A former assistant coach at Wagner College and standout student-athlete at Hartwick College, Allison Kosich enters her fourth season as an assistant coach with the Brown University women’s water polo program and as the operations assistant for the men’s side in 2018-19.
Kosich helped lead the Bears to a national ranking of No. 24 in the final CWPA poll for the 2018 season. She mentored a pair of ACWPC All-Americans in Marisol Dakan ’18 and Jessica Heilman ’18 with Dakan concluding her career as Brown’s all-time leader in saves with 1,131 career stops.
In 2017, Brown posted a 21-10 record, marking the Bears’ seventh winning year and sixth 20-win campaign during the Felix Mercado era. Kosich helped mentor Marisa Kolokotronis ’17 who earned Second Team All-CWPA and First Team All-CWPA Tournament accolades.
During her first season with Brown’s women’s program, Kosich helped develop a young team, which included eight freshmen, against a challenging schedule that comprised 19 ranked opponents. The Bears finished the year with an 11-25 record, tallying two wins at the CWPA Championship.
On the men’s side, in 2016 Brown won the inaugural NWPC regular season championship. In 2015, she aided the Bears in winning the CWPA Northern Division tournament and regular season titles.
Kosich served as an assistant coach for the women’s water polo team at Wagner from 2013-15, helping lead the Seahawks to back-to-back Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championships and consecutive appearances in the NCAA Championship in 2014 and 2015.
At Wagner, Kosich acted in a multi-faceted role managing recruiting, financial, practice scheduling, operational, statistical, and social media duties. She aided the Seahawks in reaching the No. 14 spot in the CWPA poll in 2015 – the highest ranking in school history – and in earning the nation’s top team GPA in 2014.
Kosich played her final two seasons of collegiate water polo at Hartwick where she captained the team as a senior. She also spent time at the University of the Pacific (2008-10) and San Joaquin Delta College (2010-11).
A native of Stockton, Calif., Kosich gained a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Hartwick in 2013 and attained a master’s degree in business administration, marketing from Wagner in 2015.
