Emily Barber

Emily Barber is enters her fourth season at the helm of the women's lacrosse program after being named the head coach in the summer of 2021.


Barber saw the highest win total in her time at Hood in the 2024 season with seven wins while four Blazers earned all-conference selections including Mackenzie Demaio who earned Hood's Women’s Athletics Most Outstanding Senior Athlete.


The 2023 season saw the best conference record in program history after winning three of their last four games on the season. Demaio and Abbey Bolingbroke's All-Conference selections were the program's first since 2019.


Her first two seasons included eight wins and the construction of her first recruiting classes turning into starters and later all-conference selections.


The former Emily Barbieri was no stranger to the Blazers before her start as head coach, serving as an assistant coach with the program from 2016-19. In her first season, she helped the Blazers to a 37-goal improvement over the previous year and a school-record 38 free position goals. Barber coached three All-Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth selections at Hood. Her teams also set school records for goals, assists and draw controls.


In the spring of 2019, Barber was tasked with restarting the program at Wilson College. In her only season on the sidelines due to COVID-19, she coached the team to the Colonial States Athletic Conference Championship Game. The Phoenix ended the year with a 4-5 record, including 3-2 in the CSAC. Three players were chosen to the All-CSAC team and Wilson earned the conference’s 3-D Award, which recognizes the team in each sport that best demonstrates the NCAA Division III philosophy of "Discover, Develop, Dedicate." In addition to her coaching duties, she was the coordinator of campus recreation and intramural sports at Wilson.


Barber serves as the women’s director of the Maryland Lacrosse Showcase and has also worked with Renegades Girls Lacrosse Club as a coach and recruiting coordinator.


She completed her playing career at Division I Monmouth University. A four-year starter, she tallied 38 goals, 44 assists and 82 points as a member of the Hawks' attack. She also served as a team captain and was a member of Monmouth's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.


Barber graduated from Monmouth in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and later earned her master’s in business administration at Hood in 2018.
