Back for her second year as a member of the Saint Joseph's women's soccer coaching staff is former Hawk standout Grace Bendon '19.
In her first season, Bendon oversaw the SJU goalkeepers as they combined to rank second in the Atlantic 10 in saver percentage (.795), third in saves (93) and shutouts (seven), and fifth in goals against average (1.20).
Arguably the top goalkeeper in program history, Bendon holds the record for single-season (14) and career victories (32) and tied the all-time shutouts mark (16). An Atlantic 10 All-Conference Second Team honoree as a senior, she helped the Hawks to four-straight appearances in the semifinals of the A-10 Championship and led SJU to the 2016 A-10 Regular Season title and an appearance in the conference championship.
A native of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, she graduated with a degree this past May with a degree in criminal justice.
