A standout player at nearby Rider University, Alicia Govannicci begins her first season as an assistant coach at La Salle University in 2020-21.

Govannicci comes to the La Salle field hockey program after spending the 2019 season at Central Michigan as a graduate assistant. While there, she assisted in all aspects of the program and helped the Chippewas to a strong academic showing that landed them three NFHCA Scholars of Distinction.

As a player, Govannicci was a three-time All-Northeast Conference selection for the Broncs. She scored the lone goal in the 67th minute of a 1-0 victory over Monmouth in the NEC title game, advancing the team to the NCAA Tournament as a freshman. Over four years, her teams went a combined 63-19 and earned three NCAA Tournament berths.

Prior to CMU, she served as an assistant coach at Immaculata University in 2018 and has coached at the club and high school levels since 2012.
