While at Stonehill, Arpé's responsibilities included the planning of team practices, goalkeeper coaching responsibilities, game management, strength and conditioning and recruiting and scouting.

"We are thrilled to have Amanada Arpé join the Simmons Athletics Department," said Director of Athletics Ali Kantor. "Her academic and athletic collegiate experience at William Smith is outstanding. She knows what it takes to be a highly successful student athlete.

"Amanda's coaching experience at the NCAA Division II and high school levels provides her the skills and strategies to bring Simmons Field Hockey and Simmons Lacrosse to a higher level. I am confident that our student athletes will have an excellent experience playing for Coach Arpé".

Arpé is a 2003 graduate of Hobart & William Smith Colleges where she earned her B.A. in American Studies. She was a four-year member of the varsity field hockey team that won the 2000 Division III National Championship.

Arpé has coached several camps and clinics in the northeast. She was the Assistant Director of Stonehill's Ultimate Field Hockey Camp, and assisted at Springfield College's YES Clinic and the East West Field Hockey Camps at Keene State.
