Meghan O’Brien is entering her fourth season as assistant coach with the Stonehill College women’s soccer program.

O'Brien helped steer the 2016 squad to the programs most historic season thus far. It included a 15-6-1 overall record and a 8-5-1 NE10 mark, while finishing fourth in regular season play and capturing its third NE10 Championship title ever. O'Brien also helped guide the team to its first NCAA Tournament game in the history of Stonehill College women's soccer. The team fell to AIC in the opening round of the NCAA East Regional bracket, hosted by the University of Bridgeport. The 2016 squad saw the NE10 Goalkeeper of the Year, Jamie Block '17, and six other All-Conference nods, including, Brianna Duserick '17 (first team), Claire O'Brien '17 (second team), Lauren Kapatoes '17 (second team), Courtney Campo '19 (third team), and Nicole Geraghty '20 (All-Rookie team). Head coach Alex Wilson, Sam Whitney and O'Brien were named NSCAA Women's Regional Staff of the Year. O'Brien also coached the third All-American in 17 years, with Block taking second team honors. 

The 2015 season concluded with a 4-10-4 overall record and a 3-8-3 mark in conference play. Juniors Claire O'Brien and Jaime Block were named to the Northeast-10 All-Conference team. Block also earned All-New England honors for the first time with her selection to the NEWISA second team, while O'Brien was named to the NEWISA first team defense for the third consecutive year. 

OBrien assisted Stonehill to an 8-8-2 record in 2014, including a 6-6-2 mark in the Northeast-10, and the program's first appearance in the NE-10 Tournament since 2011. The Skyhawks won their first four matches of the season and eventually reached 6-1-1 before earning a top-five regional ranking from the NSCAA.

At the conclusion of the season, sophomores Claire O'Brien and Hannah Fay earned All-NE-10 second and third team recognition, respectively, while both players also collected All-New England accolades from NEWISA. In addition, freshman midfielder Taylor Shannahan earned a spot on the NE-10 All-Rookie team.

In her first season at the helm, O'Brien guided Stonehill to a 5-8-1 record in the NE-10, and narrowly missed out on qualifying for the NE-10 Tournament.

O’Brien is a 2008 Stonehill graduate that is returning to coach at her alma mater alongside her former teammate and current Stonehill head coach Alex Wilson.

As a member of the Stonehill women’s soccer team, O’Brien played in 57 games (starting 54) and notched 12 goals and eight assists from 2004-2007. As a senior in 2007, she served as team captain along with Wilson. O’Brien was named to the Northeast-10 All-Academic Third Team in ’06 and ’07, and Northeast-10 All-Conference Third Team in ’06.

O’Brien has previous coaching experience with the girl’s soccer program at Nashoba Regional High School in Bolton, Mass., as well as the Joseph H. Martin School in Taunton, Mass. She currently works as a Pre-K guidance counselor at John F. Parker Middle School in Taunton.
