Megan Block has announced that she will be stepping down as the head coach of the St. Mary's College of Maryland field hockey team effective May 30. 

Block will be leaving college athletics altogether as she will be pursuing a position as a physical education teacher at Northwestern Elementary School in Mardela Springs, Maryland.  A national search to replace Block will begin immediately.

Block leaves St. Mary's as the field hockey program's all-time winningest coach, notching a 56-30 mark in five seasons at the helm of the Seahawks.  She guided St. Mary's to its first-ever appearance in the Capital Athletic Conference Championship game in 2007, earning CAC Coach-of-the-Year honors for her efforts.  Block mentored two All-Americans, seven players to 10 all-region selections, and 12 players to 21 All-CAC citations.

She graduated from Salisbury in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in physical education and continued her education at Salisbury, earning a master's degree in education in 2001.
