Jennifer Addison is entering her
third season as head coach of the Lady Flyers.
She has coached Mercy to the New York Collegiate
Athletic Conference playoffs in each of her first
two seasons and last year the Lady Flyers returned
to the NCAA Division II Tournament for the first
time after a two-year hiatus. It was Mercy's fourth
trip to the national tourney in the last six seasons.
Prior to her current stint at the helm, Coach
Addison has had a long and successful relationship
with Mercy College. When she came to Mercy as
a student in the fall of 1991 - then going by
the name Jennifer Hunter - the Lady Flyers were
near the bottom of New York Collegiate Athletic
Conference. Along with some other arrivals from
her native Jamaica, Jen was a key component in
improving the program's fortunes.
During her four playing years, she was a NYCAC
All-Conference selection and established herself
as one of the premier setters in the league. Her
playing days were followed by a turn on the sidelines,
as she served as an assistant under Coach Pierre
for five years. She earned her undergraduate degree
from Mercy in 1996, graduating Cum Laude with
honors in public accounting and business administration.
Coach Addison went on to earn a Master's Degree
in Human Resource Management and she is now employed
in the college's payroll office.
