Amy Long is entering her first season as the Oilers head women's lacrosse coach in 2023-24 campaign.

Amy came to Findlay after serving eleven years as a head coach at Saint Mary’s College. Long was charged with creating the program from its onset. Her teams increased their win total year-over-year from 2014 through 2018 - the first five years of the program's existence. Her teams posted at least 10 wins in six full (non-COVID) seasons from 2017 through 2023 with top-three MIAA finishes in each of those years. 

Long's coaching legacy at Saint Mary's also includes the program's first MIAA Tournament Final appearance (2018), first All-Region honoree (2018), first MIAA Championship (2019), first MIAA Tournament Championship (2021), and first NCAA Tournament appearance (2021). The Belles finished as outright or co-conference champions twice and were two-time MIAA Tournament champions twice under Long's tutelage. In 2019, the Belles had three team members earn All-Region honors - another first for the program. Long amassed a 90-73 record with a 44-25 mark in MIAA contests during her time at the helm of the program.

Prior to her time at St. Mary’s, Long served as the head coach of the Sylvania High School girls’ lacrosse team and has held assistant coaching positions with the University of Toledo and Siena Heights University lacrosse programs. A Level 1 and Level 2 trainer with the U.S. Lacrosse Coaching Education Program, she teaches lacrosse coaches about the game during their certification process. Additionally, she is a U.S. Lacrosse level 3 certified, which is the top certification offered by the governing body.

Long graduated from the University of Toledo with degrees in marketing and professional sales. In August 2012, she completed her Master of Arts degree with a concentration in organizational leadership from Siena Heights University. Long later completed a Master’s in Business Administration at Saint Xavier in 2016.
