Doherty was a four-year starter on the field hockey team at the State University of New York at Geneseo, where she was named SUNYAC All-Rookie and Second Team All-Conference as a freshman. She finished her college career with 11 goals, six assists, and 11 defensive saves. After graduation, Liz served as a graduate assistant at Nichols College while pursuing her Master's Degree in Business Administration.

"I have greatly enjoyed my experience over the past year and a half as Newberry Field Hockey's Assistant Coach, and I am very excited to make the transition to the administrative side of collegiate athletics. I look forward to a very successful future for all Newberry College athletic programs. Go Wolves!"
