Colleen Fink was named head coach of the University of Pennsylvania's field hockey program in April of 2010, completing her 12th season at the helm in 2021. Her tenure has sparked a resurgence in the Quakers program, placing them among the Ivy League's top programs.

Penn has been above .500 in seven seasons under Fink, including two seasons with 13 wins, a feat previously accomplished just twice in the first 40 years of the program's history as a varsity program (1973-2012). In both 2013 and 2015, the Quakers entered their final regular-season game at Ellen Vagelos Field playing for a share of the Ivy League title and the league's NCAA Championship automatic bid. Fink has a 95-90 overall record and is 41-36 in Ivy League play.

Penn did not have a first-team All-Ivy player from 2008-12; in the last eight seasons, the Quakers have had 10. After placing just one woman on the All-Ivy teams in Fink's first season (2010) and two in her second season (2011), Penn has had four women receive All-Ivy recognition in six of the last eight seasons. In addition, Penn had the Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2013 (Jasmine Cole) and 2014 (Alexa Hoover), and in both cases they were named first-team All-Ivy as freshmen, the first two times that happened in program history.

Hoover earned NFHCA All-America as both a sophomore and junior, becoming the program's first All-America since 2003, just its third since 1989, and just the third player in Penn history to be a multi All-America selection. At the NFHCA All-Region level, Penn had no players recognized from 2008-12 but has had 14 in the last eight seasons including seven first-team selections. Hoover also became the program's first four-time First Team All-Ivy selection and just the fourth in Ivy League history. In 2019, Alexa Schneck joined Hoover as one of three Penn players to receive an All-Ivy nod in each of their four years with the program.
