First Day at Johns Hopkins: June 28, 2024
In his second season as a member of head coach Peter Milliman’s staff - and first as an assistant coach - is Chayse Ierlan, who was named the program’s Director of Operations on June 28, 2024 before being promoted to assistant coach on August 11, 2025.
In his new role, Ierlan works closely with Milliman directing the Blue Jay offense while also lending his expertise to the Blue Jay goalies.
In 2026, Ierlan will have the opportunity to guide an experienced, yet still young, group of offensive players while helping guide a deep and talented group of Blue Jay goalies.
As the Director of Operations, Ierlan coordinated all team travel, managed the team’s extensive video operation, arranged all recruiting visits and served as a liaison between the program and all internal and external constituents. He also worked closely with the Department of Athletics administration on budget operations and other day-to-day activities associated with the program.
In 2024, Ierlan capped a standout college career that included one season at Johns Hopkins (2024) and four years at Cornell (2020-23). He posted a 9.53 goals against average and .564 save percentage while helping lead the Blue Jays to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2024.
Ierlan ranked seventh in the nation in goals against average and eighth in save percentage; his 199 saves were the most by a Blue Jay goalie since 2008 and the second-most by a Johns Hopkins goalie this century.
Ierlan was a four-year starter in goal at Cornell and appeared in 52 games with 50 starts. He was an Honorable Mention USILA All-American, USILA Scholar All-American and First Team All-Ivy League selection in 2023, when he posted an 11.13 goals against average and a .522 save percentage.
He helped the Big Red to an appearance in the 2022 NCAA Championship game finished his Cornell career with an 11.40 goals against average and a .517 save percentage.
