Andrea Bradley is in her fourth season as an assistant coach at Maryland. During Bradley's three-year tenure at Maryland, the Terps have won the national championship in 1999, ACC championships in 1998 and 1999 while establishing a .841 (58-11) winning percentage. Maryland has been ranked in the nation's top-10 in every weekly poll during her three years as an assistant coach in College Park.

The top assistant on Missy Meharg's staff, one of Bradley's main responsibilities is tutoring the goalkeepers. Bradley mentored Angela Platt, a NCAA All-Tournament selection during the 1998 season, and Ashley Hohnstine, a 1999 Mid-Atlantic Regional All-America second-team and an All-NCAA Tournament team honoree. Hohnstine was the nation's top-ranked goalie with a 0.66 goals against average and ranked eighth nationally with a 82.6 save percentage.

Prior to her arrival at Maryland, Bradley was an assistant at Iowa from 1995 to 1996. The Hawkeyes won two regular season Big Ten championships and participated in the NCAA Tournament during both of her years there. Before going to Iowa, Bradley was the head coach at Goucher College in Towson, Md., from 1991-94. During that four-year stint, Bradley led the team to a 37-18-2 record. She was named the NCAA Division III South Region Coach of the Year in 1992 and led Goucher to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 1994.

Bradley served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Under-16 team in 1998 and 1999. The Under-16 team is selected at the conclusion of the AAU Junior Olympic Games each August and introduces young athletes to international competition while preparing them for future national team consideration. She is also an instructor for the United States Field Hockey Association (USFHA) Level One coaching certification program. In addition, Bradley is the Regional Coaching and Administrative Director for the USFHA Futures program in the Chesapeake Region. She is currently the head coach of the Tidewater Tempest of the United Airlines Summer League.

Bradley led the Chesapeake Region U-16 team to a gold medal at the 1999 Futures Tournament, held at the University of Maryland.

A four-year letterwinner in field hockey and lacrosse at Delaware, Bradley was named the East Coast Conference Most Valuable Player in field hockey in 1987. She was also an all-conference selection in 1987 and led the Blue Hens to the 1985 ECC championship. A goalkeeper, Bradley holds Fightin' Blue Hen records for career shutouts (26) and ranks second in career saves (477). Delaware ranked in the top-20 throughout her career and was ranked as high as eighth in the NCAA poll during her junior season in 1986.

Bradley earned her bachelor's degree in physical education from Delaware in 1988 and her master's in exercise physiology from Northern Illinois in 1991.
