"I am thrilled to announce the addition of Mackenzie and Elise to our program's staff," Dodson remarked at the time of Beck’s hiring. "Both coaches bring championship playing and coaching experience to IU, and will help with more than game tactics. With an all-female coaching staff, our student athletes have not only hand-picked coaches but also leaders to learn from. Mackenzie and Elise will be role models for our program on and off the pool deck. I could not be more excited to start the new eta of IU Water Polo with these women in our staff."

Beck came to Bloomington with over 15 years of water polo experience as both a player and a coach. Beck was a professional water polo player for two years, playing overseas in Australia (UNSW), Spain (CN Rubi) and Greece (Tritons Water Polo Club).

"I am very excited for the joining the Hoosier family and the opportunity to be coaching these high-level athletes," Beck said at the time of her hiring. "I am ready to hit the ground running with this team and looking forward to working with Coaches Dodson and Begg and the amazing athletic staff at IU."
