LYCOMING NAMES HILLARY BARRETT HEAD COACH FOR WOMEN’S LACROSSE

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – Lycoming College has announced the hiring of Hillary Barrett as the head coach of the women’s lacrosse program. She will also serve as an assistant coach for the women’s soccer program.

“We’re extremely happy to have Hillary as our new women’s lacrosse coach,” said Athletics Director Frank Girardi. “Hillary helped build the program as a player from its second season in existence to her senior year when they finished 11-5. I’m confident that her leadership as a player will carry over as she begins her coaching career and that she will continue to move the women’s lacrosse program in a positive direction.”

Barrett is a 2001 graduate of the College where she was a member of the women’s lacrosse team each of her four years. Barrett served as one of the team’s co-captains during her junior and senior seasons. The Warriors were a combined 19-12 under her leadership. She still ranks as one of Lycoming’s all-time most productive attackers, ranking second in career goals, assists, and points for the Warriors.

“I’m very excited to return to Lycoming and the women’s lacrosse program,” said Barrett. “It’s a great situation in which to begin my coaching career and I look forward to the challenge of continuing to build what is still a very young program.”

A graduate of Perkiomen Valley High School in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, Barrett now resides in Montoursville.
