WILLIAMSBURG — William & Mary Lacrosse Head Coach Kelyn Freedman has announced the hiring of Katie Lasater as an assistant coach.
While Lasater will be instrumental in all areas of the program, her primary responsibilities will include serving as the offensive coordinator.
“I am very excited for Katie to join our staff,” Freedman said. “She brings a wealth of knowledge and an extensive amount of experience to the sideline. Her ability to connect with players and teach the game will be a tremendous asset to the team.”
Lasater, a former standout attacker at Cabrini University, joins the Tribe’s staff after impressive tenures as an assistant coach with multiple successful programs, most recently at Bucknell University.
“I’m super excited to be here at W&M and to be working with Kelyn,” Lasater said. “Her vision for the program is very impressive and I can’t wait to be a part of it!”
As an assistant at Bucknell in 2023, Lasater was instrumental in the development of multiple All-Patriot League standouts. Additionally, the Bison excelled in the classroom as 29 standouts garnered Patriot League Academic Honor Roll distinction.
Prior to her time at Bucknell, she served as an assistant at Washington & Lee University in 2022. En route to helping lead the Generals total a school-record-tying 19 wins, the squad captured the ODAC regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals. Additionally, six W&L standouts earned all-conference honors, highlighted by the ODAC Defensive Player of the Year.
Lasater’s coaching resume also includes working as an assistant at Kutztown University (2018-21), Arcadia University (2017-18) and with Philly Blast Lacrosse Club (2017-present).
A standout attacker at Cabrini, Lasater finished her collegiate playing career with 126 points, 94 goals and 32 assists. She led the Cavaliers to four consecutive league championships and NCAA Tournament appearances, while she was honored as the MVP of the 2016 Colonial State Athletic Conference championship game. She was also selected to the CSAC All-Academic Team.
A native of Malvern, Pa., Lasater earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing with minors in sports management and finance from Cabrini in 2016.
