Kate Brew, an assistant coach at Vanderbilt, has been named head coach of the Ohio University lacrosse program.
"We are excited to have a coach of Kate's caliber joining our staff," said Associate Director of Athletics Amy Dean, who has administrative oversight for the sport. "We believe her energy, enthusiasm and competitiveness will further the growth of our lacrosse program toward the national level."
While at Vanderbilt, Brew demonstrated a history of success in her role as an assistant coach. This past season, she helped a goalkeeper tandem with no previous experience lead the team to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. In 1999, she molded walk-on Emily Lough into a Top 20 goalkeeper in the national statistical rankings.
"I'm excited about coming to Ohio to help the program grow," Brew said. "I think it will be a huge challenge, but my experiences at this level have me well-prepared. I am thrilled at the solid foundation that has been established and with the level of talent returning for next season."
