Helping the Hens
UD’s lacrosse teams have a lot going for them—conference titles, individual scholar-athlete awards, Top 20 rankings—and they accomplished all this without the Division I athletics standard of full-time assistant coaches. But thanks to donors like you, the Hens finally got full-time assistant coaches on staff for both the men and women's teams. Imagine what they’ll achieve now that head coaches Bob Shillinglaw and Kateri Linville (HS ’03) can focus their energy on what it takes to win.
