One of the top women’s lacrosse goalkeepers in NCAA history, Kim Jackson led the Blue Hens to three national lacrosse titles and one third place finish for coach Janet Smith as Delaware built a dynasty in the early 1980’s. Jackson solidified the UD defense in the net, playing every minute of all 70 games during her career. She led the squad to a four-year record of 60-9-1, AIAW national titles in 1981 and 1982, an NCAA Division I title in 1983, and a third place NCAA finish and East Coast Conference crown in 1984. A native of Berwyn, PA, she earned USWLA All-American and All-NCAA Tournament honors in 1982, was a member of the U.S. Lacrosse Team, and earned first team All-ECC honors in 1982. She still holds six school records, including saves in a season (264) and career (925), save percentage in a season (.724) and career (.678), and goals allowed average in a career (6.18). She is single and resides in Malvern, PA. She is in her 23rd year as a physical education teacher at West Chester (PA) Henderson High School where she served as field hockey head coach from 1986-2001 and has been the girl’s lacrosse head coach since 1987.
