2023 - 2024KUA Girls’ Varsity Lacrosse: Teamwork, Development, Excellence
The KUA Girls’ Varsity Lacrosse Team participates in the competitive Lakes Region Athletic Conference. As a varsity team, our ultimate goal, is to develop our players both on and off the field. We strive to excel in the classroom first and foremost, as well as to build our players’ skills on the lacrosse field. This combination of excelling on and off the field has led our program to having a long history of alumnae playing at top tier Division I, II and III schools.
The development of our student-athletes begins with our coaches. KUA’s current head coach is Brigid “Brig” Hurley. Coach Brig has been coaching high level lacrosse for over ten years and brings a background of playing and coaching at the college level. Coach Brig played at St. Lawrence University, where she captained her senior season and earned Regional All-American honors. After graduating in 2013, she went on to coach at the University of Manchester in Manchester, England. She then completed her Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, specializing in Sports Leadership from Mercyhurst University. While at Mercyhurst, she was the Interim Head Women's Lacrosse Coach and led the team to their first PSAC Championship win in program history in 2016. Before coming to KUA, Coach Brig was the Girls' High School Program Director for Harlem Lacrosse Boston, where she oversaw academics, athletics, and the college recruitment process. She has most recently completed her Master of School Counseling degree from Boston College and is a School Counselor here on the hilltop. This background allows for her to help develop players into collegiate athletes and assist them in the recruiting process.
