Breaking News: Kayla Treanor Named Head Coach of Penn State Women’s Lacrosse
In a significant development for collegiate women’s lacrosse, Kayla Treanor has been appointed as the new head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions women’s lacrosse team. This announcement comes after Treanor’s successful tenure at Syracuse University, where she led the Orange to multiple NCAA Tournament appearances and was instrumental in their resurgence to Championship Weekend in 2023.
Treanor’s appointment marks a new chapter for the Nittany Lions, who have been under the leadership of Coach Missy Doherty since 2011. Doherty, a former University of Maryland standout, has guided Penn State to numerous NCAA Tournament appearances, including back-to-back Final Four berths in 2016 and 2017. Her tenure has been marked by consistent success, and her departure paves the way for Treanor to bring her expertise and vision to the program.
Known for her dynamic coaching style and deep understanding of the game, Treanor is expected to build upon the foundation established by Doherty. Her experience as a former standout player and assistant coach at institutions like Harvard and Boston College will be invaluable as she takes the helm at Penn State.
The Penn State women’s lacrosse program has a rich history, with multiple NCAA championships and a tradition of excellence. With Treanor’s leadership, the Nittany Lions are poised to continue their legacy and strive for new heights in collegiate lacrosse.
As Treanor transitions to her new role, the lacrosse community eagerly anticipates the future of Penn State women’s lacrosse under her guidance.
