Stephanie Allen hired as Binghamton assistant women's lacrosse coach

VESTAL, N.Y. - The Binghamton University athletic department has announced the hiring of Stephanie Allen as its assistant women's lacrosse coach. She comes directly from Presbyterian College (located in Clinton, S.C.), where she was the programs inaugural head coach the past three years.

Allen arrived at Presbyterian in January 2004 and coached the squad during the 2004-05 season when it competed on the club level. The ensuing two years, Presbyterian played at the NCAA Division II level and this coming spring, it will move up to the Division I level. Allen successfully recruited athletes from eight states, including four All-Americans and a pair of state Player of of the Year selections.

A 2003 graduate of Limestone College, Allen was a four-year starting midfielder on the lacrosse team and a team captain her senior year.

"Stephanie is a great addition to our program," head coach Tony Zostant said. "She brings a wealth of experience to our team, will be an excellent recruiter and do a good job of developing players."

"I am honored to be a part of the Binghamton women's lacrosse program and eager to work with Coach Zostant," Allen said, "I look forward to continuing my coaching career here as it is an exciting time to be a part of the Binghamton lacrosse program."
