Women's lacrosse adds former Bearcat standout Wetherell as part-time assistant

VESTAL, N.Y.- First-year Binghamton University women's lacrosse head coach Tony Zostant has announced the addition of former Bearcat standout and 2006 graduate Lauren Wetherell to his coaching staff as a part-time assistant coach for the 2008 season.

She joins a staff that includes first-year assistant coach Stephanie Allen.

Wetherell is no stranger to the women's program. She was a mainstay in the Bearcat midfield from 2002-06 and remains the program leader in points, assists, draw controls and ground balls.
The Bethpage, N.Y. native twice earned All-America East honors during her four-year tenure at Binghamton (2nd team in 2003 and 2006) and was an all-rookie selection as a freshman.

"Lauren obviously knows the program very well," Zostant said. "She understands what it takes to be successful here in the classroom and on the field. We are glad to have her on board."

Binghamton kicks off its seventh season of intercollegiate women's lacrosse when it opens a 16-game slate on Sunday, February 17 at William and Mary.
