COACHING STAFFLAUREN SCOTT

Lauren Scott enters her second

season as head lacrosse coach at

Meredith College. Joining the staff in

the spring of 2012, she was charged

with launching the new sport at

Meredith.

Scott’s young squad claimed fifth-

place in regular season standings

and earned a bid to the USA South

tournament. Standout midfielder

Katie Burnet garnered Rookie of the

Year honors and led the way for four Avenging Angels to receive All-

Conference accolades during the program’s first season.

Scott hails from Danbury (Conn.) High School where she served as

the girl’s varsity lacrosse coach from 2004-12. In just five seasons,

Scott took the lacrosse program from a season record of 2-14 in 2003

to boast a Division II State Championship title in 2008. Along with her

team’s success, Scott earned numerous coaching accolades as well.

In addition to her tenure at Danbury, Scott also served as a Connecti-

cut Lightning premier coach for two seasons and as a volunteer assis-

tant at her alma mater, Western Connecticut State University in 2004.

An advocate for the sport of lacrosse and as outreach to her commu-

nity, Scott served seven years as the girl’s director of Nutmeg Sports

“West” for girl’s lacrosse. In addition, she originated and directed

Community Lacrosse, a self-run and organized lacrosse camp for the

greater-Danbury area.

Scott lettered four seasons of women’s lacrosse for Western Connect-

icut State. During her career with the Colonials, she played multiple

positions and set school records in scoring, ground balls, caused

turnovers, and points. She earned all-conference accolades three

times while with Western and turned in Little East Conference Player

of the Week honors twice.

Scott earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Western

Connecticut State and also holds a teaching certificate and minor in

Exercise Science from Southern Connecticut State University.

KATE MCKINLEY

Kate McKinley joined the Meredith

College Women’s Lacrosse coaching

staff in August 2012 as an assistant

to Head Coach Lauren Scott for the

inaugural Avenging Angel’s program.

The Danbury, Connecticut, native

comes to Meredith after three years

as head coach of the Connecticut

Lightning, where her team won the

2010 New England Youth Tourna-

ment.

McKinley also served as an assistant coach for New Canaan Youth

Lacrosse Association for four seasons where she helped her team win

three state titles. She was also an assistant director for the Summer

Laxin’ Lacrosse Camp for four years.

McKinley was an attacker for the Fairfield University women’s lacrosse

team. During her tenure with the program, the Stags were ranked

among the NCAA’s Top 20 Division I programs in 2009. Fairfield won

the 2009 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship securing

the program’s first NCAA tournament appearance. The Stags were

conference runner-ups for the next three consecutive seasons.

At Danbury High School McKinley was a three-sport varsity letter

winner in soccer, indoor track and lacrosse. She was a member of

the 2008 Lacrosse State Championship team under the tutelage of

Meredith’s new Head Lacrosse Coach Lauren Scott. McKinley was a

two-time all-state and all-conference selection in lacrosse. She set a

school record in 2008 for goals in a season with 87.

MEREDITH COLLEGE ATHLETICS PROGRAMTHE DIVISION III EXPERIENCE

Meredith athletics teams participate in Division III of the National Col-

legiate Athletic Association. Division III athletics offers student-athletes

the opportunity to become well-rounded individuals who successfully

integrate athletics and academics while experiencing all aspects of

college life. Student-athletes who compete at this level can receive aca-

demic and need-based financial assistance. The athletic department is

staffed and funded like any other department in the College.

ACADEMICS

Meredith College’s commitment to academics is exemplified by its

athletics teams. Each year, the USA South Athletic Conference recog-

nizes its student-athletes’ hard work in the classroom by naming an

Academic All-Conference team. In 2013, 54 Meredith students were

named to the team, eight of whom earned a perfect 4.0 GPA. The Mer-

edith athletics program further recognizes student-athletes who earn

a 3.5 cumulative GPA as members of the Athletics Director’s Club and

those who earn a perfect 4.0 GPA with the Vice-President’s Scholar-

Athlete Award.

MEDICAL SERVICES

The athletic training staff provides excellent care for student-athletes.

The athletic training support staff consists of head athletic trainer,

Sharon Malley, and Assistant Athletic Trainer Heidi Roach. Dr. Doug

Martini of Cary Orthopedic serves as the program’s team physician. In

addition, Meredith College serves as a clinical site for the UNC-Chapel

Hill Undergraduate Athletic Training Program. Services and equipment

provided include a whirlpool, hydrocollator, ultrasound, injury ice and

electrical stimulation.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Members from each team are elected to the Student Athlete Advisory

Committee that organizes support for each sport and also coordinates

community service. Past volunteer work includes Special Olympics

of Wake County, Habitat for Humanity, Service Raleigh, and the USA

South Athletic Conference’s Cans Across the Conference and Pennies

for a Purpose.

WEATHERSPOON GYMNASIUMThe home to Meredith’s basketball and volleyball teams. The facility

provides up-close seating for over 500 spectators. The complex also

includes locker rooms, athletics offices, a training room, a fitness

center, a 5,000 square-foot dance studio and a six-lane, indoor

swimming pool.

MEREDITH ATHLETIC FIELD AND TRACK COMPLEXThe home to Meredith’s soccer, cross country and lacrosse teams. The

complex includes a lighted competition level track, a FieldTurf artificial

playing surface capable of supporting soccer and lacrosse games and

a storage facility. Future phases of the project will include a grandstand,

hospitality areas, support facilities, restrooms, brick arcade and locker

rooms. The cross country team uses the complex as well as the

College’s 225-acre campus and the Reedy Creek Greenway.

MEREDITH SOFTBALL COMPLEXThe home of Meredith softball has recently undergone several reno-

vations. The addition of irrigation to the Bermuda field and infield

improvements have stepped up the playing conditions to make it

one of the best fields in the area. New dugouts have also been

completed to increase comfort for the players and enhance the

game atmosphere.

MEREDITH TENNIS COMPLEXThe home of the Meredith tennis program includes six lighted tennis

courts. The courts, which were recently repaired and resurfaced, bear a

“US Open Blue” inner court surrounded by a green outer court. This new

scheme helps to heighten the visibility of the ball for players and fans.
