Share to Lead Lady Scotts

WOOSTER, Ohio — Alison Share will handle the head women’s lacrosse coaching duties on an interim basis at The College of Wooster in 2002-2003, announced Bob Malekoff, director of athletics at the school. Share, an assistant at Wooster this past year, takes over for Liz Grote, who last week accepted the head position at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine.

"I’m delighted Alison will be our head coach in 2002-2003," commented Malekoff. "The program is coming off a championship season and in terrific shape, and I’m confident that Alison will build on our past success."

Share helped guide the Scots to their most successful season in school history this past spring. Wooster went 12-6, marking the most wins in the program’s 29-year history, and more impressively, won its first North Coast Athletic Conference title en route to appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time, where it dropped a 12-11 heartbreaker to Cabrini College in the first round.

Prior to coming to Wooster last fall as an assistant women’s soccer and women’s lacrosse coach, Share spent one year traveling the Pacific Basin, following two years of coaching in Europe. She was the head soccer and lacrosse coach at St. Swithun’s School in Winchester, England (1998-2000), as well as the head lacrosse coach at Southampton University in Southampton, England (1999-2000).

As an undergraduate, Share played soccer and lacrosse at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. She was a two-time captain and all-conference player in lacrosse (1997-1998), and lettered three times in soccer while being voted the team’s Most Improved Player in 1994.

Share earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Smith in 1998.

Grote Accepts Bowdoin Job

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin College has announced that Liz Grote has been named head coach of their women's lacrosse program. Grote, formerly the head coach at The College of Wooster in Ohio, will become the fourth head coach in the 29-year history of the program. Former head coach Nicky Pearson will retain her duties as head coach of Bowdoin's field hockey squad.

A native of Simsbury, Conn., Grote is a 1994 graduate of the University of Vermont and comes to Bowdoin with an extensive background in college lacrosse. In addition to accumulating a school-best 32-18 record in three years at Wooster, Grote held assistant coaching jobs at Monmouth University (1995), Princeton University (1996) and the University of New Hampshire (1997-99).

This past spring, Grote led Wooster to a school- record 12 victories (12-6 overall), surpassing the 29-year program's previous top mark of 10 wins in a season. Even more noteworthy, she helped direct the Scots to their first conference title and first NCAA appearance, where they lost to Cabrini, 12-11, in the first round. Grote has been named the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association Division III West Region Coach of the Year twice (2000, 2002) and was tabbed as North Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in both 2001 and 2002.

Grote will take the reigns of a program that plays in perhaps the most competitive lacrosse conference in the nation, the NESCAC. Bowdoin finished 10-5 overall last season, placing fifth overall in the conference with a 5-4 mark.

Ohio University Names Brew as Women's Coach

6/21/2002

ATHENS, Ohio - Kate Brew, an assistant coach at Vanderbilt, has been named head coach of the Ohio Lacrosse program, Director of Athletics Thomas Boeh announced today. She replaces Anne Moelk, who resigned last month to pursue other interests.

"We are excited to have a coach of Kate's caliber joining our staff," said associate athletics director Amy Dean, who has administrative oversight for the sport. "We believe her energy, enthusiasm and competitiveness will further the growth of our lacrosse program toward the national level."

Brew joined the Commodore coaching staff prior to the 1999 season as the second assistant and goalkeeping coach. She was promoted to first assistant in 2000, but continued to work closely with the team's goalkeepers.

"I am excited to get to Ohio and help the program grow," said Brew. "I think it will be a huge challenge, but my experiences at this level have me well-prepared. I am thrilled at the solid foundation that has been established and with the level of talent returning for next season."

While at Vanderbilt, Brew demonstrated a history of success in her role as an assistant coach. This past season, she helped a goalkeeper tandem with no previous experience lead the Commodores to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. In 1999, she molded walk-on Emily Lough into a Top 20 goalkeeper in the national statistical rankings.

Brew came to Vanderbilt after completing her playing career at James Madison. She spent three seasons in goal for the Dukes after starting her career at Massachusetts. She earned a degree in art with a concentration in interior design from JMU in 1998. Brew's lacrosse career began at Annapolis High School in Annapolis, Md., where she graduated in 1994.
