Tampa Named IWLCA Coaching Staff of the Year

NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. – Tampa women's lacrosse named IWLCA National and South Region Coaching Staff of the Year. 

The IWLCA has announced the 2024 National and Regional Coaching Staffs of the Year in Division I, II, and III. The NAIA honoree has been announced as well. All three National Coaching Staff of the Year honorees earned a National Title this past season. All winners will be honored at the IWLCA Convention which is set to take place this November at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront Hotel in Tampa, Florida.

The IWLCA Coaching Staff of the Year Award honors one National and multiple Regional Coaching Staffs of the Year from each NCAA Division and a National Coaching Staff of the Year from the NAIA. Ahead of the 2024 season, the IWLCA Board of Directors approved changing the name of this award to recognize the entire coaching staff, rather than individual coaches.
