Team WA

Coach Megan -

A Lake Tapps native, Megan grew up playing for the Lake Tapps Lacrosse Club. During her high school career, Megan earned herself a spot on Team Washington. She was recruited to play in college at the Division 2 level but had to make the tough decision to step away from playing, putting her health first. With a passion for developing athletes and growing the game, Megan began coaching in 2018 with CitySide Lacrosse Club.

In 2020, Megan joined Seattle Academy as the varsity assistant coach and became the head coach in 2021. Under their leadership, Seattle Academy has made multiple Final Four appearances, culminating in a state championship victory in 2023. That same year, Megan was honored as the WSLA Coach of the Year.

Currently, Megan continues to coach at Seattle Academy (and teaches there!) while also serving as a coach for Arc Lacrosse Club. Her commitment to player development and competitive success has made her a respected figure in the Washington lacrosse community.

Coach Hilary -

Originally from Rochester, NY, Hilary played collegiate lacrosse at Northwestern University from 2005 to 2009, contributing to the program’s continued success at the national level. After her playing career, she transitioned into coaching, joining the University of Southern California staff from 2011 to 2014.

Hilary moved to Seattle and began coaching locally, working with Roosevelt High School from 2015 to 2017 and CitySide Lax from 2016 to 2020. In 2017, she joined Seattle Academy, where she continues to coach, helping to develop student-athletes and grow the game in the Pacific Northwest. She is wrapping up her maternity leave so is not coaching this current season at Seattle Academy. 

With a wealth of playing and coaching experience at the collegiate and high school levels, Hilary is passionate about mentoring young athletes and fostering a competitive and supportive team culture.
