The freshman class won't be the only new addition set to impact the Irish women's lacrosse team, as head coach Tracy Coyne welcomes a new assistant coach to her staff. World Cup veteran Danielle Gallagher brings a wealth of international experience to the program. She is going to bring news ideas and a fresh perspective and will be a tremendous influence on our team. She is competing for a berth on her third World Cup team and will be a positive role modal for the team. It is great to see Tracy doing what she is doing with program.
Good things are definitely in store for the program.
I've known Tracy for years so it will be fun to work with her. She knows what she wants out of the players and has goals and a vision for the program. Her knowledge of the game and ways to score will provide a boost to Notre Dame's scoring efforts. My expectations will be high and will be placed upon the kids. Gallagher's arrival at Notre Dame also should help the Manhasset, N.Y., native prepare for the upcoming World Cup in addition to helping the Irish develop into one of the country's top programs.
