Head Coach evans@hood.edu (301) 696-3465 ext. 3 |
Molly Evans enters her fourth season with the Blazer women's lacrosse team.
Evans was hired Nov. 13, 2007 and is the fifth women’s
lacrosse head coach in program history. She took over the squad
from Staci Brennan who, after five years at the helm, chose to
focus her efforts exclusively on Hood’s field hockey
program.
During Hood's inaugural season in the Capital Athletic Conference
in 2008, the Blazers posted a record of 4-12 and 0-7 in the CAC.
Evans earned her first career coaching victory March 30, 2008
against Hollins University (15-0). Additionally, senior goalie
Lauren Lieb became the first Hood women's lacrosse player to earn
all-conference honors with her selection to the second team.
In 2009, Evans mentored the Blazers to a school-record eight
victories (8-7) and its first winning season since 2005. Hood also
registered its first CAC victory with a 14-13 triumph over Wesley
College in its season opener.
In 2010, Hood posted a record of 4-11 overall and finished seventh in the CAC (0-7). One of Evans' star offensive players, Brandy Noel '10, appeared in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd section and was chosen as Hood's Most Outstanding Senior Student-Athlete at the annual awards banquet.
A 2005 graduate of Western Connecticut State University, Evans
was a four-year starting defender and two-time captain on the
women’s lacrosse team. She led the Colonials to four straight
Little East Conference tournaments, including a third place finish
her senior year. Hesterberg also participated in several Western
Connecticut lacrosse clinics.
In 2006, Evans served as the head lacrosse coach at Mercy High
School in Middletown, Conn., where she coached the junior varsity
squad and assisted with the varsity club.
Evans earned a bachelor of science degree in justice and law
administration and went on to earn an master’s degree in
criminal justice at American International College in May 2007. She
and her busband, Marvin, currently reside in Parkville, Md.
