Coaches

	FRANK ROGERS Head Coach -- Frank Rogers will direct the newly announced women’s lacrosse team at Aquinas College which will begin competition in the spring of 2010. Rogers brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the position and is very eager to get everything up and running from the “ground floor.”

	Coach Rogers began his coaching duties at various high schools in New York in the early 90’s. Rogers took control of the men’s lacrosse program at Western Michigan University in 1996. Most recently Rogers has been coaching the women’s lacrosse team at Western Michigan University and working with various travel teams in the Kalamazoo area.

	Rogers also is very active in camps, clinics and foundations all aimed at continuing the growth and development of the sport of lacrosse. Rogers has been a member of the U.S. Lacrosse Foundation for 35 years and is always looking for new and exciting ways to expose lacrosse to novices of the sport.

	KATY MOHR Assistant Coach -- Katy Mohr begins her first year as an assistant coach with the women’s lacrosse program. Mohr is a 2009 graduate from Western Michigan University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation. Katy is no stranger to lacrosse as she has been involved on many levels for the last 11 years. She was a standout lacrosse player during her prep years at Tecumseh High School and received the honor of All-State 1st Team two years in a row.

	During her college years Mohr was the president of WMU’s club lacrosse team as well as a captain. She also coached in Portage for 3 years with her last year being the head coach and leading her team to the championship game for the club tournament in 2008 season. She looks forward to bringing her knowledge as a player and a coach to the game here at Aquinas.

	During the off season Katy loves to travel around the country and work at summer camps helping youth to grow, learn and challenge themselves with different activities. Mohr also recently donated a kidney to her cousin and is excited to get back into coaching after her recovery.

Season Outlook

The AQ Women's Lacrosse team had one of the most successful first years in the history of sports, combining a great group of Freshmen and current student-athletes Aquinas posted a amazing 20-2 record. Posting 20 straight wins in route to a Conference Championship and a Regional Finals appearance. Heading into their inaugural season Coach Rogers did not know what to expect, "I knew we had a good Freshmen class, and some experienced upper classmen that were already on campus, but we also had 9 girls out of our 21 who had never played before."

Using a tough zone defense that complimented their fast break offense the Saints ended the season with the number 1 offense and number 1 defense in the league. AQ placed 4 players on the WCLL First Team All League, lead by Freshmen Captain Kati Rogers (Portage Central) who lead the nation in scoring with 97 goals and 47 assist. Rogers combined with 2 other all league players Michelle Murphy (SO, Grand Rapdis Catholic 45G 55A) and Lauren McCarty (FR, GR Catholic 66G 26A) to produce one of the most potent Attacks in the nation.

Bre Stockall (FR, Okemos) and Bri Shefferly (FR, GR Catholic) anchored the defense along with Co-Captain Anne Parks (SO, Flint Powers). Stockall posted a 54% save percentage and a GAA of only 7.04. Due to her strong athletic ability Shefferly was asked to go back and forth between the midfield and defense and ended up leading the team Ground Balls.

The Saints also received great play out of their Basketball Three, Liza Flewelling (FR, Flint Powers) Taelor Sanders (FR, Dexter) and Clare Conway (FR, Grosse Pointe North). Hannah Brogger (SO, Harbor Springs) was another one of those players who has moved around and was a strong piece in both the offense and defense.
