FEATURED COACHES FOR 2010:

Duke: Assistant Coach, Alex Kahoe

Alex Kahoe is in her third season as an assistant coach with the Duke women’s lacrosse team. During her time at Duke, the Blue Devils have enjoyed national prominence reaching two national semifinals and capturing an ACC regular season title. Kahoe enjoyed an outstanding career at Maryland as a goalkeeper, leading the Terrapins to five-straight NCAA Division I national titles from 1996-2000, in addition to three Atlantic Coast Conference titles and a combined record of 100-5 during her tenure. She was a two-time team captain, earned All-America honors from 1998-2000, and was the NCAA Goalie of the Year her final two seasons. In addition, Kahoe was the 1997 ACC Rookie of the Year and the ACC Goalie of the Year three times, to go along with four All-ACC nods. She was named to the ACC 50th Anniversary team in 2002, and in the spring of 2006 was selected to the NCAA 25th Anniversary All-Time Women’s Lacrosse team. Kahoe set a school record for saves in a single season by a Maryland goalie with 269, breaking an 18-year old record, and broke the school career save record with 968. That total is good for second-most all-time in NCAA history, while her 269 saves during the 1998 season was the most in the nation that year. Kahoe’s 18 saves in the ACC Tournament finals versus Virginia in 1999 is the standing record, in addition to her 30 for the whole tournament that season.

It was the second winning season for Miller in her three seasons with the Crimson. Harvard recorded its second win over a nationally-ranked team under Miller, knocking off No. 15 New Hampshire in March.
