The women’s lacrosse program at the University of New Haven has suffered greatly under the current Head Coach. Key issues include poor leadership, inconsistent communication, and a lack of player development. Practices feel childish, expectations are unclear, and decisions lack transparency, leading to frustration and low team morale. The recent coaching transition further eroded trust. Administration told players they would have a voice in the process, but that promise was not kept. The Athletic Director made the decision independently and informed the team via email. There are also concerns about the team environment. The coach has reportedly used vulgar language toward players, and there appears to be little ability to adjust strategy during games. Overall, the program does foster the growth and confidence expected at the college level.
