“We are thrilled to have a coach like Christine,” said Athletic Director Roy Wentworth. “She has an incredible coaching resume that is only going to benefit our student athletes. Her knowledge of the game, proven track record and commitment to our program will help our team succeed and grow.”

 “I am excited for this opportunity to share my lacrosse knowledge with a team that has a desire to continue to grow and improve,” said Hutchison. “I’m ready to support, develop and teach our student-athletes so they will have the best experience possible while learning about sportsmanship, teamwork, positive mindset and the rewards of hard work on the field and in the classroom.”
