Kristen, the founder of Lax Plus Club Lacrosse, is the Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach at Springfield College. A former standout for Springfield’s women’s lacrosse team, Kristen still holds SC’s all-time record for points in a season with 77, and ranks fifth all-time in career points with 162.

Kristen re-entered the collegiate coaching ranks in 2009 after spending several years coaching high school and youth lacrosse in Connecticut. In addition to being the girl’s lacrosse coach for Hall High School in West Hartford, Kristen was named the President of the Connecticut High School Coaches Association for high school lacrosse for the spring of 2009, and has been the coach of the U-15 Connecticut Select Team since 2000. On the college level, Kristen also once served as the head coach for the Central Connecticut State University women’s lacrosse program from 2003-2005.

In addition to Lax Plus and her position at Springfield College, Kristen is still involved in a variety of camps in the area, including the Peak Performance and Total Lacrosse Camps. Since 2003, she has been the Strength and Conditioning Coordinator as well as the Director of Field Hockey and Lacrosse at Sportsworld, in Windsor, CT.

Melissa is originally from the Syracuse, New York area. In high school she lettered four years under Baldwinsville head coach, Doug Rowe, who is now a director of one of the top club lacrosse programs in the country. During her high school years, she led her team to the New York State Championship game two years in a row, capturing one title, and making her one of the top defensive recruits in the country for the class of 2000. After being offered a full athletic scholarship she decided to attend the University of Connecticut, where she became a four-year starter for the Huskies, under head coach and USA Team member, Bonnie Rosen. In addition to earning a number of academic awards during her time at UConn, she was named First Team All-Big East, Regional All-American, Team Captain, and Defensive MVP in 2004.

Since moving to Connecticut she has always wanted to promote the growth of lacrosse in the surrounding areas in hopes that one day it may be considered a hotbed like the Syracuse area where she grew up.
