Sept. 22, 2004

DURHAM, N.C. - Duke University women's lacrosse head coach Kerstin Kimel announced Wednesday the hiring of Josh Hexter as an assistant coach with the program. Hexter will be primarily responsible for coaching the offense.

"I am so pleased that Josh is joining our staff. He is a great person whom I feel will be a tremendous fit for our program. He brings a new perspective, a wealth of knowledge and seven years of head coaching experience at Bridgewater State. I look forward to the infusion of his ideas into our current team system and offensive units. We are excited to welcome Josh, his wife Courtney and son Evan to the Duke Women's Lacrosse Family."

Hexter comes to Duke after serving as the head women's lacrosse coach at Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, Mass. for the last seven years. Under his guidance, the program amassed a 72-42 record and made a trip to the New England Women's Lacrosse Alliance (NEWLA) title game in six consecutive seasons. He led the team to two conference championships during this time and in 2003, Bridgewater made the program's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Prior to coaching at Bridgewater, Hexter coached the New England National women's lacrosse team and in the Bay State Games. He also served as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at The College of the Holy Cross from 1996-97.

A 1995 graduate of Assumption College, he was a four-year standout attackman on the lacrosse team, earning team captain and NECLA All-Star honors during his senior campaign. In 1995, Hexter became the first player in Assumption history to earn a spot in the East-West New England All-Star Game.
