Caline McHenry Named Head Coach At Bucknell
8/23/2007 12:00:00 AM | Women's Lacrosse
DURHAM, N.C. - Caline McHenry, Duke's former All-America and Tewaaraton Trophy semifinalist and a two-year member of the U.S. National Team, has been named the head women's lacrosse coach at Bucknell, announced Wednesday by the school in Lewisburg, Pa.
McHenry spent the 2007 season as an assistant coach at Davidson, and in 2006 she served as a graduate assistant coach at Ohio University, where she received a master's degree in recreation and sport science.
“I would like to sincerely thank the athletic department leadership for giving me the opportunity to coach at Bucknell,” said McHenry. “I am very honored to become part of such a prestigious institution and well-respected athletic program.”
“My experience as a student-athlete at Duke and as a coach at Davidson is parallel to Bucknell in terms of the quality student-athletes in the program,” said McHenry. “I've lived that life myself, and I know what it's like to be at a school that puts a priority on academics. It is important that they are students first.”
A native of Reisterstown, Md., and a graduate of prep powerhouse Roland Park Country School in Baltimore, Md., McHenry went on to enjoy a tremendous collegiate career. She was a four-year letterwinner and a member of the Blue Devils' 2005 Final Four team that finished 17-4 and shattered the school record for wins in a season. As a senior defender on the 2005 team, she also helped lead the squad to its first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship and she earned first team All-America honors by both Inside Lacrosse and the IWLCA.
An All-ACC selection in both 2002 and 2005, McHenry was selected as a semifinalist for the 2005 Tewaaraton Trophy, which is annually bestowed upon the top men's and women's college lacrosse player.
McHenry's outstanding playing career led to a two-year stint with the United States national team, first with the U.S. Developmental Team in 2005-06, then with the US Elite Team in 2006-07.
“I am ready for the challenge,” McHenry added. “I have been extremely fortunate to be mentored by some of the best coaches in the game, from Kerstin Kimel at Duke, to Alison Valentino at Ohio, to Sue Murphy with the national team, to Betsy Economou at Davidson. These are all superior coaches, and they have all been tremendous role models for me.”
McHenry takes over a Bison program that finished 7-9 overall and 2-3 in the Patriot League last season. The team's top seven scorers are back from last year, including rising junior Bonnie Buechel, who earned First Team All-Patriot League honors after leading the squad with 49 points, 36 goals and 51 draw controls.
McHenry becomes the 11th head coach in Bucknell women's lacrosse history.
