Alice Lee | Head Coach

Williams College Athletic Director Lisa Melendy announced on May 23, 2017 that Alice Lee has been named the head coach of women's lacrosse at Williams.

Lee comes to Williams after coaching six years in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). The last two years Lee was an assistant coach at Middlebury College and the four years before Middlebury she was an assistant coach at Amherst College.

"I am quite pleased with the hiring of Alice Lee as the next head women's lacrosse coach at Williams," stated Melendy. "She comes to us with a distinguished coaching pedigree, having been an assistant at some of the top Division III programs in the country. The committee was impressed with her evident passion for coaching and the game of lacrosse, as well as her plan for beginning the next chapter of Williams women's lacrosse. It is clear that following coaching legend Chris Mason is a big job, but I believe Alice is up to the challenge and well positioned to do so. I would like to thank the search committee for their time and thoughtful consideration during this process."

"I am incredibly grateful to Lisa Melendy and the entire search committee for the opportunity to lead the Williams women's lacrosse program and I am honored to follow in the footsteps of Chris Mason," said Lee. "Chris has done an outstanding job of creating a highly competitive program, along with developing the many talented athletes who have adorned the purple and gold. I am excited to continue building upon that solid foundation and to connect with the Williams women's lacrosse family."

"Williams is a special place," added Lee. "It is invigorating to be a part of a vibrant community that is ever-evolving, and one that is actively committed to growth and innovation. I am eager to work within this framework and to grow with all members of the Williams College community."

While coaching at Middlebury (2015-17) Lee helped guide the Panthers to the 2016 NESCAC and NCAA titles and was named the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Association (IWLCA) Division III National Assistant Coach of the Year.
