Caitlin Fifield played an integral in Wagner’s historic 2014 season that saw the Seahawks match the school-record of 11 wins while making their first-ever appearance in the Northeast Conference Championship Game.
Embarking on her second year with the Seahawk program, Fifield has been given the added duties of recruiting coordinator.
"Over the past year, Caitlin has proven herself to be an invaluable resource and she absolutely deserves this promotion. She is a tireless worker and her effort helped our team break Wagner lacrosse records this year," said Frisoli. "Caitlin's recruiting success makes it an obvious choice to expand her responsibilities to include the title of Recruiting Coordinator and I look forward to working with her and bringing in some big talent."
A North Babylon, NY resident, Fifield recently completed one of the finest careers in University of Richmond women’s lacrosse history. As a fifth-year senior midfielder in 2013, she was named to the prestigious Tewaaraton Watch List (Tewaarton Trophy is given annually to the most outstanding American college player), and earned Atlantic 10 First-Team All-Conference honors while leading the Spiders with 72 points and 24 assists, to go with 48 goals which was second on the team.
An honor roll student who earned a degree in sociology in May, 2013, Fifield also had the distinction of being named to the 2013 Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team.
In addition to her outstanding playing career, Fifield brought a solid coaching foundation with her to the Wagner program as she has served as a club coach and college camp counselor since 2008. Over the last five years, Fifield has served as head coach of the Long Island Elite Yellow Jackets’ Club Team where she gained experience administering practices, coordinating the offense and organizing activities.
She has also served as a Youth Lacrosse Camp Counselor at several Division I summer camps throughout the nation, including Northwestern University, the University of Virginia, the University of Maryland, and Princeton University.
Fifield was also a First-Team All-Atlantic 10 choice in 2012, a Second-Team All-Atlantic 10 selection in 2011 and was a member of the 2009 All-Atlantic 10 Rookie Team, the same year that she was named to the 2009 Canadian Women’s Lacrosse active roster. She also finished fourth all-time in goals (174), seventh in assists (55), third in total points (229), ninth in single season points (72), and 10th in single season assists (24).
In the summer of 2012, Fifield earned a spot on the Canadian National Team’s Top 34 Roster. At North Babylon High School, Fifield was a two-time US Lacrosse All-American and two-time Academic All-American.
In addition to her duties with the Seahawk coaching staff, Fifield is pursuing a degree in education.
