Katie Arsenault
Katie Arsenault couldn't have asked for a better first season as head coach of the Keene State women's lacrosse team. In addition to claiming its first-ever Little East crown and NCAA berth, the Owls established program records for consecutive wins (eight) and LEC victories in a season (five), while also setting enough school marks to fill the nets at Owl Athletic Complex.
Arsenault, a native of Wayland, Mass., brought a strong playing and coaching background to her position. Prior to joining the KSC program, she spent two seasons as an assistant at her alma mater, Colby-Sawyer College. Arsenault was a three-time All-Conference defender for the Chargers. Arsenault also played four varsity seasons at Wayland (Mass.) High School where she was selected as a conference All-Star and defensive MVP as a senior.
Setting about the task of putting her stamp on the program, Arsenault looks to buid on last season's success and establish the Owls as perennial contenders for the conference championship.
A valuable assistant with the Keene State women’s basketball team the past two years, Megan Lane moves from the court to the field this spring, serving in the same capacity with the Owl women’s lacrosse team.
A former four-year player for the Owl basketball team and senior team captain, Lane will concentrate on conditioning and administrative duties with the team.
A hard-working member of the KSC women’s basketball team from 2002-06, Lane was a role model for her teammates with her perseverance and love of the game and was named team captain her senior season. In 2005, she was also named a Strength and Conditioning All-American by Keene State College Strength and Conditioning Coach Sarah Testo.
Lane served as a student assistant coach in 2006-07 while completing her degree in history/secondary education. In 2007-08, she went to Springfield College and received her Master's degree in athletic administration and assisting with the women's basketball team.

she was a 1,000-point scorer and an all-county and league player as
a senior.
