"I am incredibly humbled by the opportunity to lead Columbia's Women's Lacrosse Program.  A special thank you to Director of Athletics, Peter Pilling, Associate Athletic Director, Matthew Scally, and the rest of the search committee for their support through the process, Cofrin said.    The moment I stepped on campus I was greeted with open arms and loved the unprecedented support and passion shown by the administration, alumnae, and players.  I'm looking forward to elevating the program to the next level and showing prospective student-athletes and parents all that Columbia University and New York City have to offer. " In 2013-14, Cofrin led Saint Anselm to a 13-4 record, the best in program history. The Hawks were ranked No. 9 in Division II, marking their first top-10 appearance. The team had one All-American, two first team NE-10 honorees, the Saint Anselm Female Athlete of the Year and an inductee into the Chi Alpha Sigma National Student-Athlete Honor Society.
