Jen Adams Photo Gallery Innovative. Difference-Maker. Creative. Stellar. Spectacular: All words used to describe Jen Adams throughout her illustrious playing career on the collegiate and international levels. Those same adjectives hold true for her coaching and leadership styles as she enters her 18th season at the helm of the Loyola women's lacrosse program in 2026. She is a member of the USA Lacrosse Hall of Fame, the Chesapeake Chapter of USA Lacrosse Hall of Fame, the University of Maryland Athletics' Hall of Fame, and the Washington DC Sports Hall of Fame. In November 2025, she was a member of the Inaugural Lacrosse Australia Hall of Fame Class. At Loyola Adams was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year for the seventh time of her career in 2025, as she led the Greyhounds to the NCAA Tournament for the 13th time during her tenure at the helm. She led Loyola to their 11th-straight Patriot League regular season Championship, as they extended their regular season winning streak in Patriot League play to 93 games. She also coached Georgia Latch and Chase Boyle who combined to break the Loyola single-season points, assists, and draw control record this season, while Boyle broke the Loyola career record for goals and draws during the season.  Adams led the Greyhounds to their third straight season with at least 18 wins during the 2024 season, including another trip to the NCAA Tournament. Loyola won their eighth Patriot League Championship, as they extended their NCAA record for consecutive regular season conference games won to 84 games. Adams also coached Loyola's second Tewaaraton Award Finalist, Chase Boyle, who set program records for single-season goals and draw controls.  The Greyhounds had their second most wins in a season in 2023, trailing their win total in 2022 by just one game. They won their seventh Patriot League Championship, extended their NCAA record for consecutive conference games won to 75-straight, and recorded their second straight NCAA quarterfinals appearance. Adams became the programs all-time leader in wins, surpassing Diane Geppi-Aikens who won 197 games, during the 2023 season. She also surpassed the 200 career wins mark during the season.  Four players earned IWLCA All-America honors, highlighted by Jillian Wilson being named First-Team All-American, Katie Detwiler earned her third All-American honor, while Lauren Spence and Georgia Latch earned their first All-America honors. Wilson was also named the IWLCA Midfielder of the Year, becoming the programs first player to earn an IWLCA Positional Player of the Year award. Detwiler was named as the Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year.  The three-time IWLCA Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year has led Loyola to nine NCAA Championships appearances in the last 10 completed seasons dating back to 2010.  Led by Adams, the Greyhounds had one of their finest seasons in history during 2022, winning school-record in wins and a 20-2 overall record, a sixth Patriot League Championship, an NCAA record for consecutive conference games won at 66-straight, and their first trip to the NCAA quarterfinals since 2015. Katie Detwiler was named a First-Team All-American by the IWLCA, Livy Rosenzweig became the program's first-ever four-time IWLCA All-American, and Jillian Wilson joined them on the All-America teams. Elli Klugel was named the Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the conference's overall Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She was also named the IWLCA Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The 2021 season was highlighted by a 12-game winning streak, tied for the sixth longest in program history, a fifth Patriot League championship and a return trip to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Rosenzweig became the program’s all-time scoring leader and the Patriot League’s all-time assist leader, and she and teammate Detwiler were both honored as IWLCA Second Team All-America honorees.  The Greyhounds maintained their academic excellence as well, with Kluegel announced as the Patriot League Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the team combining for an impressive 3.76 GPA during the 2020-21 academic year. Kluegel became the program’s fifth Patriot League Women’s Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year in the last six completed seasons.

Included in the win total were victories over #24 Johns Hopkins (16-7), #4 Florida (17-6), #19 Penn State (22-12) and #9 Penn (19-15). Since coming to Loyola, Adams has directed a resurgence of the program back to national prominence. Inheriting a squad that posted a 6-10 record in 2008, Adams turned that into an 11-6 mark in 2009 and an 11-7 record in 2010. Her 2011 squad won its first of two-straight BIG EAST Championships, returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004 and tied a school record for wins in a season, posting a 17-3 record. Her 2015 squad tied that record with a 17-5 mark and won a second-straight Patriot League title, while the 2016 team gave Adams five conference championships in six years, as it won its third-consecutive Patriot League Championship. In conference play, Adams’ squads have dominated. Between five seasons in the Big East and 10 in the Patriot League, her teams have gone 102-12. The Greyhounds have an unblemished 76-0 record in Patriot League play with nine-straight regular-season titles.

Her Greyhounds have also claimed nine league tournament titles – back-to-back BIG EAST Championships (2011, 2012) and seven Patriot League titles (2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023). The BIG EAST title in 2011 was the first for the program, while 2014 win was the school’s first-ever Patriot League Championship, a League it joined for the 2013-14 school year.  Nationally, 12 of Adams’ squads have began the season ranked in the top-15 of the IWLCA Preseason Coaches Poll, while Loyola's stretch of four-straight years ranked in the preseason top-10 made the Greyhounds one of just seven programs in the NCAA to be ranked among the nation’s top-10 teams from 2012-15.  As a member of the BIG EAST Conference, Adams picked up co-BIG EAST Coach of the Year honors in 2011 and led the Greyhounds to back-to-back BIG EAST Tournament titles, a 27-12 record in conference games and a 4-2 mark in tournament action.

Paton and Gallagher also became the program’s first pair of first-team All-Americans since 2003 that year. Adams didn’t miss a beat in transitioning to the Patriot League in 2014. Tabbed as the League’s preseason favorite each of her first eight years, Adams has been named the League’s Coach of the Year five times (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) and brought 17 major awards to the Greyhounds, including three-straight Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year accolades to Maddy Lesher.  Adams has coached 34 IWLCA All-Americans and one Tewaaraton Award finalist.
