Taylor Wray was named the James H. Greene, Jr. Head Coach of Men’s Lacrosse at Penn on July 11, 2025.   Wray came to Penn from Saint Joseph’s University, where he was an eight-time conference Coach of the Year and the winningest men’s lacrosse coach in program history. Wray led the Hawks to eight regular-season conference championships in 14 seasons and the program’s first NCAA Championship appearances. He enters his Penn tenure with an overall career record of 127-79 (.616 win percentage) and a 57-21 (.764) record in conference play.   Wray took over a program on Hawk Hill that was winless the year before he arrived. By his third season, Saint Joseph’s was 11-4 and won the Northeast Conference regular-season championship with a 6-0 record. That 2014 season began a three-year stretch where SJU won three consecutive NEC regular-season titles with a combined record of 17-1.   The Hawks won the NEC regular-season title again in 2018, then from 2021-24 won 25 consecutive conference games en route to four regular-season titles—two in the NEC and two in the Atlantic 10. In 2022 and 2024, St. Joe’s also won the postseason conference tournament and qualified for the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship for the first two times in program history.   During his last five seasons at Saint Joseph’s, Wray led the Hawks to a 54-23 record (.701 winning percentage) and a 30-3 mark (.909) in conference play.   Wray recruited and coached the first 10 All-Americans in SJU program history, as well as 76 all-conference selections, three conference Offensive Players of the Year, three conference Defensive Players of the Year, four conference Rookies of the Year, four conference Scholar Athletes of the Year, and two conference Players of the Year.   Wray’s leadership made an impact off the field as well. He helped fundraise $2 million for facility and locker room improvements, set an all-time team high for cumulative GPA, and coached 14 USILA Scholar All-Americans. He was the IMLCA league representative for the NEC from 2017-22 and a member of the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee in 2017 and 2019.   From 2007-11, Wray was an assistant coach at Lehigh, serving as the defensive and recruiting coordinator. He helped recruit Lehigh’s first-ever top 20 recruiting class and was instrumental in building the team that went on to win the 2012 and 2013 Patriot League championships. He began his coaching career at Queens University in Charlotte, N.C. as a graduate assistant coach, helping the team improve from 3-7 his first year to 9-5 his third year in 2006.   Wray has also served as a head coach and assistant coach for Team Canada from 2010-23. He was the senior men’s co-head coach in 2023 and its defensive coordinator in 2010, 2014 and 2018. Wray was Canada’s U20 head coach in 2012 and 2016 and defensive coordinator in 2022.   The Edmonton, Alberta native was a four-year letter winner and team captain at Duke, earning team Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2003. He helped the Blue Devils to three NCAA Championship appearances and two ACC titles as a player.   Following graduation, Wray embarked on a professional career in the National Lacrosse League with the Calgary Roughnecks (2004-06) and Philadelphia Wings (2007-11). He was named the 2004 NLL Rookie of the Year and the Defensive Player of the Year, helping Calgary to a league title. He was also an NLL All-Star from 2006-08. In addition, Wray was a member of the Canadian National Team, helping win the International Lacrosse Federation Outdoor World Championship in 2006 and Indoor Championship in 2007.   Wray earned his bachelor’s degree from Duke in 2003 in biological anthropology and anatomy and a master of arts in teaching from Queens in 2006.    

Dr. Krissy Turner was named the Douglas N. Brush Head Coach of Women’s Soccer in June of 2022. In her third season as head coach in 2024, the Quakers limited the opposition to one or fewer goals in 10 out of 16 matches, collecting six draws on the year. The Red and Blue earned their ties against Northern Arizona (1-1), Delaware (1-1), Towson (1-1), Yale (2-2), Brown (0-0), and Dartmouth (0-0), with a pair of victories over Temple (4-0) and Cornell (1-0).

The Red and Blue picked up six victories and three draws. The Quakers opened the season with a pair of wins, downing American, 1-0, on August 25 and Delaware, 1-0, on August 27. Turner earned her first conference victory with a 2-1 win over Cornell on October 28. Fontenot became women soccer’s first First-Team All-Ivy selection since 2018, leading the Penn defense to its solid performance throughout the season, while garnering CSC Academic All-District distinction. In addition, Maya Leschly was the Quakers’ Academic All-Ivy selection. In her first season as head coach in 2022, the Quakers set a new single-season program record for draws with seven, adding three victories. Turner earned her first victory at Penn with a 2-1 win against Lehigh on September 4. Three players—Sizzy Lawton (second team), Ginger Fontenot (second) and Laurence Gladu (honorable mention)—earned All-Ivy honors. In addition, Fontenot was also Penn's Academic All-Ivy representative. Turner came to Penn from Monmouth University, where she led the women’s soccer program to Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) regular-season championships in eight of her final nine seasons. Overall, she was head coach of the Hawks for 24 years, winning ten conference regular-season championships and eight conference tournament titles in the Northeast Conference (NEC) and the MAAC. Her career record at Monmouth was 282-130-43 (.619) that included a 164-43-20 (.722) mark in conference play, and the Hawks advanced to the NCAA College Cup Championship eight times during her tenure.   Under Turner, Monmouth dominated the MAAC after joining the league in 2013, winning the regular season each year except for the COVID-disrupted 2020-21 season and compiling a remarkable 66-5-5 (.921) record in MAAC play that included 48 shutout victories.   In 2021, Monmouth recorded a 15-5-1 record that included an 8-1-1 mark in the MAAC, winning the regular season and tournament titles and reaching the NCAA College Cup Championship for the fourth time in five years.   A nine-time conference coach of the year, Turner led her Monmouth teams to 15 consecutive winning seasons and 21 overall. She coached 156 all-conference selections, 31 conference major award winners, and 33 United Soccer Coaches (USC) All-Region selections. Her teams also received NSCAA/USC Team Academic Awards in 23 straight seasons.   Turner’s coaching resume also includes stints as the head coach at Lafayette (1996-98) and as an assistant coach at The College of New Jersey (1993-95), where she helped lead the Lions to two NCAA Division III national championships.   Turner earned her degree in elementary education from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in 1993 and a master’s degree in education from TCNJ in 1995. In 2018, she earned her Ph.D. in psychology from Grand Canyon University. As a player, Turner was a two-year team captain for the Lions, earning All-America honors as a senior and twice receiving All-Northeast Region accolades. She began her career at the University of Rhode Island, where she was named the 1988 URI Rookie of the Year and the 1989 team Most Valuable Player for the Rams. Turner, who owns a United States Soccer Federation "A" license, has been involved in training youth teams throughout New Jersey for the past 20 years and as an assistant coach and head coach in the New Jersey State Girls Olympic Development Program (ODP) for the past 20 years. As a head coach, Turner guided teams to regional championships eight times, reaching the national final in 2008, 2011 and 2012.   Turner is married to Bob Turner, a former longtime assistant women’s soccer coach at TCNJ.    

An Ivy Classic champion as a student-athlete, assistant coach, and head coach at Penn, Kirsten (Strausbaugh) Becker C'13 was promoted to the women's gymnastics head coaching position in May 2020 after serving five years as the program's assistant coach. In four seasons at the helm, Becker has led the Quakers to four consecutive Gymnastics East Conference (GEC) Regular Season and Championship team titles from 2022-25 and won back-to-back Ivy Classic titles in 2024 and 2025. The Quakers repeated the “treble” in Becker’s fourth season as head coach, winning their fourth-straight GEC Regular Season and GEC Championships title and repeating as Ivy Classic champions for the first time since 2012. Penn saw two gymnasts qualify for NCAA Regionals (Mimi Fletcher on beam; Skyelar Kerico on all-around) with Fletcher being the first freshman since 1991 to compete at NCAA’s. Under Becker’s guidance, Kerico experienced one of the greatest seasons in Penn gymnastics history. The junior repeated as GEC Gymnast of the Year and won GEC Co-Performance of the Year for her record-breaking 9.925 on vault against West Virginia (3/14). She took home three GEC titles (vault, bars and all-around) and two Ivy Classic titles (bars and all-around). Kerico also set a new school and Ivy League record in the all-around with a 39.450 at the NCAA Regionals (4/3). Jordan Barrow also saw huge success in her second season in University City, winning a GEC title (beam) and repeating as the Ivy Classic champion on vault. Overall, the Quakers had a program-record 17 first-team All-GEC selections in 2025 with 21 total honorees. As a team, Penn finished with its highest end-of-year ranking at No. 45. Becker was named GEC Coach of the Year for the second time in three years. Penn completed the "treble" in Becker's third season as head coach, taking care of business as GEC Regular Season and Championship champions, along with the Ivy Classic. With Becker in charge, Skyelar Kerico was named GEC Gymnast of the Year after claiming two GEC titles in beam and all-around, becoming the first Quaker since Becker in 2012 to achieve it. There were a program-record 14 first-team All-GEC selections in 2024 and 21 total, the most in program history. The Quakers finished with the best final national qualifying score (NQS) in program history with a 195.645. Becker also coached four Ivy Classic champions including Jordan Barrow (vault), Sara Kenefick (vault), Kerico (all-around) and Samantha Wu (beam). In addition to her several accolades, Kerico broke a 12-year-old program record for all-around score with a 39.325 at the Ivy Classic.  Her second season in charge, Becker led Penn back to the top with its second straight GEC Regular Season and Championship team titles. Under her guidance, McCaleigh Marr was named GEC Co-Specialist of the Year and freshman Marissa Lassiter earned GEC Newcomer of the Year honors. Two individual program records were set during the season as Campbell Marr scored a 9.900 on vault at Temple while Campbell and McCaleigh Marr notched twin scores of 9.950 on balance beam at Temple. Six Quakers earned a total of nine first-team All-GEC honors while seven earned eight second-team laurels. While Penn took second in the Ivy Classic for the second straight year, McCaleigh Marr won the Ivy Classic title on balance beam. Becker was named GEC Coach of the Year for the first time, while assistants Casey Rohrbaugh and Cassie Hageman were named GEC Assistant Coaches of the Year. Becker's first season as head coach was certainly a successful one, as the Quakers won both the regular-season and Championship team titles in the inaugural season of the Gymnastic East Conference (GEC) and McCaleigh Marr was an individual qualifier on the balance beam at the NCAA Regional in Norman, Okla. The team also set a pair of program scoring records, scoring 194.775 in a dual with Ursinus on February 20 and posting its best score on the road three separate times with a 195.375 at Towson on February 13, a 196.225 at Maryland on March 13, and finally a 196.950 six days later at the GEC Championships. Individually, three program records were tied during the season. Marr twice tied a 22-year-old record on the beam by scoring 9.950 at Towson on February 13 and again at the GEC Championships on March 19. Marr also posted the second-best score in program history in the bars at the GEC Championships. Sara Kenefick tied a 21-year-old mark on the floor exercise at the GECs (9.975). Finally, Ariyana Agarwala tied the program's 10-year-old record for vault score at the Maryland Quad on March 13 (9.900). Marr and Kenefick won the beam and floor at GECs, respectively, and Penn compiled eight first-team and nine second-team honors at the inaugural Championships. During her five years as an assistant coach, Becker helped lead the Quakers to the 2020 Ivy Classic title and their highest team score in program history in 2019. As an assistant coach, Becker mentored 20 All-ECAC gymnasts, six ECAC Scholar-Athletes, four ECAC individual champions, and three Ivy Classic champions and helped Penn win the 2020 Ivy Classic with the second-best score in program history (194.850). In 2020, Penn freshmen were named ECAC Co-Specialist of the Year (McCaleigh Marr) and ECAC Co-Rookie of the Year (Rebekah Lashley), both firsts for the program. In 2019, the Red and Blue compiled its best National Qualifying Score (NQS) ever with a 195.075 at Maryland, breaking a 15-year old record. As the program's beam and floor exercise coach, Becker led the Quakers to their best beam score in program history (49.125) and in 2018 coached the program's first NCAA Regional qualifier in five years in Alex Hartke. A decorated collegiate gymnast for Penn, the former Kirsten Strausbaugh was a two-time team captain and the 2013 ECAC Gymnast of the Year. A two-time NCAA Regional qualifier, she helped the Quakers to two ECAC championships and two Ivy Classic titles. Strausbaugh was the 2013 USA Gymnastics Collegiate Nationals Uneven Bars champion and was Penn's nominee for the prestigious NCAA Woman of the Year Award as a senior. A 2013 Penn graduate with a degree in communication, she is currently pursuing a master's in organizational dynamics from the University. She is married to former Penn quarterback Ryan Becker W'13 and they have two sons, Drew and Eli.

The Quakers have won 12 Ivy League championships over the past 16 seasons and, after making 13 straight trips to the NCAA Championship prior to the pandemic, picked up where they left off with selections in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The run since 2007 includes an appearance in the championship game in 2008, two other semifinal appearances (2007, 2009), and four other quarterfinal runs (2010, 2016, 2024, 2025) as Brower's teams have established themselves as a perennial Ivy League and national power. The pinnacle of Brower's tenure was that 2008 season when the Quakers not only were NCAA finalists but also spent a number of weeks ranked No. 1 in the country after defeating Northwestern during the regular season. Brower, who took over a team that won only one game the year before she arrived, is Penn's all-time winningest coach with 281 wins and, following the 2025 season, boasts a .663 win percentage across her tenure with the Quakers (281-143). As part of her all-time record in Ivy League regular-season play at Penn (123-45), Brower is 102-17 (.857) since the 2007 season. That includes 36 straight wins from 2006-11, tied for the longest win streak in league history with Harvard (1987-93). Brower's 123 regular-season Ivy League wins places her second in conference history, behind only Chris Sailer (183 at Princeton from 1987-2022). In addition, Brower's 12 Ivy League titles are second all-time behind Sailer (16), but her seven outright titles are behind only Harvard’s Carole Kleinfelder (9 from 1980-2003). The 2025 season proved to be an exciting one for the Quakers, who went 12-7 and advanced to the NCAA Championship quarterfinal round before losing at three-seeded Northwestern. Anna Brandt, Natasha Gorriaran, and Orly Sedransk all earned All-America recognition from the IWLCA, with Brandt earning as Ivy League Midfielder of the Year, Gorriaran landing Defender of the Year, and Sedransk garnering Rookie and Goalkeeper of the Year. The year was highlighted by five ranked wins over #16 Loyola Maryland (12-10), #7 Maryland (13-12), #5 Princeton (15-12), #18 Brown (11-7), and the #6 Terps in the NCAA second round in double-overtime (11-10). The 2024 season was another special one for the Quakers, who went 15-5 and advanced to the NCAA Championship quarterfinal round before losing at top-seeded Northwestern. Izzy Rohr, Niki Miles and Anna Brandt all earned All-America recognition from the IWLCA, with Rohr repeating as Ivy League Defender of the Year and all three earning unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection. Penn's offense scored 252 goals, the defense finished 14th nationally allowing just 9.15 goals per game, and the Quakers played in an Ivy League-record 10th final at the Ivy League Tournament, falling in overtime to top-seeded and tourney host Yale. Penn showed why it should be considered a threat in 2023, putting together a 14-5 record, rolling a clean sweep through the Ivy League at 7-0 and adding two more wins in the Ivy League tournament to win the title, and booking a trip to the NCAA championships for the 16th time in program history. The Quakers topped UConn in the first round, 13-8, before falling to Boston College on the Eagles' home turf, 9-7, in the second round. The Eagles went on to the national championship game. The 2023 roster, coming back in nearly full force for 2024, set the program record for goals in a season (268), most goals per game in a season (14.11), and finished in the IWLCA ranking at No. 13. Niki Miles flexed her offensive muscles in the season, setting the program record in goals with 63, while Anna Brandt came in at fourth with 58. The Quakers raked in postseason awards for their efforts including a clean sweep of the Ivy League major awards: Miles as the unanimous Attacker of the Year, Brandt as the Midfielder of the Year, Izzy Rohr as the unanimous Defender of the Year, and Corbitt as the unanimous Coach of the Year. Penn had 10 Quakers make All-Ivy, while Miles, Brandt and Rohr all earned spots on IWLCA All-Region.  The Quakers were back to full competition in 2022 following two years of sidelined seasons due to the coronavirus pandemic. The team won six games including a one-goal victory over No. 24 Drexel. The Quakers earned six All-Ivy honors led by Ellen O'Callaghan, who garnered first team accolades before being named to IWLCA All-Region and an Inside Lacrosse Media All-American. The 2020 season was uncharted territory for the entire college sports world, as all Spring sports were cut short due to the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the Ivy League canceled all spring sports across the conference, bringing the Quakers' season to a close with a 4-1 record. In the top-10 for most of the season, they concluded the final rankings at No. 10 in the IWLCA poll. Brower had a strong squad through the first five games, including two Tewaaraton Award watch list honorees in seniors Gabby Rosenzweig and Erin Barry. Rosenzweig, who already had a decorated career for Penn, became the program's career points record holder in the second game of the season against Johns Hopkins University. The pandemic carried over into the 2021 season, limiting the Quakers to one game in which they defeated La Salle, 16-11. The final goal of the game solidified senior captain Zoe Belodeau's 100th career finish to solidify a six-point performance.  Penn earned its 13th-straight trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2019, the fifth longest active streak in the country, amassing 12 wins and a runner-up showing in the Ivy League Tournament. Junior All-American Gabby Rosenzweig paced a Penn offense that finished with 224 goals, setting the program record with 98 points on the year, including a single-season record 63 assists. Erin Barry, the Ivy League Midfielder of the Year, joined Rosenzweig with All-American honors, as each were named unanimous first-team All-Ivy, in addition to six other Quakers. Penn defeated four top-25 teams, while boasting six one-goal victories.  The Quakers won their 11th Ivy League title in 2018, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a dramatic overtime victory over Penn State. Brower's team set a program record for goal in a season with 261, besting the previous mark by 38 goals. A balanced group of senior leaders and underclass catalysts made the Red and Blue a dynamic attack as four players had more than 35 goals – led by sophomore All-American Gabby Rosenzweig who tied the program record for points in a season with 85. Fellow All-American Erin Barry became just the third player in program history to score 50 goals in a season, finishing with 51. Rookie Zoe Belodeau set the Penn single season record – and established a new Ivy League rookie record with 103 draw controls. In addition, she set new Penn records for goals (45), assists (35) and points (80) by a rookie. Brower's team held true to its defensive roots, with senior Natalie Stefan earning Ivy League Defender of the Year honors to lead nine All-Ivy selections. In 2017, Brower coached her 10th Ivy League championship team, and guided her squad to the NCAA Tournament for the 11th consecutive season. Her team defeated four Top-20 opponents, including a 17-12 defeat of No. 6 Princeton at Franklin Field. Brower coached five All-Ivy selections in 2017, including Alex Condon who earned Ivy League Midfielder of the Year honors. Condon would also earn second-team All-American honors, joined by Katy Junior who was a third-team All-American. The 2016 season saw Brower and the Quakers return to the NCAA Quarterfinals -- playing a program record 20 games and compiling a 15-5 record. Brower won her ninth Ivy League title with a 6-1 record inside the Ancient Eight, and her team defeated four Top-20 teams. Brower has redefined the Red and Blue, building a team that can score and defend, At the conclusion of the 2016 season, Brower saw attacker Nina Corcoran named Ivy League Attacker of the Year following a season where she set both Penn and Ivy League records in assists for a season and a career. Three of Penn's attackers were named first-team All-Ivy, while the Quakers continued to be among the Top-15 in terms of scoring defense. In 2015, Brower guided the Quakers to a 14-5 overall record and a ninth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. The Quakers won a game in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in those nine years, defeating Albany in overtime, 11-10.  The Red and Blue had one of their finest offensive seasons in program history in 2015, scoring 199 goals which ranked fourth all-time at Penn at the end of the season. Tory Bensen became the program’s first Ivy League Attacker of the Year, scoring 58 goals which tied the single-season Penn record. Bensen was named second-team All-American, one of three Penn players named All-American -- the second-most in a single season under Brower. Defensively, Meg Markham repeated as a first-team All-American and as Ivy League Defender of the Year -- just the second Quaker in program history to repeat as a first-team All-American and the first to repeat as an Ivy League yearly award winner. Lucy Ferguson was named first-team All-Ivy at goalkeeper for the third consecutive season and earned her first career All-American honor with a second team selection. The 2014 season saw Brower's Quakers do something no Ivy League women's lacrosse program had ever done -- win an eighth consecutive Ivy League championship. The Quakers went 6-1 in Ancient Eight play, never allowing more than nine goals in a game, to share the League crown and set a new record for conference supremacy in the process. Brower placed seven of her players on the All-Ivy team, including her first Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year in Meg Markham. The Quakers would play in 18 games during 2014 -- the third most by any Penn team -- and win 13 of them -- fifth-most in school history. In early May, the Quakers made some more history, winning their third Ivy League Tournament championship and first away from Philadelphia with a win over host Princeton in the championship game. That win secured an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, making it eight consecutive years with a national tournament appearance for the Quakers. In 2013, Brower guided her team to a seventh consecutive Ivy League championship with her fifth undefeated Ivy League slate since 2007. The seven consecutive conference championships was the current longest streak of regular season championships in NCAA Division I and are the most ever by any Penn women's program. Success in clutch situations was the hallmark of Brower's Quakers in 2013, the Red and Blue setting a program record with a 4-0 mark in overtime games. Three Penn players were named unanimous first-team All-Ivy, including Shannon Mangini who earned the first-ever Ivy League Midfielder of the Year award. 2012 saw Brower add her sixth Ivy title in dramatic fashion with a win at Princeton to claim outright possession of the Ancient Eight crown negate any thoughts of a five-way share. Brower graduated the program's second-leading all-time scorer, Erin Brennan, who totaled 213 points over her four seasons. The Red and Blue were an at-large selection to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history. In 2010, Brower made history when Penn won the first Ivy League Tournament. In the process, the Red and Blue earned their fourth automatic berth to the NCAA Championships in a row. In the NCAAs, Brower's team won its first round game once again before falling in the quarterfinals to eventual champion Maryland. During the 2010 season, Penn set a record for goals scored in a season with 223. In fact, from 2007-10, Brower helped Penn shatter virtually every program record on the books, including wins in a season (17), consecutive wins (15), highest national ranking (1) and goals in a season (223). The 2010 campaign saw one of Brower's players re-write the record books as Ali DeLuca became Penn's first Tewaaraton Award finalist. DeLuca became Penn's all-time leading goal scorer with 148 career tallies and set a season-record for points with 76. DeLuca was named unanimous Ivy Player of the Year, the third in Brower's tenure in West Philadelphia. From 2007-09, Brower and the Quakers announced their presence on the national stage with three consecutive appearances in the national semifinals. Named the 2007 National Coach of the Year by multiple organizations, Brower led the Quakers to an unforgettable '07 season that saw Penn win its first Ivy League title since 1982 -- and the program's first-ever outright crown. The Red and Blue would win two games in the NCAA Tournament, advancing to play in the NCAA semifinals for the first time ever -- a game held at Franklin Field. Brower followed 2007 with another outright Ivy title and trip to the NCAA tournament in 2008, this time advancing to the program's first championship game where Penn was edged by Northwestern, 10-6. During the 2008 season, the Quakers won a program-best 15 consecutive games, including a win over No. 1 Northwestern at Franklin Field which vaulted the Red and Blue to No. 1 for the first time. In 2009, Brower again had her team in the national semifinals, where the Red and Blue came one goal short in a double-overtime classic against top-seeded Northwestern after rallying from four goals down in the final seven minutes. The Quakers won their first 13 games of the season, extending their regular-season win streak to 25 before a loss to the Wildcats in Evanston. The 2006 season was a precursor to success as she led the Quakers to a 10-6 record, the program's first 10-win season since 1982. Penn beat three teams ranked in the national top-20 and finished the season ranked 20th in the IWLCA poll for the first time since 1996. Five members of her team were named All-Ivy while four were tabbed as All-Region. The 2004-05 seasons saw Brower's team post back-to-back winning records, the first time Penn accomplished that feat since 1984-85. The 9-7 mark for the 2004 squad was the first winning season for Penn since 1994, and the 4-3 mark in Ivy play put Penn above .500 in Ancient Eight competition for the first time since 1988.   Prior to coming to Penn, Brower was an assistant coach at Princeton University from 1996-98 where she was instrumental in all aspects of the Tigers' nationally-ranked lacrosse program, with a particular emphasis on recruiting. She organized clinics for high schoolers and was the assistant director of both the Princeton Tiger Camp and the Princeton Elite Camp.   Brower began her coaching career as an assistant at Rutgers University, before serving as an assistant at Villanova University for a year.

Since joining the coaching staff, Whitaker has been a part of eight Ivy League championship teams, three Ivy League Tournament championship teams, and 11 NCAA Championship appearances including quarterfinal runs in 2016 and 2024. Working primarily with the attack, Whitaker has guided Penn players to 15 of the top 23 single-season goal-scoring marks in program history since arriving at Penn in 2011. The Quakers have posted the top-three goal-scoring marks in program history as a team in 2018, 2019 and 2023, including a record 268 in 2023. Offensively, Gabby Rosenzweig set the single-season Penn record in both points (98) and assists (63) in 2019, while she was joined by midfielder Erin Barry as an IWLCA All-American. Rosenzweig followed up in 2020 as the program's career-points record holder (247). In 2023, Niki Miles set the single-season Penn record for goals (63), earning her first-team IWLCA All-Region and making her a unanimous pick by the coaches as Ivy League Attacker of the Year. Miles then repeated as first-team IWLCA All-Region in 2024 and also was second-team IWLCA All-America in addition to earning honorable mention All-America recognition from both Inside Lacrosse and USA Lacrosse Magazine for the second straight season. Penn's 2024 season was a special one, the Quakers scored 252 goals en route to a 15-5 record, a ranking as high as No. 5 by the IWLCA, and a run to the NCAA quarterfinal round. Anna Brandt and Niki Miles scored 60 and 54 goals, respectively, numbers that were second and fifth on the program's single-season list, while Erika Chung dished out 52 assists which is third on the program's single-season chart. At the Ivy League Tournament, Brandt set ILT records for goals in a game (8 in a semifinal win over Princeton) and a tournament (12), while Chung set ILT marks for assists in a game (6 vs. Princeton) and a tournament (9). Penn showed why it should be considered a threat in 2023, putting together a 14-5 record, rolling a clean sweep through the Ivy League at 7-0 and adding two more wins in the Ivy League tournament to win the title, and booking a trip to the NCAA championships for the 16th time in program history. The Quakers topped UConn in the first round, 13-8, before falling to Boston College on the Eagles' home turf, 9-7, in the second round. The Eagles went on to the national championship game. The 2023 roster, coming back in nearly full force for 2024, set the program record for goals in a season (268), most goals per game in a season (14.11), and finished in the IWLCA ranking at No. 13. Niki Miles flexed her offensive muscles in the season, setting the program record in goals with 63, while Anna Brandt came in at fourth with 58. The Quakers raked in postseason awards for their efforts including a clean sweep of the Ivy League major awards: Miles as the unanimous Attacker of the Year, Brandt as the Midfielder of the Year, Izzy Rohr as the unanimous Defender of the Year, and Corbitt as the unanimous Coach of the Year.

The Quakers earned six All-Ivy honors led by Ellen O'Callaghan, who garnered first team accolades before being named to IWLCA All-Region and an Inside Lacrosse Media All-American. The 2020 season was unchartered territory for the entire college sports world, as all Spring sports were cut short due to the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the Ivy League canceled all spring sports across the conference, bringing the Quakers' season to a close with a 4-1 record. Through those five games, the offensive produced 69 goals and 30 assists.  The pandemic carried into the 2021 season, limiting the Quakers to just one game in which they defeated La Salle, 16-11. In 2018, All-American Gabby Rosenzweig tied the program record with 85 points, while freshman Zoe Belodeau set a new program record for goals (45), assists (35) and points (80) in a season by a rookie. 2018 produced three of the top goal-scoring seasons in program history, led by All-American Erin Barry whose 51 goals were third-most ever in a season by a Quaker. Five of Penn’s nine All-Ivy selections in 2018 played key roles in the attacking unit. In 2017, Whitaker worked with a pair of All-Ivy attackers in first-team All-Ivy selection Emily Rogers-Healion and second-team All-Ivy choice Caroline Cummings. The 2016 season saw the Quakers post one of the most dangerous attack groups in the nation led by Nina Corcoran - who set Penn and Ivy League records for assists (58) in a season while also setting a new Penn record for points in a single season with 85 en route to a Tewaaraton Award nomination, second-team All-American honors, and an Ivy League Attacker of the Year selection. In 2015, Whitaker worked with Penn's dynamic duo of Tory Bensen (64 points) and Nina Corcoran (61 points) who posted the fifth and sixth highest single-season point totals in program history. Bensen's 58 goals in 2015 tied Penn's single-season record while Corcoran's 40 assists at the time set a new program record. Whitaker coached her first Ivy League Attacker of the Year during 2015 in Tory Bensen. Bensen also became the second offensive player to earn All-American honors under Whitaker with her second team selection, joining Erin Brennan (2011). Whitaker has had four members of her attacking group named IWLCA All-American, 11 members of Penn's attacking unit named All-Region and 26 named All-Ivy. Prior to her time at Penn, Whitaker most recently served as head coach at Columbia University from 2002-10, where she led the Lions to a 52-68 record including the program's first-ever winning season in 2009. While leading the Lions, Whitaker coached 21 All-Ivy players and all nine All-Region performers in Columbia history. A glance at Columbia's 100+ point list shows ten players - all of whom played under Whitaker in the Big Apple. Whitaker is familiar with the Ivy League, graduating from Brown in 1996 after an All-America campaign with the Bears in '96. She was twice named All-Ivy and achieved Academic All-Ivy honors in her senior season.
