University of Richmond Women's Lacrosse

Kwolek, an Annandale, Virginia native, returned to her home state after spending two years as an assistant at Dartmouth College. While in New Hampshire, she helped guide the Big Green to back-to-back NCAA appearances in 2011 and 2012. The back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament were the first for Dartmouth since 2005 and 2006. She also helped guide Dartmouth to the schools first-ever Ivy League Tournament title in 2012. Kwolek coached 12 All-Ivy honorees in her two seasons at Dartmouth, including two Player of the Years (2011, 2012) and one Rookie of the Year. Additionally, she cultivated 10 IWLCA All-Region honorees and four All-Americans. In 2012, she helped lead the Big Green to five wins over top-20 opponents. Defense was an integral part of her coaching focus as Dartmouth was ranked 16th in the country, 1st in the Ivy League in that area. Prior to Dartmouth, she was the top assistant coach at Columbia while earning her masters degree in sports management. She was primarily responsible for the defense and midfield players, mentoring two All-Ivy honorees. Before Columbia, Kwolek spent two seasons as an assistant coach at her alma mater, William & Mary. While there, the Tribe won the 2009 CAA regular season title, achieved a top-20 ranking and set single-season records for goals and points. She was a standout midfielder for the Tribe, earning All-CAA honors twice in her career (2002, 2003). She was elected captain as a senior, and finished her stellar collegiate career with 116 points. In 2006, Evans was named to the prestigious US National Elite Team and also served as a coach's trainer for the US Lacrosse organization. Kwolek earned her master's degree in sports management from Columbia in 2012 and graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology from William & Mary in 2003. She married her husband Mark in Williamsburg in December of 2014. They reside in Richmond.
