Head Coach

Wilson is the fourth head coach in the women's lacrosse program's 15-year history. In four seasons as the Royals' head coach, she has led the team to four straight Landmark Conference playoff berths, including an appearance in the title game in 2016. In that season, Wilson led the Royals to an 11-7 overall record, matching the most wins for the program since 2005, when the team went 12-5. In her first season in 2013, she led the Royals to an 9-6 overall record and a berth in the Landmark Conference tournament. Scranton returned to the Landmark Conference tournament once again in 2014 and 2015. Wilson's efforts haven't gone unnoticed. She was voted Landmark Conference Co-Coach of the Year in 2013, sharing the award with Susquehanna's Laura Moan. Thirteen of Wilson's players have earned All-Landmark Conference honors, and five have been named All-Boardwalk Region by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA).   A 2009 graduate of Susquehanna University, Wilson came to Scranton after spending three seasons as assistant coach at Muhlenberg College in nearby Allentown, Pennsylvania. During her time with the Mules, Wilson assisted head coach Kristen Stuckel with daily coaching duties, as well as monitoring academic progress of student-athletes, recruiting prospective student-athletes, fundraising, game preparation and scouting opponents. The Mules posted 21 victories during Wilsons three years with the program as well as producing eight All-Centennial Conference players and two All-Metro region selections. She also served as interim head coach from August to November 2011, and in 2012 she also worked as the assistant to the strength and conditioning coach. Wilson, who has a bachelors degree in business administration from Susquehanna University and a masters degree in sports management from California University of Pennsylvania, was a four-year letter-winner (2006-09) for the Crusaders. She was a two-year captain (2008, 2009) and mainstay in the midfield, helping the Crusaders post 24 wins while finishing her career with 11 goals in 49 games played. A native of West Chester, Pennsylvania, Wilson was named second-team All-Landmark Conference in 2008, as well as Intercollegiate Womens Lacrosse Coaches Association NCAA Division III Academic Honor Roll recipient the same season. A certified lacrosse official since 2007, Wilson has also served as a club lacrosse coach in the Allentown area and has worked youth lacrosse camps there in recent years. She began her coaching career as a volunteer assistant coach at Midd-West High School in Middleburg, Pennsylvania. Recently, Cindy was named to the board of directors for the Intercolleigate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA).   Coaching Highlights Overall Record:  21-26 (.447) Landmark Conference Coach of the Year (1) 2013 (co-recipient) Landmark Conference selections (13) Erin Allen (1st team, 2016; 2nd team, 2014, 2015) Kailyn Angelo (1st team, 2015) Jilliana DePaolera (2nd team, 2013) Bridget Gallaher (2nd team, 2016) Meaghan Ginty (1st team, 2014) Shannon Ginty (2nd team, 2013) Deanna Giorno (2nd team, 2013) Emily Goss (1st team, 2013, 2015; 2nd team, 2014) Shannon Howe (1st team, 2013) Meghan Kerr (1st team, 2016; 2nd team, 2015) Kathleen Smart (2nd team, 2013) Kerry Sullivan (2nd team, 2013) Emily Towey (1st team, 2014) Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-Boardwalk Region selections (6) Erin Allen (2nd team, 2016) Jilliana DePaolera (2nd team, 2013) Deanna Giorno (2nd team, 2013) Emily Goss (2nd team, 2013, 2015) Meghan Kerr (1st team, 2016) Kathleen Smart (2nd team, 2013) University of Scranton All-Time Coaching Records
