Entering her second season as an assistant coach is 2009 Bentley graduate and former women’s lacrosse standout Alyssa Ritchie.

Ritchie finished her career as the most decorated player in program history. She holds all three of Bentley’s major career offensive records with 198 goals, 128 assists and 326 points. She also owns the single-season records for goals (66 in 2009), assists (47 in 2007) and points (93 in 2009), in addition to the second and third highest single-season scoring totals (92 points in 2007; 76 points in 2008).

“Her unique sense of attack and transition movement will be an asset to our coaching staff and provide us with a more well-rounded assessment of the team," said Medeiros.

Ritchie was named the first All-American in program history as a sophomore. Her other accolades include the Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year award as a senior, an IWLCA North All-Region first team selection as a sophomore and four first team All-Conference selections.
