WALTHAM, Mass. – Erin Seibel has been named Bentley's new women's lacrosse head coach, Director of Athletics Vaughn Williams announced Wednesday.
 
Seibel was previously the assistant coach at Tufts for three seasons, where she helped lead the Jumbos to a highly successful run that included an appearance in the 2025 national championship game, the Final Four in 2026 and the Elite Eight in 2024.

"I am incredibly honored and humbled to be named the next women's lacrosse head coach at Bentley," said Seibel. "I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Vaughn Williams, Courtney Finn and the entire hiring committee for their trust, confidence, and belief in my vision for this program.
