COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Maryland women's lacrosse head coach Cathy Reese announces that the program will welcome back the 2013 National Attacker of the Year, Alex Aust Holman, to serve as an assistant coach for the Terps.
 
"We are so excited to add Alex to our coaching staff as she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role," said Reese. "Alex truly embodies success and was a standout student-athlete in our program, always meeting our standards and expectations. Her enthusiasm, dedication and love for Maryland and our players makes her a fantastic addition to our staff.
 
Aust played for the Terps from 2010-13, standing second all-time in career assists with 132 and ninth all-time in career points with 275. Her 55 assists in 2013 are the second-most in a single season ever by a Terp, leading her to be named a Tewaaraton Finalist. Aust went 84-8 during her time in College Park and helped the Terps win the 2010 National Championship, before serving as the Terrapins Director of Operations during the 2014 and 2015 National Championship seasons.

"I'm incredibly excited and grateful to be at a place that holds such a significance for me," said Aust. "Maryland lacrosse has a special place in my heart, and I'm thrilled to contribute to a program that provided me with some of the most memorable years of my life. I look forward to working next to and learning from Cathy, Kenis and Nadine as we continue to get better everyday."
 
Aust served as the Director of Player Development during the 2024 season after serving as a volunteer assistant coach in 2023.
