College Park, MD - The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) has announced the 2025 IWLCA Hall of Fame inductees, recognizing a legendary figure in the sport: Cathy Reese, head coach at the University of Maryland.

The official induction ceremony will be held in November 2025 at the IWLCA Convention at Tradewinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

Reese has been a pillar of women's lacrosse for decades, consistently leading her team to remarkable success.

Over the course of her distinguished career as a student-athlete, assistant coach, and head coach at the University of Maryland, Cathy Reese has amassed an impressive 12 NCAA Championships. She ranks sixth all-time among women's lacrosse head coaches with 332 career wins, achieving milestones as the fastest coach to reach 200, 250, and 300 wins. Reese has guided Maryland to five national championships (2010, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019), 11 Final Fours, and 20 regular-season and tournament championships across the ACC and Big Ten. She is recognized as a four-time IWLCA National Coach of the Year (2010, 2014, 2015, 2019) and a 12-time conference coach of the year. With a career winning percentage of .825, Reese has developed eight Tewaaraton Trophy winners, 24 National Players of the Year, and 78 All-Americans. Her legacy has earned her numerous inductions, including into the Maryland Athletics Hall of Fame, DC Sports Hall of Fame, Howard County (Md.) Women's Athletic Hall of Fame, and several USA Lacrosse Halls of Fame, culminating in her induction into the USA Lacrosse National Hall of Fame in 2019.

"It is an incredible honor to be inducted as a member of the Class of 2025 into the IWLCA Hall of Fame," said Cathy Reese. "I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to dedicate so many years to a game that means so much to me. Throughout my career, I've cherished every chance to positively impact the lives of young women in this sport. My family and I are deeply grateful for this recognition, and I truly appreciate the unwavering support from my peers along the way." – Cathy Reese
