Medaille College Athletic Director Amy DeKay announced today the hiring of Erin Schurr as the next head coach for the Mavericks women's lacrosse team.
  
Schurr comes to Agassiz Circle after being the bench boss in charge of the SUNY Poly Wildcats from 2012-2017. During her four year stint with SUNY Poly, Schurr took the Wildcats to unprecedented heights. She compiled a 35-24 overall record, helping 20 student-athletes earn All-Conference honors. She also coached the 2015 NEAC Defensive Player of the Year, as well as the 2016 and 2017 NEAC Offensive Player of the Year.
  
Schurr is very familiar with the Mavericks, having faced off against Medaille each year while at SUNY Poly. That familiarity was something that helped convince her to come and join something special at Medaille.
  
In 2016 Schurr lead SUNY Poly to the greatest season in program history, going 13-4 and 8-1 in the NEAC en route to their first ever NEAC Championship. Wins over Morrisville State and Cazenovia in the NEAC Tournament earned Schurr and the Wildcats a berth into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history and earning her the 2016 NEAC Women's Lacrosse Coach of the Year.
  
Schurr was also the Women's Soccer Coach during her time at SUNY Poly, compiling a 54-42-8 record while boasting 16 All-Conference players and the 2015 NEAC Defensive Player of the Year.
 
Before her coaching days, Schurr was a member of the women's lacrosse team as a student-athlete at Fredonia from 2003-2007. As a player she racked up 46 goals, 21 assists, 69 points, 92 ground balls, caused 52 turnovers, and earned 49 draw controls.
