Theresa Sherry ?04 Named Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at Cal
July 23, 2007 | Women's Lacrosse
Former Princeton All-American lacrosse player Theresa Sherry was named the head women's lacrosse coach at the University of California last week. Sherry was a three-time All-America at Princeton and a part of back-to-back NCAA championships in 2002 and 2003.
Sherry served as an assistant coach at Cal a season ago and also has coached at Amherst College. She also worked as a television commentator for ESPNU for multiple women's lacrosse matches.
"I'm very excited about this opportunity, especially the opportunity to build on the foundation that was laid down by former coach Jill Malko in the last nine years," Sherry said. "This Cal program has a great future. We already have a lot of great players on the team, and there's a lot of good talent interested in the program. It's a team that's about to burst onto the national scene. I'm excited to be a part of that."
In addition to being named a first-team All-American as a player in 2002, 2003 and 2004, Sherry was a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award as the nation's top women's lacrosse player as a senior in 2004. She helped Princeton to NCAA championships in both 2002 and 2003. Her Princeton teams also reached the NCAA final four in 2001 and 2004, finishing as the national runner-up in 2004. The Tigers captured Ivy League championships in each of her four seasons at the school. A four-time All-Ivy League selection, Sherry was the conference's Player of the Year in 2004.
"I'm just very excited for Theresa,” Princeton head coach Chris Sailer said. “She was an outstanding player and an incredible leader on the field for us, and she will be a fantastic coach. I know she loves Berkeley. She's going to bring her passion for the game and a lot of experience as a player and will be a great role model for the players she coaches. She will have an outstanding career as a college coach. Cal is lucky is have a person of her background, her experience and her integrity leading."
In addition to lacrosse, Sherry was a four-year letterwinner for the Princeton women's soccer team, serving as a team captain and helping the program to three Ivy League titles.
