Head Coach: Kareen Kreutziger

Kareen began her lacrosse career in 1992 playing defense as a freshman in high school in her home town of Lexington, MA. She graduated Lexington High School (class of '96) with three varsity letters in lacrosse (along with two in soccer and one in basketball). The University of Rochester (Rochester, NY) became Kareen's college home, where she played for four years as a starting defender for every game of her career. She earned state and regional recognition every year, culminating in her being named to the National All-America Team in 2000 -- the first women's lacrosse player from UR to gain such recognition. In addition, she was named to the Academic All-American First Team for all spring athletes in both 1999 and 2000 for her athletic and academic acheivement. Kareen became a student assistant coach for the UR team during her fifth year and graduated in 2001 with highest honors in biomedical engineering. She moved to Seattle that summer to begin a PhD program in Bioengineering at the University of Washington, which brought her to this program. Kareen began coaching WWL in 2002 with co-coach Vinca Swanson, when the team gained the title of League Champions. Kareen continued as head coach in 2003 with assistant coach Sarah Childers, coaching the WWL team to hold on to the league championship title. Kareen is back this season to volunteer her time as head coach and will play her third season with the Seattle Women's Lacrosse Club Team.

Kim Martini was the starting goalie for 4 years on the varsity lacrosse team at the University of Albany in NY.  The team went to the Div. II ECAC championships in 1998.  She holds the school's all-time record for saves. Currently she is a graduate student in Oceanography at the UW and plays with Seattle Women's Lacrosse.
