Elizabeth Grote

The most successful coach in program history, Liz Grote has been the head coach of the Polar Bear women's lacrosse team since 2003.


Over the course of her tenure at Bowdoin, Grote has won over 65% of her games and led the Polar Bears to unprecedented heights. The Polar Bears have made two NESCAC Championship game appearances, qualified for seven NCAA Division III Tournaments and - in 2011 - accumulated the most wins in school history (18), the program's first-ever trip to the NCAA "Final Four" and runner-up finish in the Division III Championship.


In 2011 Grote surpassed long-time head coach Sally LaPointe as the winningest in program history. Coach Grote was honored as the IWLCA's New England Coach of the Year in 2005, '11 and '15. Under her direction, Bowdoin has had more than a dozen IWLCA Division III All-Americans and has won over 200 matches.


A native of Simsbury, Conn., Grote is a 1994 graduate of the University of Vermont and came to Bowdoin with an extensive background in college lacrosse. In addition to accumulating a school-best 32-18 record in three years at Wooster, Grote held assistant coaching jobs at Monmouth University (1995), Princeton University (1996) and the University of New Hampshire (1997-99). Prior to Bowdoin, Grote was the head coach at Wooster where, in 2002, she led her team to a school- record 12 victories (12-6 overall), surpassing the 29-year program's previous top mark of 10 wins in a season, and was named the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association Division III West Region Coach of the Year.
