Colleen Kincaid

Lewis University Director of Athletics John Planek announced on Thursday (July 7) that Colleen Kincaid has been hired as the new head coach of the women's lacrosse team at Lewis. Kincaid brings more than 10 years of coaching experience with her to the Flyers.


"It has always been a dream of mine to lead a collegiate women's lacrosse program and I could not be more happy with my new home at Lewis University," Kincaid said. "I am so excited to build on this team's incredible potential and contend for a GLVC championship. Lewis University has so much to offer and I am so grateful to Dr. Planek for this amazing opportunity. Go Flyers!"


"Colleen's experience at the collegiate, high school and club level in the Chicago area will be a great asset as she builds our Lewis program," Planek said. "Her coaching at Chicago-area Catholic high schools align with our mission and should be a valuable recruiting tool."


Kincaid was a Division I goalie at Massachusetts Amhurst before she started her coaching career in 2009 as the Evanston High School freshman and goalie coach.


She got her first job as a head coach in 2013 as the first coach of the Resurrection College Prep program. She moved to the Regina Dominican High School coach in 2015 and 2016 where she was the winningest coach in program history with 18 wins and secured the first playoff win in more than 20 years of the program's history. She continued on to Maine South in 2018 where she was the inaugural IHSA Girls Lacrosse Coach of the Year.


Kincaid joined the college ranks in the 2018-19 school year as an assistant coach at Aurora University. She helped the Spartans to back-to-back conference championships in 2021 and 2022 and a 2021 Sweet 16 appearance. She was a part of the 2022 NACC Coaching Staff of the Year.


She also spent time as the 2016 and 2018 US Lacrosse Illinois National Team coach, was the team director of True Lacrosse from 2017-2021 and club director of Second City Lacrosse beginning in 2021.
