Former All-American Katie Hagan returns to her alma mater to begin her first season as the Bullets assistant lacrosse coach in 2008-09. Hagan was the 2007 Centennial Conference Player of the Year and led Gettysburg to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division III semifinals in 2006 and 2007.
Hagan starred for four seasons as a member of Gettysburg’s midfield from 2004 to 2007, helping the Bullets to an impressive overall record of 72-11 (.867), including 34-2 (.944) against members of the Centennial Conference. Gettysburg won three conference championships during that time and appeared in the NCAA playoffs all four seasons. In 2006, Hagan helped lead the Bullets to a school-record 21 victories en route to the national title game.
Individually, Hagan appeared in all but four games during her four seasons, accruing 143 points on 90 goals and 53 assists, the latter marking the seventh-highest total in school history. As a senior in 2007, she posted career marks for goals (35), assists (32), points (67), ground balls (43), and caused turnovers (32) en route to being named CC Player of the Year, first-team All-Metro Region, and first-team Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-America. In a thrilling regular season contest with top-ranked College of New Jersey, Hagan tallied two goals and two assists, including dishing out the helper on the game-winning goal in overtime.
A native of Media, Pa., Hagan was a three-sport standout at Cardinal O’Hara High School, earning first-team all-conference honors in both soccer and lacrosse three times and serving as the captain of the basketball and lacrosse squads. After graduating from Gettysburg with a degree in management in 2007, she spent one year working for Tech USA as a recruiter in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. area.
