Arizona State lacrosse head coach Courtney Martinez Connor announced the addition of former Montclair State University player and coach Tierney Conlon to the coaching staff as an assistant coach for the impending inaugural 2018 season.
“I am thrilled to welcome Tierney to the Sun Devil Lacrosse family,” said Connor. “She is a passionate, young coach with endless energy. She will be a positive role model for our young team.”
Conlon joins the Sun Devils after acting as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Montclair State. Conlon assisted head coach Nicol Parcelluzzi in all aspects of the sport including practice planning, recruiting, film breakdowns, strength and conditioning programming, and academic monitoring.
As a player for the Red Hawks, Conlon received First Team IWLCA DIII All-Region honors all four years. She played in 73 total games for MSU, totaling 187 goals in four years as a starter, and was named NJAC Player of the Year each of her last three years while adding NJAC and Skyline Conference Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman.
As a sophomore, Conlon set the MSU single-season record in both the points scored and assists categories. In her senior season, Conlon was named to the IWLCA DIII All-America First Team, becoming the first Red Hawks player in program history to be named to first team. She closed out her career at MSU as the all-time leader in assists and points and ranked fifth in goals (187), 11th in ground balls (119), 11th in draws (63) and ninth in caused turnovers (59).
Conlon finished her collegiate career as the NCAA DIII all-time leader in assists (247) and fourth all-time in points scored (187).
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the coaching staff for the Sun Devils’ first season competing in the Pac-12,” said Conlon. “Coach Connor and [Assistant] Coach [Ashley] Bruns have an outstanding reputation in the lacrosse world and I’m excited to work alongside them to help build this program in all aspects.”
The Sun Devils will begin their inaugural season in 2018. With ASU adopting a women’s lacrosse team, the Pac-12 Conference will field six lacrosse teams and have enough teams to host an inaugural Pac-12 Championship in the sport.
