Annie Carroll joined
Suzanne Isidor's staff in the summer of 2022 and will be entering her second season as an assistant this Spring.
"Annie is a wonderful addition to the Aggie family," Isidor said. "She brings great experience as a player and is ready to hit the ground running in her college coaching career. She is going to be a fantastic mentor for our student-athletes and I look forward to working with her."
Carroll, a goalie, played four years at Connecticut, appearing in 14 games with three starts from 2017-2021 with the Huskies. She served as a member of the team leadership council her senior year, helping lead Connecticut to the NCAA Tournament and a Big East Championship appearance. Carroll was also an SAAC representative at UConn from 2019-2021.
She played a fifth season at Temple in 2022, earning a master's in higher education. She started all 17 games for the Owls and earned AAC All-Conference Second Team honors after going 10-5 and making 125 saves.
"I am incredibly excited to be joining the UC Davis coaching staff!" said Carroll. "I am thrilled to be a part of the Aggie family and look forward to working alongside talented coaches and players."
She was named IWLCA and AAC Player of the Week on Feb. 15, 2022 for leading the Owls to a 16-5 win over Army. She had 12 saves against 15 shots on goal in her first start for Temple and her .800 save percentage was the highest single-game mark since Temple began tracking the stat in 2010.
One of Carroll's wins in 2022 came against UC Davis as she made six saves against the Aggies on Mar. 20 in Philadelphia to help the Owls to an 11-6 win.
During the fall of 2021, Carroll interned with the Temple coaching staff to gain office experience involved in running a Division I program. For the past two years she's been a coach for NXT Lacrosse Club, planning practices and coaching both field players and goalies. She also created the curriculum and goalie instruction for the entire club and assisted with player tryouts, skill evaluations, and camps.
In addition to her role with NXT Lacrosse, Carroll began coaching for Foundation Lacrosse in the fall of 2021 and co-directed weekly training sessions for youth, middle, and high school goalies.
