Katie Lasater joined the Bucknell women's lacrosse program as an assistant coach in the fall of 2022. Lasater came to Bucknell from Washington and Lee, where in 2022 she helped the Generals to a 19-3 record and a run to the NCAA Division III Tournament quarterfinals.

"I have known Katie for several years, and I am very excited to welcome her to our coaching staff," said Dando. "Her most recent coaching experience at Washington and Lee has prepared her well for the transition to Bucknell, as she truly understands and appreciates the student-athlete experience. In addition, Katie's experience and passion for recruiting will elevate our incoming classes."

In the spring of 2022, Lasater coached six Old Dominion Athletic Conference all-stars, including the Defensive Player of the Year, as well as one IWLCA Third Team All-American. The Generals tied a school record with 19 wins, captured ODAC regular-season and tournament titles, and won two NCAA Tournament games before falling to Gettysburg in the quarterfinals.

In addition to her work as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at Washington and Lee, Lasater also served as a physical education instructor, teaching full-semester fitness classes.

Lasater is a native of Malvern, Pa., and has extensive playing and coaching experience in her home state. In the spring of 2021, Lasater was an assistant girls' lacrosse coach and administration assistant in the West Chester (Pa.) Area School district. She was previously an assistant coach at the collegiate level at Kutztown (2018-21) and Arcadia (2017-18), and since 2017 she has coached with the Philly Blast Lacrosse Club.

Lasater is a 2016 graduate of Cabrini University, where she earned a degree in marketing with minors in sports management and finance.
