Morissette is one of the most decorated players in Louisville lacrosse history.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It was announced today that Kaylin Morissette, one of the most decorated players in Louisville lacrosse history, has been named an assistant coach for the University of Louisville women's lacrosse team. It will mark Morissette's second year as a member of the coaching staff as she served as student assistant in 2018.
"We are excited to officially add Kay as an assistant coach to our staff," said head coach Scott Teeter. "She is one of the most successful players in our program's history and that hard work that made her a great player has definitely translated into her coaching career. She has been a part of my staff the last two years and I look forward to working with Kay and the rest of our staff as we prepare for the 2019 season."
Morissette will assist with all daily operations of the women's lacrosse program, oversee game footage, video breakdown, assist with offensive strategy, analyze opponents for game scouts and provide skill instruction and individual player development.
In her first season with the program as a student assistant, she helped the Cardinals win five of their first six games before finishing the season with a 6-11 record. She helped guide freshman Caroline Blalock and senior Emily Howell to All-ACC honors.
Prior to coming to Louisville with Teeter, she served as an assistant on Teeter's staff at Canisius in 2017. She helped guide the Griffs to a MAAC Championship, while mentoring eight All-MAAC players, including Erica Evans, who was named MAAC Midfielder of the Year after breaking the MAAC record for points scored in a season.
Morissette graduated from the University of Louisville in 2016, following a storied lacrosse career. She ranks first all-time with 572 career draw controls, which nearly doubles Emily Dashiell's second-most 247 career draw controls. She ranks second in school history with 51 assists, 73 games played and 72 starts, third with 218 points and 119 ground balls and fourth with 167 goals.
In her four years, she helped lead the Cardinals to a 49-24 record, including a Big East Championship and the program's first ever NCAA Tournament win in 2014. In 2015 and 2016, she was named IWLCA First Team All-American. She is one of two Louisville players to be named IWLCA All-American, joining Nikki Boltja in 2014, and the only player to earn the honor twice.
A native of Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada, she also competed for Team Canada at the World Cup in 2013 and 2017, helping Team Canada to a silver medal in 2013 in Oshawa, Ontario.
She graduated from UofL with a Bachelor's of Science in Exercise Science and is scheduled to graduate in May 2019 with a Master's of Science in Sport Administration.
