Tracy Coyne was named the fifth head coach in Duquesne Lacrosse program history on July 16, 2024. Coyne, a Pittsburgh native, arrives on the Bluff as the 17th winningest coach in NCAA history and ranks 12th among active coaches with a 322-230 record over 35 seasons.
Coyne spent the past five seasons leading the Saint Francis University program in Loretto, Pa. where she recorded the most overall wins (30) and Northeast Conference (NEC) wins (18) in program history. The Red Flash were guided to two NEC Tournament appearances (first two in program history) and finished with a .500 or better record for the first time in 2023 and 2024 under Coyne, including a program-best 10 overall wins and seven NEC victories in 2023. Coyne coached the first two major award winners in program history (NEC Midfielder of the Year and NEC Rookie of the Year), 13 All-NEC and three NEC All-Rookie selections at SFU.
Coyne's legendary career began in 1988 at Division III programs Denison University (2 seasons) and Roanoke College (7 seasons) before being tabbed as the inaugural head coach at Notre Dame in August of 1996. Coyne won the NCAC title both years at Denison and led Roanoke to five conference championships in seven seasons. She was also named the National Coach of the Year in 1992 after leading the Maroons to the national semifinals and is a member of the Roanoke College Athletic Hall of Fame.
As the first coach in program history at Notre Dame, Coyne quickly turned it into a national power over her 15-year tenure. The Irish made six NCAA Tournament appearances, including a national semifinal run in 2006, and won the Big East Championship in 2009. Coyne, who is an honorary member of the Notre Dame Monogram Club, was honored as the Big East Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2008, as well as IWLCA's Division I National Coach of the Year in 2006.
