Former Athlete of the Year Donohoe joins Navy women's lax coaching staff
North Harford graduate Corey Donohoe, The Baltimore Sun's 2007 Female Athlete of the Year and an All-American lacrosse standout at North Carolina, has joined the women's lacrosse coaching staff at the Naval Academy as a volunteer assistant.
"It is an amazing opportunity to work at Navy with Cindy Timchal, the rest of the coaching staff and the team," Donohoe said in a news release. "Cindy is the face of the women's lacrosse world and I am really looking forward to learning a lot from the coaches. The girls on the team want to work hard and they know they can continue to get better. I am looking forward to helping them improve every day and have a great season."
This summer, Donohoe earned a spot on the U.S. national team which is preparing for the 2013 World Cup in Canada.
A three-sport standout at North Harford, she led the Hawks girls lacrosse team to the state final in her senior year and was The Sun's All-Metro Player of the Year. She had 83 goals and had 44 assists to lead the No. 7 Hawks to a 17-2 finish that year as well as the first state championship appearance in the program's history. She finished her career with 193 goals and 119 assists.
At North Carolina, she became the Tar Heels' all-time leading scorer with 192 goals and 256 points. The two-time All-American played in three final fours and 2009 national championship loss to Northwestern.
