Northwestern associate head coach Ann Elliott was hired to coach the new women’s lacrosse team at the University of Colorado, athletic director Mike Bohn announced Monday. Elliott won three national titles as a player at Northwestern, and the Wildcats, currently ranked No. 1, won two more with her as an assistant coach.
Elliott will join the Buffs after Northwestern’s season is finished. She can recruit for CU in the meantime. The lacrosse team starts play in the spring of 2014.
