Coach Alexis
Coach Alexis started Giggles 'n' Sticks because she believes that girls' field lacrosse is a fantastic sport and knows firsthand the power of athletics for girls. She desired to create a space specifically for girls with women leaders supporting and encouraging girls on their leadership and lacrosse journeys.
Coach Alexis has been a part of lacrosse for more than 30 years. She played NCAA Division I lacrosse at the University of Pennsylvania. As a walk-on, she became the starting goalkeeper from 1993 - 1996. Her career saves are 2nd highest in Penn Women's lacrosse history. In 1999, Coach Alexis joined the coaching staff at the first historically black university to field a Division I women's lacrosse team, Howard University. Most recently, Coach Alexis has worked with the G. Lax (girls lacrosse) coaching staff with Baltimore Terps.
