Coach Keating Returns Home to Wells

Coach Sarah Keating '98 is excited to be back in Aurora, NY and on the scenic Wells College campus.  The last time Coach Keating was a part of Wells Lacrosse it was as a ferocious defensive wing.  Now Sarah is the Head Coach and she is looking ahead to the 2008 season! 

Coach Keating is committed to bringing success back to Wells Lacrosse, and she is optimistic about the 2008 season. Coach Keating said “We will win games by being tougher than our opponents. We will make up with what we lack in skills with intensity. This is a turning point for Wells Lacrosse and I am proud to be apart of it. ”
