Madison Carter Named Assistant Coach

STORRS, Conn. – UConn women's lacrosse head coach, Katie Woods, announced the addition of Madison Carter to her coaching staff on Tuesday in the offensive coordinator role. Carter comes to Storrs after serving as an assistant coach with the Clemson women's lacrosse program for the last three years.

"We are so excited to have Madison join our UConn Lacrosse staff" Woods commented. "I have known her for a long time and believe she's going to be a great addition because her values and philosophy align with our program's culture.  Madison's coaching and playing experience will impact our student-athletes immediately as we continue to compete for championships."

As a player, Carter graduated with high honors from Penn State in 2019, helping her team advance to two back-to-back NCAA final four appearances in 2016 and 2017. Madison was named B1G Ten Freshman of the Year in 2016, earned IWLCA All-American honors in 2017 and 2018, and was named captain for the Nittany Lions.

Carter spent the last three years as a member of the inaugural staff at Clemson, assisting in all facets of starting the lacrosse program. On field, Carter coached the offensive and draw units. In the first two years of competing, Madison helped develop US Lacrosse Honorable Mention All-American draw specialist, Ella Little, in addition to coaching three players to the All-ACC Freshman Team. Prior to Clemson, Carter served as an assistant coach at Mercer University, helping lead her athletes to a 2021 Southern Conference Championship.

Carter is no stranger to the UConn lacrosse program as her sister, Morgan, competed for the Huskies from 2021-2024 and was a captain during the 2023-2024 year.

This hire is pending successful completion of the University onboarding process.
