CLEMSON, SC — Clemson Head Lacrosse Coach Allison Kwolek has announced the addition Landyn White as an assistant coach. White was a top performer at UConn, where she earned 2024 Big East Goalkeeper of the Year honors in her graduate student year.

"We are very excited to welcome Landyn to Clemson,” said Kwolek, who will enter her third competitive season with the Tigers in 2024-25. "Landyn obviously was a tremendous goalkeeper on three-straight NCAA Tournament teams at UConn, but she also has been coaching at the youth and club level throughout her collegiate career. As an Atlanta native, Landyn already has an understanding of what makes this place so special and will be a tremendous addition to the staff. We’re thrilled to add two women of this caliber to our staff."

White, an Alpharetta, Georgia native, garnered Inside Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention, USA Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention, IWLCA All-Northeast Region Second Team, Big East All-Tournament Team, and All-Big East First Team honors in her final season.
