The 2018-19 campaign marks Cait Gillard’s ninth season with the Mountain Hawks program and her seventh as an assistant coach after spending the previous two seasons as the Director of Basketball Operations.
“Cait brings a tremendous amount of energy to our staff, knowledge of Lehigh, our program and the people associated with it and a strong understanding of what it takes to achieve at the highest level in the Patriot League,” said head coach Sue Troyan. “As a student-athlete who competed and excelled in the Patriot League, Caitlin serves as an exceptional role model for our current and future student-athletes."
During her first seven seasons as a member of the Mountain Hawk staff, Gillard has helped guide Lehigh to a 112-103 overall record, including an appearance in the 2015 Patriot League Championship game. Gillard has helped mentor 16 All-Patriot League picks, five Academic All-League selections and one Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Gillard joined the Mountain Hawks’ staff after serving as the assistant women’s basketball coach at Hamilton College in 2009-10. At Hamilton, Gillard was responsible for overseeing recruiting efforts, assisting with practices, scheduling and logistics. Gillard also prepared scouting reports, designed conditioning schedules and oversaw the academic progress of all players in the program.
Prior to her time at Hamilton College, Gillard spent a year as a research associate at the Duke University Center for Neuroscience in 2008-09. She was responsible for recruiting, scheduling and coordinating research participants, in addition to conducting cognitive research experiments and analyzing data for the doctoral studies staff.
Gillard earned her degree from Colgate University in 2008, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts. In four years with the Raiders, Gillard was twice named team MVP and served as team captain for three seasons. Gillard was named to the Patriot League All-Academic Team every season in a Raiders’ uniform and was presented with the Dean’s Award for maintaining a semester GPA above 3.3 on eight different occasions.
