Mary Ellen Carron begins her second season as graduate assistant coach in 2020. The 2018 Lehigh women’s lacrosse graduate played soccer in high school, and has served as a leader of her collegiate lacrosse program. Carron served as the Mountain Hawks’ lone captain as a senior, helping Lehigh to its sixth straight Patriot League Tournament berth.
During her first season with LUWS, Carron played an important role in the program’s operations, which ultimately led to on-field success. The Mountain Hawks finished the year 5-8-5 overall, 3-5-1 in Patriot League play. Lehigh was in the hunt for the postseason until the final game and along the way, picked up a number of impressive victories. Included was the program’s first-ever win over Boston University and a Senior Day win over Holy Cross (proving to be the Crusaders’ only regular season league defeat of the year).
As a collegiate lacrosse student-athlete, Carron played in 71 games, starting 68 while posting 28 goals and nine assists. A difference maker at both ends of the field, she added 59 groundballs, 47 caused turnovers and 15 draw controls. After playing defense as a freshman and sophomore, she emerged with 19 points as a junior and 18 as a senior. Carron won the Mountain Hawks’ team’s Coaches Award following her junior campaign.
Along with her on-field prowess, Carron served as a strong leader. Along with being a senior captain, she was co-president of T.I.D.E. (Tackling Inclusion, Diversity and Equity) – planning and executing educational events to promote equity around campus, with a concentration in the athletics department. Carron also took part in Leadership Legacies training, building leadership strategies with other student-athlete representatives and mentoring underclassmen transitioning from high school to college athletics.
Carron does have coaching experience, highlighted by time with Long Island Empire Lacrosse. She has served as assistant coach, writing and executing individualized training programs for multiple prospective college lacrosse players. Meanwhile, Carron impressed in the classroom as well; she was a consistent member of the Dean’s List and Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, finishing with a 3.45 cumulative GPA as a Psychology major and Health, Medicine and Society minor.
