Alison Fisher, who over the past four years served as assistant coach at Princeton University, has returned back to her home state to join the La Salle Lacrosse staff.

"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Alison to La Salle," Head Coach Julie Weiss said. "Her expertise and knowledge of the game, couple with her passion and enthusiasm for coaching will be a tremendous asset to our program. Having coached with Ali at camps and on the club lacrosse scene, I have seen first hand the positive impact she has on athletes."

Over the last four years as an assistant at Princeton University, Fisher worked primarily with the defense and goalkeepers. While at Princeton, she assisted in coaching the Tigers to four NCAA tournament appearances, two Ivy League titles, and one National Championship appearance. Alison also helped coach and develop eight All Americans, three Ivy League Rookies of the Year, three Ivy League Players of the Year, two Tewaaraton Finalists, and 15 All Ivy selections. Prior to her position at Princeton, Alison was an assistant at both Lafayette College and the University of Delaware.

Fisher is a graduate of Lafayette College, where she was a member of both the Field Hockey and Lacrosse teams. She captained both squads and earned All-Conference honors in each sport. Fisher was a four-time Academic All-American, a three-time Patriot League Scholar Athlete of the Year, a two-time IWLCA All-Academic Squad Selection, and was named Lafayette's most Outstanding Student-Athlete in 2001.

Fisher, a native of Horsham, PA, earned a bachelor's of science degree in Biology from Lafayette in 2001.
