Asa Goldstock, just a couple years older than her, was the goalie she wanted to emulate.
So . . . playing for an NCAA championship . . . with Treanor as one of her coaches . . . and Goldstock as the opposing goalie?
“I thought it was the coolest thing ever,” Boston College junior Rachel Hall said earlier this week, days after helping to lead her team to an NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse championship.
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is the winningest coach in Division I men’s basketball history and has led the Blue Devils to five national championships in his 41 seasons, will retire after the 2021-22 season, the university announced Wednesday.
“My family and I view today as a celebration,” Krzyzewski said in a statement. “Our time at both West Point and Duke has been beyond amazing and we are thankful and honored to have led two college programs at world-class institutions for more than four decades. That, coupled with 11 unforgettable years as the United States National Team coach, has resulted in a remarkable journey. Certainly, I have been blessed to coach some of the finest young men and greatest players in basketball history as a direct result of these unique opportunities. For us, there is no greater joy than being part of our players’ respective endeavors through basketball, and more importantly, their lives off the court.”
