“I am excited to welcome Kelyn Freedman to the Tiger family! She comes to us from Georgetown University, also her alma mater, where she coached alongside Ricky Fried, an incredible mentor of the game,” said Carr. “Kelyn has an impressive resume coordinating both sides of the ball. Kelyn will specifically work with the defensive side for us. She is a teacher of the game, believes in player development, and is one of the hardest workers in our sport. We are lucky to have her on our team!”
Before Georgetown, Freedman spent three seasons at George Washington working with the defense. She coached Jenna Oler, who was named to the Inside Lacrosse All-Rookie team, while Jocelyn Donohue was chosen to play in the North-South Senior All-Star game during her tenure with the Revolutionaries.

The Purple Eagles finished with the third most wins in program history in 2016. At Niagara, she graduated with a Master of Science in Sports Management.
Freedman played four seasons at Georgetown, where was a two-time First Team All-BIG EAST and the IWLCA Second Team All-South Region midfielder for the Hoyas from 2011-14. The former captain totaled 120 points, 98 goals and 135 draw controls over 67 games to sit among the program leaders.
