Stephani Schmidt, Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach of Denison University, directs the Nike Lacrosse camp again in 2010. Since her arrival in 2001 she has guided the Big Red to eight consecutive North Coast Athletic Conference tournament appearances, two conference tournament championships and a pair of trips to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

In conference play, Schmidt has led Denison to an impeccable 47-12 record since 2001 highlighted by two 7-0 seasons in 2001 and 2002. In 2006, Schmidt's team finished 8-8 for the season, but led them to the NCAC Championship and was rewarded with the NCAC Coach of the Year. As a result of winning the conference, the team advanced to their 13th NCAA Championship.

Despite a 6-9 record overall, Schmidt led the injury-riddled 2008 squad to a 4-2 mark in conference play and tied for second place. Senior Quinn Simmons was honored as NCAC Offensive Player of the Year, Schmidts's sixth player coached to win this honor.
