Kylie McMinn

On staff this summer is Kylie McMinn. Coach McMinn was hired as the Corban University’s first-ever women’s lacrosse coach.

McMinn joins the Navy and Gold after previously coaching at Montreat College in North Carolina, where she helmed the Cavaliers’ women’s lacrosse team. As a player, McMinn was an elite midfielder for Montreat during its inaugural season, serving as the team captain and earning Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) All-Conference and All-Academic accolades.

Before her time as a Cavalier, McMinn also competed as a standout member of NCAA Division II Concordia University-Irvine’s first-ever women’s lacrosse team.

Her exceptional understanding of the game and her detailed knowledge of leading a start-up program make her an ideal fit to captain the launch of women’s lacrosse at Corban University.

Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, and Corban is the first NAIA institution in the state of Oregon to feature a women’s program.

Upon her arrival, McMinn will begin the recruiting process immediately, with the Navy and Gold women’s lacrosse program looking ahead to the 2020-21 academic year for its first official season of competition.
