JACKSON, MS- The Millsaps Majors this week officially named Molly Macdonald as the new women's lacrosse head coach. 

Macdonald is the third coach in Millsaps women's lacrosse history and replaces Kasey Laird who served as coach last year on an interim basis. 

A 2013 graduate of Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, Macdonald spent last season as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania. At W and J, Macdonald coached a pair of lady Presidents to 24 and 19 goal seasons, respectfully.

Macdonald was a four-year member of the women's lacrosse team at Mount Holyoke and was one of the team's and conference's top attackers. For her career, Macdonald totaled 115 goals, including 65 during her final season, which ranks her fourth in the school's single-season record book. Her collegiate goal (115) and point (130) totals rank her fourth all-time at Mount Holyoke. She was named a co-captain and first team all-conference in her senior year. 

In addition to her playing career, Macdonald served as a four year lacrosse clinic counselor and served as the New Durham Youth Lacrosse Clinic Director. As Director, she started a youth women's lacrosse program.
