Casey Quinn joined the Slippery Rock staff as assistant coach in January of 2013.
Quinn served as a volunteer assistant coach while she finished her student teaching during the semester before joining the staff full-time. She graduated in December 2012 with her bachelor’s degree in physical education.
“I am very excited to have Casey on staff full time after she volunteered her services with the team,” said head coach Emily Hopkins. “She brings a lot of energy and passion for the game that will have an immediate impact on the team. Casey had an outstanding career here as a player and will be able to contribute on both ends of the field.”
Quinn, who played her last season in 2012, left the program as one of the most decorated players to ever wear the Green and White. She was voted by her teammates as the Most Valuable Player on the team all four years and is the second leading scorer in school history.
Throughout her career, she tallied 150 goals and handed out 30 assists for 180 points. She is one of only two players in Slippery Rock history to reach the 150-point mark, let alone the 150-goal mark.
Quinn was a two-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference selection and also was an All-Region selection by the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association. Following her senior year, she was invited to play in the IWLCA North/South Senior All-Star game.
Quinn is the all-time leader in Slippery Rock history in career ground balls (160) and caused turnovers (92), ranks second in career goals (150) and points (180), ranks fourth in career assists (30) and draw controls (132) and ranks fifth in total games played (62).
A native of Vernon, N.J., Quinn was part of the first recruiting class at Slippery Rock for Hopkins and was one of the essential pieces to the program’s drastic turnaround. Before her freshman season, The Rock went winless in back-to-back seasons. The team won five games her freshman year, seven her sophomore year, 11 her junior year and set the all-time single season wins record with 12 wins in her senior year.
Quinn will assist with the offensive and defensive game planning, recruiting, scouting and all other facets of the program.
