Kathy Railey begins her third year as Head Women's Lacrosse Coach and SWA/Compliance Director, after serving for five years at Eastern Connecticut State University as the Head Lacrosse and Head Field Hockey Coach.  Railey takes her impressive resume south to her native Baltimore where her college coaching career began. 

In each of the last five years at Eastern Connecticut State, Railey has guided her team to the post season, including winning the 2002 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) New England Division III Tournament and reaching the ECAC title match again in each of the last two years. She led the Warriors to a spot in the New England Women's Lacrosse Alliance (NEWLA) playoffs in her first season as a head coach in 2000, then improved upon that in 2001 when Eastern shared the South Division regular-season title and won its first playoff match since 1998. 

Three years ago Railey took ECSU to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in which her team lost to eventual national champions Salisbury University.  Railey is a member of both the United States Lacrosse Association and the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association.

Prior to getting the head job at ECS, Railey served as an assistant women's lacrosse coach on the collegiate level for three seasons at McDaniel College (formerly Western Maryland College) and Goucher College and as a head collegiate field hockey coach for four seasons at McDaniel (Western Maryland) and Goucher.

As a college athlete, Railey was a four-year letterwinner and a team captain in both field hockey and lacrosse at Gettysburg (PA) College between 1987 and 1991.

Railey graduated from Gettysburg University in 1991, earning a B.A. Degree in Economics, and from Western Maryland College in 1993, earning a Master's Degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Physical Education.
