Sara Tisdale will be the first coach in Florida State women’s lacrosse history when the team begins play in the 2025-2026 season. Tisdale started the Central Michigan women’s lacrosse program from scratch in 2015 and coached Eastern Michigan in their inaugural season in 2023, part of a deep resume that assured Athletic Director Michael Alford she would be the right woman for the job.
Alford released a statement following the news of the hire sent by a Florida State spokesperson:
“This is an exciting time for Florida State athletics as we welcome Sara Tisdale to lead the launch of our intercollegiate women’s lacrosse team,” Alford said.
