Head Coach

A native of Skaneateles, NY, Coach Maddy grew up playing soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse. She played midfield for the Duke Blue Devils and graduated in 2014. Maddy was selected to the All-ACC second team as a senior and was a four-year selection to the ACC Academic Honor Roll and a three-time selection to the All-ACC Academic team.

Maddy moved to Manhattan Beach in 2015 and began growing lacrosse in Los Angeles. Maddy was an assistant coach at Marlborough from 2015-2019, and then joined our Mustangs in the Fall of 2019! 

When Maddy took over as head coach in 2021, she set out to build something special, and it's been incredible to watch this program grow into what it is today. We're proud to be recognized as the #1 team in Southern California by Lax Numbers, and to sit at #6 among California teams in USA Lacrosse's Girls' West Region Top 10 — but honestly, the rankings are just a reflection of the work these girls have put in year after year.

Bay League has been a proving ground for us. We won it in 2023, 2024, and 2025 — in 2025, we went undefeated, 18-0 — and shared the title again in 2026. That kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident; it's a testament to the culture we've built. But the CIF path is really what tells our story. We reached the Division 3 Championship game in 2023 and came up just short. We fought our way to a Division 1 Semifinal in 2024. Then back-to-back trips to the CIF-SS Championship game — runners-up in 2025, and finally, in 2026, we clinched the title.

When Coach Maddy isn't on our sideline, you can find her coaching the South Bay Sharks rec lacrosse team, her travel team LA Select, the Women's Irish National Sixes Team, or the WLL California Palms! Maddy's dream is to watch lacrosse at the Olympics for the first time, right in our own backyard here in LA in 2028.

"A lacrosse community should be a thriving ecosystem from rec lacrosse to high school lacrosse. With a strong youth presence, our high school programs can thrive and open doors for student-athletes to play lacrosse at the collegiate, international, and professional levels." MMB

Laurel is from the snowy, mountain town of Park City, Utah. Laurel grew up racing down the ski hills and began playing lacrosse in 7th grade as a means of off-season training. Inevitably, the love of lacrosse became the primary focus. 

She continued to play at D-III Adrian College in Michigan, getting recruited as a low attacker. In her Freshman season, her team needed a Goalie for the 2nd half of the season. After playing some of this role in high school, Laurel suited up for the remainder of her first year. Adrian went on to its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in school history. Laurel continued to play as a low defender for her remaining three years. During this time, Adrian won 3 MIAA conference championships, had 3 more NCAA tournament appearances, and reached the Quarterfinals in her Junior year. Laurel was named to the MIAA All-Conference First Team her senior year.

Following college, Laurel moved back to Park City, where she coached the Park City HS Girls. During her time with this team, they won 3 Utah High School State Championships. She was involved with the US Ski and Snowboard team, Utah Mamaci, 212, and helped start a lacrosse program at Wasatch High School. In 2016, she was named the Utah U-15 National team Coach.

Laurel moved to Redondo Beach in 2020, where she began coaching for South Bay Lacrosse and LA Select and was asked to assist Mira Costa. Laurel is in her 5th year at Mira Costa.
