FRESNO, Calif. --- Fresno State head coach Jessica Pausewang announced the hiring of Nicole Price as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs lacrosse team.
"We are so happy to have Nicole join our staff as the offensive coordinator," said Pausewang on Price's addition to the lacrosse staff. "Nicole brings a wealth of knowledge from her playing and coaching experience in Division I. She has been someone I have known in the coaching industry and I have no doubt she will grow our program here."
Price joins the Bulldogs from conference foe San Diego State where she spent a year under Kylee White's leadership. In her sole season with the Aztecs, Price helped SDSU to its first Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament appearance in program history in 2014, as the Aztecs began the season with a 4-0 mark and set several new program records including most conference victories (4), most road victories (4) and most player of the week honors (6).
"I am very excited for this opportunity to work with such a great coaching staff and can't wait to start working with the team and prepare for this upcoming season," said Price.
Prior to her time in San Diego, Price was an assistant coach for her alma mater Mount St. Mary's, where she played on the lacrosse team for three seasons.
After posting six goals and one assist for seven points in 2009 at attack, Price returned to the team in 2011 to record 37 goals and eight assists for 45 points. During the 2011 season, Price scored the game-winner in the waning seconds against Sacred Heart in the final regular season game to propel the Mount into the NEC Tournament. She then scored four times, including a natural hat trick in the NEC Semifinal win against Robert Morris to earn a spot on the All-Tournament team.
Price played in five games in 2012 before her season ended due to injury. She recorded four goals and one assist for five points in her final season. She also played on the women's basketball team as a freshman for the 2007-08 season at Mount St. Mary's before joining the lacrosse program in 2009.
Price is certified as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
A native of White Hall, Md., Price earned her Masters of Business Administration in 2013 and Bachelor of Science in 2011 from Mount St. Mary.
