“We are thrilled to welcome Coach Enich back to the program,” said Athletic Director Richie Wildenhaus. “Her deep connection to New Albany, commitment to developing student-athletes, and proven track record of success make her an outstanding leader for our girls lacrosse program. We are confident the program will thrive under her guidance.”

Enich expressed her excitement about rejoining the program she once led to the top of the state. “New Albany lacrosse has always been close to my heart,” she said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to return, work with such talented student-athletes, and build on the tradition of excellence this program has.”

The Eagles look forward to a strong future under Coach Enich’s leadership as they prepare for the upcoming season.
