Boissonneault, the first head coach in Pitt women's lacrosse history, is readying her team for its first foray into NCAA waters this spring. The Panthers will have fall ball to prepare, as a large contingent of transfers will need to mesh before the calendar turns to February.

ALMOST TIME!

Coach @EmBoissonneault’s first pitch is coming up tonight at the @Pirates game! Good luck coach #BuildALegacy
