Rollins College Women's Lacrosse

On May 28, 2025, Tom Kienle was named the second head coach in the history of Rollins Women's Lacrosse following 18 years as an assistant to the program alongside Dennis Short. Under his guidance, the lacrosse program reached the national semifinals within five years of its inception, helping Rollins jump from a new program to one of the premier lacrosse programs in Division II. He was named IWLCA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in both 2009-10 and 2011-12. A Long Island native, Kienle attended Ohio State University before earning his B.A. in Healthcare Administration and M.A. in Educational Leadership from institutions in the Orlando area. In 1993, he started the varsity boys' lacrosse program at Lake Howell High School, followed by the girls' varsity program in 1997. For twelve years, his teams won multiple district and conference championships with many players earning All-American honors and continuing at the collegiate level. He has been involved in camps and youth lacrosse organizations across Florida and works as a part-time physical education teacher. Tom lives in Orlando with his wife Rita and their three children, two of whom played for the Rollins women's lacrosse team while earning their Master's degrees, and one who plays on the varsity men's lacrosse team.

Caroline Lamere enters her first season as an assistant coach with the Rollins College women's lacrosse program in 2025. A familiar face to the Tars, Lamere was a standout attacker for Rollins from 2011-2014, helping guide the team to a 52-16 record and back-to-back NCAA Final Four appearances in 2012 and 2013. Following her playing career, Lamere continued to share her passion for the game at Lake Brantley High School, where she was responsible for practice planning, game strategy, and fostering player development. Known during her playing days for her competitive drive and team-first mentality, she brings the same foundation and energy to her role on the sidelines at Rollins.
