Caroline McGuire & Caroline Yanofsky (aka CJ - for your convenience) are so thrilled to be part of the Boston College Lacrosse staff. Below is some background about us!
Caroline McGuire:
Caroline comes to Boston College after serving as the assistant lacrosse coach at Davidson College where the 2008 squat enjoyed a successful 11-5 record. Before Davidson McGuire was the director and assistant coach for the NewLax Lacrosse Club in Darien, CT. After a year of working at the high school level, Caroline decided to join the corporate world in good 'ole NYC, where she was a sales planner for Metro Networks/Westwood One. She quickly realized she missed lacrosse and knew she needed to get back into coaching. That's when she made the move down south to Charlotte, NC to help guide the Wildcats in 2008.
A native of Darien, CT, McGuire attended the University of Richmond where she led the Spiders to Atlantic 10 conference titles in 2005 and 2006, while also appearing in the NCAA tournament both seasons. After leading her squad to a win in the Atlantic 10 Championship, McGuire was featured in May 2006 Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd". Elected a captain during her senior season, McGuire was named A-10 Offensive Player of the Year in 2006 and was named an IWLCA/US All-American. She was also awarded Most Outstanding Player of the A-10 Tournament in 2006 & 2005.

Both are Boston College Alums who will probably be at every BC game - decked out in their VERY old school Boston College attire.
CJ Yanofsky:
CJ joins the BC staff this season after graduating this past spring from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. CJ was a four year varsity letter winner and was named captain her senior year. CJ broke the school record for assists and led the Bantams in points for three years. She was named to the 2007 and 2008 All-New England Small College Athletic Conference First Team and the IWLCA/US Lacrosse All-American Team. She was selected to the IWLCA/US Division III All-Berkshire Regional First Team, the womenslacrosse.com Division III All-American Team and was named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III All-New England First Team.
Yanofsky, a three-time, all-regional and two-time, All-NESCAC and All-American honoree, will be a great asset to Boston College with her extensive attack knowledge. Yanofsky, the recipient of Trinity's Robin L. Sheppard award, for outstanding ability on the field and exceptional dedication and loyalty to the game of lacrosse, is an alumna of The Rivers School, in Weston, MA. Yanofsky graduated from Trinity with Faculty Honors with a degree in Sociology and Visual Studies.
