CLEMSON, S.C. – Third-year Head Coach Allison Kwolek and the Clemson Lacrosse program announced the 2025 spring schedule on Tuesday alongside ticket options. The Clemson Lacrosse program enters its third year of competition and is looking to make it to the NCAA postseason tournament for the first time in program history.
Ticketing will be on a single-game basis this year. Tickets will begin to go on January 14 to IPTAY donors before being released to the general public on January 16. Tickets will be $10 per adult and $5 for youth tickets and groups of 10 or more. Donors can reach IPTAY and the ticket office at 1-800-CLEMSON with any questions.
The Tigers will host all home games at the newly built Clemson Lacrosse Complex. After it opened this past year, Clemson became the only school in the country with a facility solely dedicated to Women’s Lacrosse. The Clemson Lacrosse Complex features a stadium with 1,000 bleacher seats and artificial turf and a 9,000-square-foot operations complex that includes coaches offices, locker rooms, a player lounge, a nutrition center, a team meeting room and an athletic training room.
In addition to Head Coach Kwolek and third-year Associate Head Coach Bill Olin, the Clemson Tigers hired Assistant Coaches Christina Esposito and Landyn White during the offseason. In addition, the team voted in junior Paris Masaracchia and graduate Katie Castiello as captains for the 2025 campaign.
Esposito is headed to Tigertown after collegiate coaching stints with the Florida Gators and the Stony Brook Seawolves while also having experience coaching club lacrosse in New York. Under Esposito’s guidance, Florida’s offense was one of the most prolific in the nation, scoring 405 goals (17.61 per game). Additionally, she coached a draw control unit that ranked among the top ten nationally. Before beginning her coaching career at Clemson, White was a five-year letter-winner for the UConn Huskies. White was a standout player at UConn, where White earned numerous accolades, including 2024 Big East Goalkeeper of the Year, Inside Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention, USA Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention, IWLCA All-Northeast Region Second Team and Big East All-Tournament Team.
After a successful inaugural campaign for the program, the Tigers followed up with an 11-7 season for their second year. The year was highlighted by a 20-11 walloping of Duke and back-to-back wins over Pitt. The Tigers also received five All-ACC honors, with Regan Byrne, Natalie Shurtleff and Kayla MacLeod being named to the ACC All-Freshman Team, while Masaracchia and Emily Lamparter were both named to the All-ACC Second Team. Masaracchia and Lamparter were awarded NCAA All-Region South First Team and Shurtleff was named to the Second Team. The Tigers ended the season with an RPI of 27 and were the second-highest-ranked Power 5 school to be left out of the tournament.
Clemson will play a total of 17 games during the 2025 season, with 10 being played in the Clemson Lacrosse Complex and nine ACC opponents. The Tigers will meet Vanderbilt, Stetson, Florida, Albany and new ACC foes Stanford and California, all for the first time in program history.
