A veteran of collegiate lacrosse, as a player and a coach, and a two-time member of Canadian World Cup teams, Kylee White brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the sidelines at Loyola.
In her first year with the Greyhounds, White will coach the Loyola defense after spending the 2008 season in the same capacity at her alma mater, The Ohio State University.
White and fellow Loyola Assistant Coach Dana Dobbie are teammates on the Canadian National Team that is training for the 2009 World Cup in Prague, Czech Republic. Prior to spending 2008 with the Buckeyes, White was an assistant for three seasons at Stanford.
She helped the Buckeyes to a 10-8 record last season, and under her guidance, the team finished 11th nationally in ground balls per game.
She returned to Columbus after three seasons on the staff at Stanford where she helped the Cardinal to three Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Championships. Stanford became the first program west of the Mississippi to earn a bid to the NCAA Division I Championships.
White was also an assistant coach of Canada's U-19 team that finished fourth in the 2007 World Championships. Four of the players White coached were named to the All-World Team after the competition.
A native of London, Ontario, Canada, White has played in two International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations (IFWLA) World Cups for her native country. In 2001 and 2005, she helped the Canadians to a pair of fourth-place finishes.
In the 2005 tournament, White ranked in the top five for caused turnovers per game and was nominated for the All-World team.
A four-year letterwinner at Ohio State, White (then Kylee Reade) was a four-time Ohio State Scholar-Athlete selection and was honored as an Academic All-Big Ten performer on three occasions.
She helped the 2002 Buckeyes squad to an 11-5 mark and second-place finish in the American Lacrosse Conference. As a junior in 2001, White caused 28 turnovers, and entering the 2007 season her 60 career caused turnovers and 123 ground balls were ranked sixth on the all-time Ohio State lists.
White was a two-year member of the Ohio State Student-Athlete Advisory Board, and in addition to playing lacrosse, she was a standout ice hockey player. She served as co-captain of the inaugural Ohio State women's varsity ice hockey team in 1999-2000.
White, who earned her bachelor of science degree in education in 2002, is married to Todd White.
