LOUDONVILLE, NY –  Siena Women's Lacrosse and head coach Abigail Rehfuss have announced the promotion of Danielle Tetreault to Associate Head Coach. A local product graduating from nearby Guilderland High School in 2009 before attending Harvard, Tetreault enters her sixth season on staff with Rehfuss in 2023.
 
"I'm really happy to help promote Danielle to Associate Head Coach," said Rehfuss. "She's been with me throughout my tenure at Siena, and has been such a key component of all the successes our team has had over the last five years – both on the field and in the classroom. Danielle is a rising star in the profession, and will continue to give our program the heart and dedication it needs to be successful."
 
Tetreault - alongside Rehfuss - has twice guided the Saints to the MAAC Championship game (2019, 2021), producing 22 All-MAAC selections over her tenure. She has helped produce two MAAC Players of the Year in Sammy Horton (Goalkeeper, 2018) and Nicole McNeely (Offensive, 2022). In 2022, Siena played host to the MAAC Championships for the first time in program history as they held a share of the MAAC Regular Season Championship for the first time in 17 years.
 
In 2021, she would help lift the Saints to an 11-3 record, putting up the highest single-season win percentage in program history (.786) while also setting a program-record with eight straight victories through the MAAC Semifinals. Despite the 2020 season being unexpectedly shortened, Tetreault helped the Saints finish the year ranked second in the nation in fewest turnovers per-game and the MAAC leaders in clearing percentage.
 
One of the most standout notes of her Siena career so far, Tetreault helped bring the Saints from a one-win MAAC team in 2018 to a new program record 12 wins in 2019 and a win away from the program's first MAAC Championship. Under her guidance, the Green and Gold had seven selected to All-MAAC teams, which is the program's second highest total in the team's 23 year history. Also under her watch, Kerry Gerety and McNeely would each break the single-season scoring record en route to the program's second appearance in the MAAC Championship game and first since 2005.
 
In the classroom, Tetreault has helped promote a strong academic showing from the Saints. Siena was selected for IWLCA Academic Awards each of the last four years, with 2022 being the most successful. The Saints would have 15 individual players named to the IWLCA Division I Honor Roll, a new program record. Siena would also post a 3.67 team GPA. In 2022, the team also set a program record for most selections to the MAAC All-Academic Team and the highest team GPA of any Siena program.
 
Prior to entering the collegiate coaching field, Tetreault played lacrosse at Harvard from 2009-2013, earning Preseason All-American accolades prior to her final two campaigns. A star midfielder, she was recognized as a two-time Ivy League Second Team selection, Ivy League Honorable Mention selection in 2013 and an All-Region First Team member in 2011. Tetreault ranks 9th all-time in Crimson program history with 114 goals in her career and ranks 11th with 139 career points.
 
Tetreault is no stranger to Capital Region lacrosse, having served as the Head Coach for the Albany Elite Lacrosse Organization in Albany, New York. She also previously coached for the New York University Club Lacrosse team and the Brooklyn Lacrosse Organization.
 
A standout at GHS, Tetreault lettered all four years in soccer and lacrosse. She earned U.S Lacrosse All-American honors as a senior and honorable mention as a junior. Tetreault was a two-time first-team Suburban Council All-Star along as well as Times Union and Troy Record All-Star. Tetreault earned U.S Lacrosse Academic All-American status twice at Guilderland. She was the State Tournament Brine Choice Award winner. Tetreault was named both the Times Union and Troy Record Offensive Player of the Year in 2009, also earning a spot on the New York State Tournament All-Tournament Team.
