Clemens enters her first season with the Saints after beginning her tenure on September 26, 2023.
Clemens (Martin) had spent the previous four seasons building up the Saint Rose women’s lacrosse program. Beginning in September of 2020, Clemens started from the bottom up and eventually led the Golden Knights to an eight-win improvement crossing the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
Historically, it marked the first winning season for the program at 9-8. Along the way, Saint Rose defeated three nationally-ranked opponents including #18 New Haven, #16 Bentley, and #23 Saint Anselm’s.
Academically, the program achieved high honors as it was named an Academic Merit Squad by the IWLCA in 2022. The Golden Knights finished third among all Division II women’s lacrosse teams academically with a combined GPA of 3.63. It also received the highest team academic excellence award in the Northeast-10 conference.
Prior to that tenure, Clemens spent three seasons as the assistant coach at RPI where the Engineers qualified for the Liberty League Tournament and reached the 2018 Semifinals.
Prior to entering the collegiate coaching field, Clemens starred as a First Team All-American at UAlbany in her senior season where the Hampden, Mass. native tallied a program single-season record 109 points including 63 goals and 46 assists. That spring, Martin was nominated for the Tewaaraton Trophy as a senior.
She was drafted by the Long Island Sound of the United Women’s Lacrosse League (UWLX) after she closed her Great Danes’ career with 219 points (137 goals and 82 assists).
