Marina Miller 2025-26 Women's Lacrosse Staff

The Notre Dame women’s lacrosse program is excited to announce the newest addition to their coaching staff, Marina Miller. Miller joins the Fighting Irish after spending the last two seasons at Davidson and Clemson.

“We are excited to announce the addition of Marina to our staff,” said Head Coach Chris Halfpenny. “She has learned under excellent mentors that I have great respect for at Penn State, Richmond, Clemson, and Davidson, as both a player and assistant coach. We’re looking forward to her using those experiences to develop our players and team as we compete for conference and national titles. Her passion for coaching, her IQ and love for the game, and her strong communication skills are all qualities that will help her be successful as our next assistant coach.”

After graduating from Clemson in 2023, Miller stayed with the Tigers to serve as an assistant coach for the program for the 2024 season. In addition to serving as a coordinator of the defensive unit, Miller was key to the program’s draw strategy and success in 2024 as the Tigers were among the top 15 in the nation in draw control percentage and draw controls per game.

In June of 2024, Miller started as an assistant coach at Davidson, helping guide the Wildcats to a 12-5 record in the 2025 season.

Miller started her college career at Penn State before playing the next three years at Richmond, where she was a captain in 2022 for her senior season. Miller finished her undergraduate degree at Richmond before joining former Richmond head coach Allison Kwolek at Clemson for her graduate season while competing for the Tigers on their inaugural team in 2023.

A captain at Clemson, Miller started all 18 games and scored 23 goals with 11 assists as she closed out her playing career. She also won 33 draw controls and was selected for the 2023 Senior All-Star Team and the South’s All-Region Second Team.

Originally from Pittsburgh, Pa., Miller went to Pine-Richland High School where she was a four-year letter winner and two-time team captain. She led her lacrosse team to back-to-back Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic League (WPIAL) titles and ended her high school career as Pine-Richland’s all-time leading scorer with 325 goals and 94 assists.

“I am excited and honored to join the Notre Dame women’s lacrosse program” said Miller. “Competing against Notre Dame in the ACC was a memorable highlight in both my collegiate and coaching career, and I respect Chris and the incredible program she has built. Chris has a clear vision for the successful future of Notre Dame lacrosse, and I look forward to contributing to the goals and high standards she has set. I am thankful to Chris, Caroline, Katie, the support staff, and the athletic department for the opportunity to join the ranks of such a renowned program and University. I can’t wait to meet our players and get to work bringing my passion for the sport and competition back to the ACC. Go Irish!”
