BOSTON – Brindi Griffin, who led the University of Maryland to the 2017 and 2019 NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse National Championships, joined the Boston University women's lacrosse team as an assistant coach, head coach Lauren Morton announced.

"We are thrilled to welcome Brindi to the program," said Morton. "Brindi brings incredible experience as a player and coach at the highest level. She is a great teacher, enthusiastic leader, and compassionate coach. She has already made an impact and we look forward to her helping us take the program to the next level."

She also helped Maryland clinch the regular season Big Ten title in 2017, '18 and '19. In 2019, Griffin was named to the NCAA and Big Ten All-Tournament Teams.
 
"I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the BU Women's Lacrosse team," Griffin said. "I am thankful to Coach Morton and Coach Clevenger for bringing me on the staff and I'm excited to be a part of the BU family."
