Katie Shideler

Katie Shideler, a standout lacrosse and field hockey goalkeeper, returns to The College of Wooster as the women’s lacrosse program’s full-time assistant coach. Shideler’s coaching tenure began in October 2023.

As a senior at Wooster, Shideler earned first-team Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association All-Great Lakes Region honors and was the program’s first North Coast Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year since 2004. Shideler ranked in the top-25 nationally with a 52.6 save percentage and surpassed 400 career saves in the NCAC Tournament title game, becoming the sixth Scot to hit that milestone. The two-time first-team All-NCAC goalkeeper played on teams that went 39-10 and played in the championship game of the NCAC Tournament each time it was contested.

In field hockey, Shideler eared second-team National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-Great Lakes Region honors and was elevated to the All-NCAC first-team after helping lead Wooster to the NCAC Tournament final as a sophomore. That year, Shideler ranked seventh nationally with an 84.4 save percentage and led a defense that ranked 37th nationally with a 1.30 goals-against average.

Since graduating from Wooster, Shideler has coached lacrosse at South Mecklenburg High School and with the Charlotte Ambush field hockey club.

Shideler graduated with a degree in mathematics and physics in 2021.
