2024 will be the ninth season Caitlin Wolf has been a member of head coach Meredith Black's staff a Marquette and the fifth as Associate Head Coach.

In eight seasons with Marquette, Wolf has played a key part in developing Marquette's offense into one of the top offensive units in the BIG EAST.

The 2023 season saw Marquette earn its first bid to the NCAA tournament after a 15-4 record and going 5-1 in the BIG EAST, both program bests in wins. The Golden Eagle offense was one of the best in the NCAA, averaging 15.56 goals per game (fifth nationally). MU was third in the nation in shots per game (35.63) and second in draws per game (17.79).

Wolf, who was a part of the BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year, helped Marquette set program records for goals (303), assists (152) and points (455) in a season.

In 2022, Wolf helped the Golden Eagles finish in the top 25 nationally in scoring (14.33), assists per game (6.44), points per game (20.78) and shots per game (32.33). 

The 2022 season ended with Marquette earning its highest-ever seed in the BIG EAST Tournament, going 8-10 overall and 3-2 in conference play to finish tied for second in the regular season standings. The Golden Eagles earned a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament as the 2-seed. 

Wolf was key in the development of attacker Mary Schumar, who in her junior campaign tied Marquette program records in both points (67) and assists (43), while ranking seventh in the nation with 2.39 assists per game. While coaching one of the most effective and efficient offenses in the BIG EAST, she also saw the senior duo of Shea Garcia and Lydia Foust combine for 95 goals and 121 points on the year. 

During Wolf's time with the Golden Eagles, they've been one of the best in the country at securing draw controls. In 2022, MU ranked seventh in the NCAA in draw controls per game with 17.33, while Ellie Henry, Mary Blee and Emma Soccodato all ranked inside of the top seven in the league individually. During the 2019 season, MU ranked No. 1 in the BIG EAST and No. 25 nationally in DC's with an average of 14.56 per game. When Wolf arrived, MU averaged just 8.65 draws per game in 2015 (last in the BIG EAST).

Additionally, the Golden Eagles have boasted the BIG EAST’s leader in draws per game four times during Wolf's tenure. Grace Gabriel did it for the fourth consecutive year after finishing 2019 with 119 draws (6.61 draws/game.).

Her 2021 Golden Eagles ranked second in the conference in goals (214), points (303), and assists (89). MU also boasted a top-40 scoring offense nationally (13.38 goals and 18.94 points per game). A consistent theme under Wolf's tenure in Milwaukee, the Golden Eagles led the BIG EAST in draw controls (226) while turning the ball over just 15.44 times per game, the lowest figure in the BIG EAST.

Wolf proved to be key in the mentorship of draw control specialist Emily Cooper, who earned Second Team All-BIG EAST honors in 2021. The senior midfielder tallied a team-best 96 draw controls in 2021, a mark that ranks her second in the BIG EAST. She tallied multiple DC's in 15 games and had five-or-more DC's on 12 different occasions. She went for eight-or-more DC's in five games. Her 96 DC's on the year are good for No. 3 all-time for a single season in Golden Eagles history. Her 187 career DC's put her at No. 2 all-time in the school record books behind Grace Gabriel (2016-19), who Wolf also coached.

Her 2020 team was on pace for perhaps the best offensive season in program history before it was canceled 10 games in because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Golden Eagles tallied 148 goals and 221 points overall and had seven different players score between 14 and 23 goals, creating a dynamic and balanced attack. Junior attacker Caroline Steller led the bunch with 40 points (23 goals, 17 assists) while freshman Hannah Greving led all BIG EAST freshmen with 14 goals.

MU tied a program-record with 23 goals in a decisive victory over Detroit Mercy and Megan Menzuber broke the single-game program record with seven goals against the Titans. The Golden Eagles reached also double figures in goals in eight of their 10 games in 2020.

Individually, Wolf has aided the growth of her attackers and playmakers overall. In 2017, Julianna Shearer set the BIG EAST record and Marquette record with 55 goals scored en route to a First Team All-BIG EAST nod and IWLCA All-Region honors.

However, that record was short-lived as Grace Gabriel bested the mark by one in 2018. She also set program records for points (67), draw controls (107) and caused turnovers (31) on her way to a slew of postseason honors, including IWLCA All-American, BIG EAST Co-Midfielder of the Year and her second-straight first team all-league honor. Additionally, Cate Soccodato (39; school record) and Riley Hill (34) combined for 73 assists, which ranked in the top-five league-wide and top-25-nationally.

Upon her arrival in 2016, the Golden Eagles increased their scoring output by 49 goals, tying a team record and setting the single-season wins mark with a 7-10 finish. In 2017, the offense made another drastic improvement with a 42-goal gain and another program record with 219 goals (12.88/game) scored. The 2018 season was no different, equating to a 25-goal improvement and 244 goals (13.56/game) scored, which ranked 26th in the nation through the end of the regular season. Wolf helped then-freshman Shea Garcia achieve a breakout 2019 rookie season as she scored 29 goals on the way to BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors.

Off the field, she has been instrumental in the implementation of community service programs the team has been involved in. In both 2017 and 2019, the Marquette University women's lacrosse team was one of three programs in the nation to earn the IWLCA's annual Team Community Awareness Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions by one team from each division on their campus and in their local community.

Wolf joined the Marquette staff following an impressive playing career at the University of Richmond and two seasons as assistant coach at Wagner College. While at Wagner, the Seahawks matched a school-record with 11 wins during the 2014 season en route to its first Northeast Conference championship game appearance.

The North Babylon, N.Y. native spent five seasons at Richmond and capped her career with one of the school’s top single-season performances in program history en route to a first team All-Atlantic 10 selection and a place on the Tewaarton Watch List as a redshirt-senior in 2013. She started every game, recording 72 points, including 24 assists – both of which rank in the school’s all-time single season top-10 lists.

She finished her career fourth on the all-time list in goals (174), seventh in assists (55) and third in points (229) for the Spiders. Wolf was a two-time First Team All-A10 selection, a second team choice in 2011 and an All-Rookie Team honoree in 2009.

Also in 2009, she was a member of the Canadian National Team and earned a Top-34 roster spot in the summer of 2012. In 2016, she made it to the second round of tryouts as Team Canada looked to select its roster for the 2017 FIL World Cup held in London.

Wolf began building a solid coaching foundation while serving as a club coach and college camp counselor since 2008. Since then, she has served as head coach of the Long Island Elite Yellow Jackets’ Club Team where she gained valuable experience running practices and coordinating the offense.

She received her bachelor’s degree in sociology from Richmond and her master’s in education from Wagner.

A graduate of North Babylon High School, Wolf was a two-time US Lacrosse All-American and a two-time Academic All-American.

Wolf currently resides in Milwaukee with her husband, Matt. They were married on Sept. 12, 2020.
