LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ - Rider University head lacrosse coach Caroline Pape has announced the hiring of Lexi Pitkevits as assistant coach ahead of the 2026 season.
 
"I am thrilled to have Lexi join our coaching staff and can't wait to see the positive impact her personality and knowledge has on the program and our players," said Pape. "Her ability to connect, and the genuine care she has, along with her competitiveness and ambition holistically cultivate the type of program we will continue to establish. Lexi will play a huge role in overall player development and recruiting along with the coordination of our draw and defensive units."
 
Pitkevits joins the Broncs, following a season as Pape's lead assistant at Moravian, helping the Greyhounds to a 10-8 overall record, including a 6-3 record in Landmark Conference play. Pitkevits was mainly responsible for the defense, draw team, and recruiting, resulting in the Greyhounds allowing three fewer goals per game than the season before.
 
In 2024, Pitkevits was on the sidelines at Wilkes University as an intern with the Colonels. This came after a four-year playing career at Albright College. In 2021, she led the team and ranked seventh in the MAC Commonwealth with 15 caused turnovers.
