Nate Medic was named the first head coach in St. Catherine University women’s lacrosse program history in May 2026, taking over leadership of the newly established program ahead of its first season of competition in spring 2028.
Medic will oversee all aspects of the program’s development, including recruiting the Wildcats’ first roster, building the team’s culture, establishing practice and competition standards, and preparing St. Kate’s for its inaugural season.
Medic brings experience at the collegiate, high school, and club levels. He comes to St. Kate’s after serving as an assistant coach with the women’s lacrosse program at George Mason University, an NCAA Division I institution. During his time with the Patriots, Medic worked primarily with the goalies, transition play, and defensive units. He was named defensive coordinator for the 2024 season, helping George Mason open the year with a program-record five consecutive wins and earn its first Atlantic 10 Tournament appearance since 2019.
Prior to his time at George Mason, Medic served as the head girls’ lacrosse coach at Colonial Forge High School. He led the program to a 60-12 record, two district championships, two region championships, and a 2021 Virginia 6A State Runner-Up finish. His coaching honors include two District Coach of the Year awards, three Region Coach of the Year selections, and FLS All-Area Coach of the Year recognition.
Medic graduated from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Education, with a focus on health and physical education. At Slippery Rock, he was a three-year member of the men’s club ice hockey team after beginning his collegiate career at Bethany College, where he was a member of the men’s lacrosse team.
