Colby will create its first named varsity assistant coaching position in women's athletics thanks to a generous donation to the Dare Northward campaign.

With a $1-million gift from Trustee Emeritus Rick McVey, the McVey Family Women's Lacrosse Fund will create and support the endowed coaching position for women's lacrosse. In recognition, Colby will name the assistant women's lacrosse coach in honor of the McVey family as the McVey Family Women's Lacrosse Assistant Coach. It will be named in perpetuity and celebrated as the first endowed varsity women's assistant coaching position at Colby.

Amanda V. DeMartino, the Harold Alfond Director of Athletics, thanked the McVey family for the gift and said it will allow Head Women's Lacrosse Coach Karen Henning to sustain the success she has built over her 18-year career at Colby.
