"I am excited to continue working with Jordan," Kotowicz said. "She has a tactical mind and a tireless work-ethic that will play an integral role in our pursuit towards excellence. Her impact goes far beyond the field and I am proud to have her representing our program."
In addition to her role at Central Connecticut State, Christopher also served as the head coach with the Philly Blast Lacrosse Club team from 2012 to 2014 and the Nor'easter Lacrosse Club team from 2014 to the present.
