Grace Sisserson is in her second year as an assistant lacrosse coach at Gardner-Webb University. She joined the Runnin’ Bulldogs after two seasons in the same role at Wofford College.

Sisserson played a role in the start of Wofford’s program, joining the Terriers prior to their first season on the field in 2018. 

Grace Sisserson joined the Wofford women's lacrosse staff as an assistant coach in August of 2017. During her two seasons on staff, the Terriers showed improvement and produced four All-Southern Conference selections – along with two SoCon All-Freshman Team selections.

Sisserson saw Alexandra Foulke, Ally Furnari and Kelsey Thompson each post second-team All-SoCon honors in 2019, with Furnari also collecting All-Freshman accolades.

The Terriers went 2-15 in their inaugural season, playing with a young roster that included 13 freshmen.

Sisserson helped coach junior defender Monica Branch to a Second Team All-SoCon selection, while freshman Hannah Mutch was also placed on the All-Freshman team. Mutch scored the first goal in program history in the opener and was named SoCon Offensive Player of the Week twice on the year. 

A 2017 Winthrop graduate with a bachelor’s degree in sports management and a legal studies minor, Sisserson played lacrosse for the Big South Conference member all four seasons during her college career. The Eagles won a pair of league titles and made two NCAA Division I Tournament appearances during her time in campus. She earned Dean’s List and Presidential Honor Roll recognition during her time at Winthrop as well.

Sisserson was a junior golf intern for the PGA of America in the summer of 2016. She coordinated volunteer and staff schedules for events, organized pairings and tee times, and supervised and facilitated tournament operations dealing with social media, expenses, and sponsorships. From January to May of 2016, she was a marketing and operations intern for Winthrop athletics and in 2013 she spent time helping with Winthrop's gameday operations. 

Sisserson has experience coaching at many clinics and camps. She has helped with the AC Lacrosse summer clinics, Winthrop summer camps, Lambert High camps, and was the U-13 (2013) and U-8 (2012) youth Lacrosse Coach in Suwanee, Ga.
