Camp Directors

Amy Altig was named the seventh coach in University of Delaware women’s lacrosse program history on June 3, 2019. Altig arrived to Newark following nine seasons at Penn State University, where she spent time as an assistant coach and associate head coach.

Altig has led the Blue Hens to immense success on the field. After her first two seasons in 2020 and 2021 were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, Delaware has qualified for the CAA Championship in three of four years since 2022. The program recorded back-to-back 10-win seasons in 2024-25, achieving the mark for the first time 2016, and UD’s’ 7-1 record to begin the 2024 season was their best start since the 2016 season. Delaware won six CAA games in 2025, the most since joining the conference and the program’s most league wins since 1999.

On March 11, 2022, the Blue Hens defeated then-No. 18 Temple on the road for their first win over a nationally-ranked opponent since 2017. UD saw it’s RPI increase from 67 in 2022 to 48 in 2023. The +19 increase was the second largest in CAA and one of 19 teams with an RPI increase of +19 or better.

Delaware’s student-athletes have taken home plenty of hardware since Altig arrived in Newark. Delaney McDaniel earned CAA Rookie of the Year honors in 2018, UD’s first conference major award winner since 2016. Madison Hranicka was named the CAA Defensive Player of the Year in consecutive seasons (2023-24). The Blue Hens have earned 14 all-conference honors, led by three-straight All-CAA First Team selections by Hranicka (2022-24) and three by Delaney McDaniel. On the national level, Hranicka earned All-America honors in 2024 and all-region recognition in both 2023 and 2024. Erin Gormley was an all-region selection in 2025.

The Blue & Gold have had several statistical achievements with Altig at the helm. In 2025, the Blue Hens led the CAA and ranked sixth nationally in free position percentage (.545) while also ranking eighth in the country in caused turnovers per game (11.19). Against Lafayette in 2024, the Blue Hens set a program record with 26 caused turnovers, also tied their program record in ground balls with 33. Under Altig’s guidance, goaltender Steph Marzsal finish ninth in the country in save percentage (.489) in 2024. Hranicka set the single-season program record in 2023 with 50 caused turnovers.

Prior to Delaware, Altig spent nine years on the sidelines at Penn State, helping lead the Nittany Lions to 111 wins at a clip of .631 with seven NCAA Tournament appearances and two trips to the NCAA Tournament Final Four.

Altig worked mainly with the Nittany Lion goalkeepers and defensive unit. During her tenure, she coached 19 All-Americans, 36 all-region performers, 40 all-conference selections in addition to more than 25 student-athletes who received academic honors. Additionally, PSU boasted three Conference Goalkeepers of the Year under Altig’s guidance.

After helping Penn State to a third NCAA quarterfinal appearance in four years in 2015, Altig was named IWLCA Assistant Coach of the Year and was inducted to the U.S. Lacrosse Virginia Chapter Hall of Fame.

Prior to her time at PSU, Altig held assistant coaching stints at Princeton University (2007-10) and the University of Richmond (2005-07).

As a goalkeeper at James Madison University from 2001-05, Altig led the Dukes to two Colonial Athletic Association titles, was a two-time All-CAA pick and was selected to the North/South STX Senior All-Star Game. A two-time team captain, she also earned a nod to the 2004 CAA All-Tournament Team and still ranks in the Top 12 of three career statistical categories at JMU.

Altig earned a spot on the USA National Team in 2003 and was part of the 2009 USA World Cup Training Team and 2008 USA Prague Touring Team. She also served as a field coach for USA Tryouts from 2015-17. Since 2017, Altig has been the defensive coordinator/goalkeepers coach for the USA National Team.

Kara Nakrasius joined the Delaware women’s lacrosse coaching staff in August 2022 as an assistant coach. She was promoted to associate head coach in June 2025. Nakrasius works primarily with the program’s defensive and draw control units.

Overseeing the defense in 2024, Nakrasius established one of the strongest defensive efforts in recent Blue Hens history during the 2024 season. The Hens defense held opponents to 160 goals collectively, the least number of goals allowed since the 2017 season, excluding any season altered in games played due to COVID-19. Nakrasius would lead the Hens to the seventh most caused turnovers with 167 (since 2000). Additionally, the Hens finished ninth in the country in caused turnovers per game with 10,44. The Hens tied for 22^nd in the country in scoring defense, only allowing 10 goals against per contest. She also saw the rise of Madison Hranicka. Hranicka finished as CAA Defensive Player of the Year for a second year in a row concluding the 2024 season, as well as All-CAA First Team. In addition to her role as a defensive coach, Nakrasius also oversaw the draw group, and Danielle Livornese became the school’s all-time draw control leader, finishing with 223 for her college career. The Hens finished within the top 45 in the country in draw control percentage with a .525 winning percentage. The Hens featured three players that recorded at least 36 draw controls, including the team leader, Sam Schelling who finished 4th in the CAA for draw controls. In total, under Nakrasius’ watch, the Hens finished with five players recording double digits in draw controls, which helped with the season high 22 to 9 draw control win against Monmouth.

In her first season with Delaware, Nakrasius helped Delaware to an 8-8 record and a CAA Tournament berth, while also leading the Blue Hens’ draw control group that shattered the program record for draws in a single season. Delaware finished with 240, besting their 2008 mark of 218. Delaware set a new program record with 26 draw controls in a single-game when they played Old Dominion on Feb. 25, and Livornese tied the individual single-game record and Delaware Stadium record with 12 draw controls. As a team, Delaware was first in the CAA in draw controls per game at 15.00, the second best mark all-time by a CAA team. They had six games in 2023 with at least 20 draw controls, after having entered the season with only five games all-time with 20 draw controls.

Prior to her arrival at UD, Nakrasius was on staff at Quinnipiac as an assistant coach in 2022. During her season with the Bobcats, the defense allowed a league-low 197 goals and ranked second in the MAAC with 8.88 caused turnovers per game.

Nakrasius competed at Temple from 2016-21, where she was a four-year captain for the Owls. She broke the career draw control record with a total of 236 and ranked seventh in program history with 144 ground balls. A five-year starter at Temple, she played four years as a defender before transitioning to midfield/attack for her fifth year.

She was a two-time all-conference selection, earning All-AAC First Team honors in 2019 and second team recognition in 2021. Nakrasius was a four-time winner of the Devon Marie Lam “T” Means More Award which is given to the person who most exemplifies Temple Lacrosse through selflessness, dedication & desire for team success (2017-20). She was also a winner of the Enterprise Spirit & Sportsmanship Award (2017) & Parliament Award (2019) for the student-athlete who has demonstrated a devotion to the essence of sport through their acts of sportsmanship.
