Shannon Burke
	Assistant Coach

A former All-American at Notre Dame, Burke joins Stevenson for her first season as an assistant women's lacrosse coach in 2010, working with the team as a defensive specialist.

A four-year letterwinner, team captain and 2003 all-state honorable mention selection in field hockey at Roland Park Country School where she helped the Red Chili Peppers win conference championships in 2002 and 2004, Burke will also assist with the Mustangs' field hockey team.

A 2009 graduate of Notre Dame with a bachelor of arts degree in sociology, Burke became the fifth player in school history and first defender to earn IWLCA/US Lacrosse First Team All-America honors as a senior. She was also selected to the IWLCA/Under Armour North-South Senior All-Star Game.

Burke was named the team's top defender after totaling a school record 44 caused turnovers to go along with a career and team-high 60 ground balls as the Irish won a school record 16 games, captured the team's first-ever BIG EAST title and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship. Notre Dame also finished the year ranked at No. 6, its highest-ever national ranking.

A two-time All-BIG EAST and All-West/Midwest All-Region selection, Burke finished her career second on Notre Dame's all-time caused turnovers list with 106, just one shy of the school record, in 70 games, 57 of which were starts. She is also third with 139 ground balls and 124 draw controls. During her four seasons, the Irish went 54-22 and participated in three NCAA tournaments.

Burke is a native of Timonium and 2005 graduate of Roland Park Country School where she was a three-sport standout in field hockey, basketball and lacrosse. She earned all-metro and all-state honors as a junior and senior in addition to being named player of the year by
the Baltimore Messenger.
