Senior Jon Kirkwood joined the Wittenberg women's lacrosse coaching staff for the first time before the 2006 season.

Kirkwood was a three-year letterwinner on the Wittenberg football team as a back-up tight end and key special teams performer. Appearing in all 10 games as a senior in 2005, Kirkwood caught a career-high six passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns. He caught a total of eight passes for 126 yards and four touchdowns in his career.

In each of the last three years, a senior student assistant coach has gained valuable experience and given a great deal of time to the women's lacrosse program. In 2004, former football and track athlete Alex White served in that capacity. In 2005, it was former cross country runner and sports information department intern Andy Gallatin.
