Pam Goode Will Lead the MBU Women's Lacrosse Team

Missouri Baptist University Director of Athletics, Thomas Smith, has announced the hiring of Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach Pamella Goode. Coach Goode is a graduate of University of Bridgeport (CT) with a BA in Political Science. Coach Goode continued her education at the University of New Haven School of Business (CT) where she received her master’s in Sports Management.

In 2003 Pamella got a taste of Higher Education when she was employed at Yale University in Events Management. Since then she has served at Central Connecticut State University where she was Assistant to the Senior Associate Athletic Director and Assistant Women’s Lacrosse Coach. Coach Goode has also been the Head JV Basketball Coach at Valley Regional High School (CT) since 2004. Pamella played both Varsity Lacrosse and Basketball at the collegiate level.

Coach Goode will have the responsibility of leading a first year Varsity Lacrosse program at MBU, a job she is more than confident and capable of doing. “I thank God for the opportunity to be the Head Coach at Missouri Baptist University. It is truly a blessing! I am very excited about building and developing the lacrosse team. I will work very hard to make the program a success. I am a competitor and I do not like to lose, so I plan to recruit the best athletic players who are academically strong, spiritually grounded with a sense of community involvement. These qualities will be our keys to success” stated Coach Goode in an interview.

Coach Goode will bring her East Coast style of Lacrosse to the Midwest and a City that has already embraced the sport. “I have already been recruiting. I am very encouraged to hear of the interest from recruits about the possibilities of competing at Missouri Baptist University” said Goode. “I am looking for student athletes that will be a fit with the program and the University. My philosophy is based on respect for God, the University, Coaches, teammates and trust in one another."
