Bianca Chevarie enters her second season as an assistant coach on William & Mary’s staff.
While Chevarie is instrumental in all areas of the program, her primary responsibilities include serving as the defensive coordinator.
Chevarie played a significant role in W&M’s success during her first year in Williamsburg, as the program tied its second-highest win total during the last nine years and won multiple conference games for just the second time in the last 12 seasons.
In addition to the victories, W&M also posted one of the program’s most successful seasons statistically in recent years, as it ranked among the Tribe’s single-season top-10 lists in points per game (16.12 / 7th), points (258 / T9th), goals (185 / 10th), goals per game (11.56 / 10th), and draw controls per game (12.75 / 10th). Additionally, W&M ranked second in the CAA in ground balls per game (18.31).
A number of Tribe standouts also posted remarkably successful campaigns, which was highlighted by Paige Gilbert who earned all-conference honors after ranking fourth on the program’s single-season list for draw controls (60). Additionally, Kate Draddy (55 draw controls / 8th) and Ainsley Huizenga (23 assists / T9th) ranked among the program’s single-season top-10 lists. Defensively, Jaylin Locke ranked ninth in the CAA in caused turnovers per game (1.38), while she ranked sixth in during conference play (1.75).
W&M also excelled in the classroom, as 30 standouts earned CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor accolades during the spring semester, while 14 members of the squad garnered W&M's Provost Award for academic excellence and 10 were named to the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll. Additionally, four Tribe standouts earned College Sports Communicators (CSC) At-Large Academic All-District honors.
A former member of the Canada National Team and an All-America standout at Syracuse University, Chevarie joins the Tribe’s staff after an impressive playing career and serving as an assistant with multiple elite club teams.
Chevarie gained significant experience at the international level as a member of the Canada National Team and helped the squad win silver medals at the 2022 Senior Women’s World Championship, 2019 U19 World Championship and 2017 Senior Women’s World Championship.
A team captain at Syracuse, Chevarie was a three-year starter for the Orange and earned All-America and All-ACC honors as a senior. She finished her career with 109 ground balls, 71 caused turnovers, 28 draw controls and 23 points (14g, 9a).
Chevarie served as an assistant with Aces Elite Girls Lacrosse Club (2024) and 315 Elite Lacrosse Club (2022-24), while she also worked numerous SU lacrosse camps during the last four years.
A native of Brantford, Ontario, Chevarie earned a bachelor’s degree in biology and neuroscience (2023) and a Master’s Level Certificate of Advanced Study in intercollegiate athletic advising and support (2024) from Syracuse. An outstanding student, she garnered Dean’s List honors five times as an undergraduate.
