Grand Valley State Director of Athletics, Keri Becker, announced Dominique Hamman as the third women's lacrosse head coach in program history. She will begin her first season at the helm of the Lakers in the spring of 2025.
Hamman was previously the head coach at Daemen University. She was hired in 2022 as the first head coach in program history and led the Wildcats to seven wins in their inaugural season. Daemen had five players earn ECC All-Conference honors. Additionally, she had coached the conference's top goalkeeper in save percentage this past season. In her first season, she coached the league's second ranked player in both total points and assists per game, as well as the ECC's leader in draw controls.
Prior to her time in Amherst, Hamman was the graduate assistant coach at Grand Valley State for two years. During her time, the Lakers went 15-3, including a 12-2 mark during the 2021 season that included the Lakers' first GLIAC tournament championship since 2016. Working primarily with the team's goalkeepers, Hamman oversaw a group that ranked first in the GLIAC and 17th nationally in save percentage. While in Allendale, Hamman coached two All-Americans, six All-Region selections, 12 All-GLIAC players, including the GLIAC Goalkeeper of the Year in 2021.
As a player, Hamman played 64 games and was a four-year letterwinner at Central Michigan University, playing as a member of the first recruiting class for the Chippewas. She was twice named Second-Team All-Conference, posting 21 career wins, to go along with 423 saves and a .450 save percentage. She still holds the program record for saves and wins, and she ranks third in save percentage, and fifth in groundballs with 115.
