Molly Bresnahan enters her first season as an Assistant Women's Lacrosse Coach at the Academy.
Bresnahan is a 2024 graduate of Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) and a graduate student in Danbury during the 2024-25 academic year. She was a member of the Wolves women's lacrosse team for all five of those seasons, serving as the team's starter between the poles in 2024 and 2025. WestConn went 29-9 overall and 14-1 in the Little East Conference (LEC) during those two seasons, winning the LEC Championship in 2025 before losing to Rowan University in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
A local product from nearby Groton, Bresnahan was the 2025 LEC Goalie of the Year and a First Team All-LEC selection following a season in which she posted 182 saves on a .514 save percentage with 8.86 goals against average (GAA). The accolades didn't stop there, as Bresnahan earned IWLCA Second Team All-Region recognition before joining Coast Guard defenderÂ
Ella Campbell (Foxborough, Mass.) as a USA Lacrosse Magazine All-American Honorable Mention. Bresnahan's season also led to her selection as the WCSU Female Athlete of the Year.
Bresnahan also earned All-LEC recognition following her first season as a starter, making Second Team in 2024 with 169 saves, a .484 save percentage, and a 9.95 GAA. Her 400 saves are the fifth-most in WestConn women's lacrosse history, while her .504 career save percentage is the third-best all-time. She was also a member of WCSU's inaugural women's golf team in 2025 and competed in the program's first match.
