Guiney Meighan Guiney completed her second season at the helm of the Franklin Pierce University women's lacrosse team in 2008. Guiney also serves as the head coach of the school's field hockey program. Guiney led the Ravens to a 3-13 overall record and a 1-9 mark in the very competitive Northeast-10 Conference in her second season as head coach. The team made vast improvements, including shattering the school record for goals in a season, thanks in large part to Guiney's first full recruiting class, which accounted for nearly 73 percent of the team's goals in 2008. Freshman Lauren Stille led the conference in scoring during the regular season and was the first Franklin Pierce women's lacrosse player to be named NE-10 Freshman of the Year, while classmate Jordan Baillargeon became only the second Raven to earn All-Conference honors with a spot on the second team. In her first season as head coach of the Ravens, Guiney guided the team to a 2-15 record, including a 1-9 mark in the Northeast-10. The two victories were the first for the program since the 2004 season.
