CINCINNATI - Head women's lacrosse coach Brittney Morris announced the final two additions to her inaugural staff on Thursday afternoon.
Alexis Rich and Kyle Morris will both join the lacrosse program as Assistant Coaches along with Megan Patrick who was hired in August to round out the staff ahead of Brittney Morris' first season leading the Musketeers.
Alexis Rich joins the staff after wrapping up her collegiate career at the University of Cincinnati in May of 2025. She was a four-year starter for the Bearcats as a defender, earning a spot on the AAC All-Conference Second Team as a junior. As a senior, Rich was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team ahead of the Bearcats' first season in the conference. She finished her career with 91 ground balls, 62 caused turnovers, five draw controls and a goal.
"I'm excited to welcome Alexis to our staff," said Morris. "She brings not only great experience and defensive knowledge, but also a creativity that will elevate our team. Her ties to Cincinnati make her an even stronger fit, and I know our players will benefit from both her perspective and her passion for the game."
In her junior year, Rich led the team with 29 ground balls and 18 caused turnovers. As a senior, she led the team once again with 26 caused turnovers and was second on the squad with 28 ground balls. Her 1.53 caused turnovers per game led the Big 12 in 2025.
Rich was a youth lacrosse coach for Triple Threat Elite Lacrosse in Hillsborough, N.J., where she mentored 14-15 year old athletes in skill development, team dynamics and sportsmanship. She was responsible for leading training programs and game strategies.
While at Cincinnati, Rich was a member of the Black Student-Athlete Alliance where she advocated for African American representation in athletics. She was elected by her team to be a part of the women's lacrosse leadership team at UC. Rich was also selected into the IWLCA Students of Color Leadership Training Academy where she participated in personal and professional development as well as leadership training with other student-athletes.
The North Brunswick, N.J., native graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a bachelor's degree in communications in May of 2025.
Kyle Morris joins the staff from St. Mary's College of Maryland where he spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach for the women's program and one season with the men's program. He helped lead the SMCM women's team to four-straight United East Conference Championships.
"We are very fortunate for the opportunity to complete our staff with Kyle," said Brittney Morris. "He brings a wealth of knowledge and proven experience in women's lacrosse, and his expertise will add tremendous value to our program."
In four seasons at SMCM, Morris mentored 17 All-Conference selections between both the men's and women's programs including one male player of the year and two female players of the year.
Prior to his time with the Seahawks, Morris spent four seasons at Oglethorpe University as the assistant men's and women's lacrosse coach before being promoted to the head men's lacrosse coach in September 2020. At Oglethorpe, he mentored 10 All-Conference selections.
Morris spent one season as the men's lacrosse assistant coach at York College of Pennsylvania. He worked as both the offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for the Spartans where he mentored five All-American selections.
He began his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater, Shorter University, in June of 2015 and spent one season as an assistant coach for the Hawks.
The Orlando, Fla., native graduated from Shorter in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in fine arts and a minor in photography. Morris was a four-year starter on the men's lacrosse team at Shorter.
