Kristin Igoe
Kristin started playing lacrosse in 9th grade at Framingham High School. Between her junior and senior year, the Flyers went 50-0 and won two state championships. She was a two-time All-American, an Under Armour All-American, and the 2007 Boston Globe Player of the Year.
Who was Kristin’s favorite teammate from the 2007 Flyers lacrosse team? Tanner Guarino! From sharing a field, to now running Gold Star together, Kristin and Tanner have been best friends for decades. And not to mention they are also family (Kristin is married to Tanner’s brother).
After high school, Kristin went on to play midfield at Boston College. During her freshman year, she tore her ACL and received a medical redshirt. Determined to return to form, from 2009-2012 she helped lead the Eagles to new heights. Kristin became the first player in ACC and BC history to be named to the All-ACC team four years in a row. In 2011, BC made the 16-team NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. That same year, Kristin was named an IWLCA 1st team All-American, another first for BC. For her final year in 2012, she
was a captain, a Tewaraaton Award finalist, and an IWLCA 2nd team All-American. She ended her career as BC’s all-time leading goal scorer (168) and top 5 in all other categories (assists, points, ground balls, draw controls). Kristin graduated from Boston College’s undergraduate program in 2011 with a bachelors degree in biochemistry, and graduate program in 2012 with a Masters in Education.
In 2024, Kristin was inducted into the BC Varsity Club Hall of Fame
Kristin was a member of the United States Women’s National Team from 2010-2014. In 2012 she was named to the 24-player Touring Team, and in 2013 she was named to the 18-player World Cup Team. In July 2013, Team USA competed in the FIL World Cup in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. USA won the gold medal, beating Canada in the final game 19-5. Throughout the ten-day tournament, Team USA went a perfect 7-0, outscoring all opponents 131-39. In addition to playing, Kristin has coached many youth and high school clinics all over the country with Team USA.
In 2013, Kristin was named head coach of the varsity girls lacrosse team at Franklin High School. In fourteen years at the helm, she has helped the Panthers compile a 223-57 overall record, including fourteen undefeated Hockomock league championships and four Division 1 East Sectional championships. Kristin has led Franklin to three state-semi final berths, and one state final appearance in 2021. She has helped coach numerous league all-stars, league MVPs and USA Lacrosse All-Americans. The best part about coaching at Franklin high school for Kristin is the continued relationships with players and parents. Several Franklin alums are close friends and now coaches at Gold Star.
