Liz Robertshaw enters her seventh season as the head coach of the Boston University lacrosse team for the 2012-13 season. Robertshaw has been a driving force behind the emergence of the Terriers onto the national scene and has led BU to America East tournament in each of her six seasons at the helm and to the title game in her first four seasons.

An 15-year coaching veteran at the Division I level, Robertshaw served as the Terriers' top assistant for three seasons and was elevated to associate head coach before being named head coach on Sept. 1, 2006.

She has also guided the Terriers to perfect seasons in conference play on three occassions (2008, 2009 and 2012).

In 2010, the Terriers secured a 5-1 record in America East regular-season play and won their sixth straight America East championship, advancing to the NCAA tournament for the eighth time since 2000.

As an assistant, Robertshaw served as the team's offensive coordinator and also headed up the Terriers' recruiting efforts. BU has brought in standout recruiting classes in recent years and the team's attack unit has been ranked in the top 10 nationally in two of the past five seasons.

In addition to receiving America East Coach of the Year honors in 2009, Robertshaw was tabbed to coach the North team in the annual IWLCA/Under Armour Division I North-South Senior All-Star Game. In August 2009, Robertshaw was named an assistant coach for the U.S. Women's National Elite Lacrosse Team. She will work with the squad through the 2013 World Cup.
