Sydney McPartlon '23 returns for her third season as an assistant coach and first year in a full-time role with the Union College women's lacrosse team in 2026.
In her two seasons on the sidelines at Union, the Garnet Chargers have posted a combined 24-10 record and a 15-5 mark in the very competitive Liberty League. The squad has reached the conference semifinals in both seasons, including a spot in the conference championship game in 2025.
McPartlon returned to the Union sidelines after a decorated four-year career with the women's lacrosse team at Union. Despite missing essentially two full seasons due to pandemic and injury, she finished her career with 95 goals and 21 assists for 116 points in just 31 games. During the pandemic-shortened 2021 season, the attacker averaged nearly four points per game with 27 goals and seven assists in just nine contests to earn her first All-Liberty League honor. As a senior captain, she netted 45 goals with 10 assists for 56 points to earn her second All-Liberty League second-team selection in addition to the school's Robert M. Ridings Memorial Award as the senior female athlete of the year.
McPartlon graduated from Union in 2023 with a degree in environmental policy.
