The state of Massachusetts is welcoming another Belichick to the ranks of head coaches.
Amanda Belichick, the daughter of New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, was hired Friday as head coach of the women's lacrosse team at Holy Cross. The school is in Worcester, about 50 miles northwest of Foxborough.
"I am excited and honored to be the next women's lacrosse coach at Holy Cross," Amanda Belichick said. "I look forward to building on the school's great tradition and working with the talented student-athletes in the program."
Amanda Belichick spent the 2014 and 2015 seasons as head coach of the women's lacrosse team at Wesleyan, the alma mater she shares with her father. She helped Wesleyan improve its national ranking from No. 49 in 2013 to as high as No. 17 in 2014, according to Holy Cross' official website.
Belichick takes over a Holy Cross team that finished 4-14 last season and hasn't had a winning record since 2012.
