"As a parent, I watched Coach Concheck take over my daughters D1 team, a team that was a perennial cellar dweller, and lead them to the most wins in program history her senior year. Was she demanding at times, yes. Did she expect the best they had out of them, yes. Were their difficult discussions at times, yes. But all of this took place in a culture where the players knew she cared about them and their successes not just as athletes but as human beings. Kara brought a culture of mutual respect, caring and fun to a team that had none of that. I will never forget how she spoke about the seniors on senior day, off the cuff, and how she nailed exactly who every one of those young ladies were as athletes and people. As a parent, you hope that your child's coach is fair and that they have the mindset to help develop their athletes into great people who can go out into the world with confidence and hope. I'm a big believer in leaving a place or a person better than what it was when you got there and I can confidently say that Kara has done that wherever she has been."

"Coach Kara has been amazing to these girls at Winthrop. She accepted a tough situation coming in right before the season a few years back and has made the most with the players left over from that staff. She has a vision for the future and is gradually building an increasingly positive culture within the women’s lacrosse program. Kara pushes the athletic department for things the program needs and advocates for her players constantly. With her first true recruiting class coming in this year exciting things are on the horizon for Winthrop Lacrosse. "

"Kara is new to our program but has had an immediate positive impact. She connects with the players and has given a renewed energy to the program that was desperately needed. She has a great outlook on things. She is a lot of fun, but she can also be tough (but fair)."
