DOMINICAN NAMES CORRETJER HEAD WOMEN’S LACROSSE COACH

Orangeburg, N.Y. (6/5/26) Dominican University of New York Director of Athletics, Joseph S. Clinton, has announced the hiring of Aleya Corretjer as the new head coach of the women's lacrosse team.  Corretjer becomes the fifth head coach of the program.

"We are very excited to have Aleya take over at the helm of our women's lacrosse program," said Clinton.  "Her dynamic personality, charisma and passion for the sport of lacrosse really stood out during her interview and it made her the perfect candidate to take our women's lacrosse program to the next level."

Corretjer has coached lacrosse at Metro Girls Lacrosse Club for the past five year where she coached players from 5th grade through high school juniors. Also, for the past three years she was the Varsity Head Coach at Ethical Culture Fieldston School in the Bronx, where her team won the Ivy League Championship in 2025 and 2026.  Prior to that she volunteered with the women's lacrosse program at SUNY New Paltz.

Corretjer was also a member of the Puerto Rico National Lacrosse Team and competed in the World Championship Qualifiers in June 2025.

"Honored, grateful, and excited to begin this new chapter as Head Lacrosse Coach at Dominican University New York," said Corretjer.  "I'm eager to build strong relationships, help our student-athletes reach their full potential, and work alongside a community committed to excellence. Looking forward to the journey ahead and everything we will accomplish together. The work starts now."  

Corretjer played collegiate lacrosse at Pace University where she was a part of the 2023 team that made history for both the program and University by winning the school's first NCAA National Championship. That year she was named the DII Attacker of the Year, the NE10 Attacker of the Year and was an IWLCA First Team All-American selection. She still holds records at Pace for most assists in a game, season, career and most points in a season.

Corretjer graduated from North Rockland High School in 2018 where she played at the Varsity Lacrosse level since 8th grade. During her five years she helped the team win three Section Championships. She was a high school All-American, the 2018 Rockland County Female Athlete of the Year and Journal News Player of the Year.
