KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State women's lacrosse head coach Laura Maness announced the addition of Jenna Agostino to the Owls' coaching staff on Wednesday. Agostino arrives at KSU after spending the last five seasons as the head coach at Division II Tusculum.
"I am excited for Jenna to join our staff," Maness said. "She brings extensive knowledge and experience that I know will bring out the best in our players. We can't wait for her to get started!"
Under her leadership at Tusculum, the Pioneers landed a total of nine all-conference selections, seven CSC academic all-district at-large selections, with attacker Tia Daniel named South Atlantic Conference scholar-athlete of the year (2023).
Agostino arrived in Greeneville in 2022, taking over a program that had won just eight games in its previous three seasons and left it with consecutive seasons of eight-plus wins in 2025-26 which had not been accomplished since the 2015-16 seasons.
Agostino guided Tusculum to a 9-9 overall record and a 5-5 mark in conference play during the 2026 season, sending them to the SAC tournament for the first time since 2018. Second team all-SAC selection Elisha Stack led the conference in points and assists and ranked 7th in all of Division II with 55 assists.
"I'm incredibly grateful and excited to join the Kennesaw State women's lacrosse coaching staff. I want to thank Laura Maness for this amazing opportunity," said Agostino. "I'm looking forward to building relationships with the team and helping this program reach its fullest potential! I can't wait to get to work, go Owls!"
Prior to Tusculum, Agostino served as an assistant coach for two seasons at Division III DePauw University, located in Greencastle, Indiana. The Tigers went 4-2 in 2020 before the year was cut short due to COVID. The following season, the Tigers went 6-4 and 4-1 in North Coast Athletic Conference divisional play. Agostino served under head coach Anne Moelk, who was named the NCAC Coach of the Year.
Agostino also brings head coaching experience at the club level, serving as head coach for Indy United from 2019-21, the 91 Lacrosse Club Team from 2012-16, and the Express Club Team from 2011-12.
A native of Centereach, New York, Agostino played collegiately at nearby Stony Brook (2012-15). She had her best season in 2014, starting all 21 games for the Seawolves and picking up 35 ground balls and causing 22 turnovers as a member of the number one defense in the nation.
Over her four years as a defender in Stony Brook, the Seawolves won three America East championships and went to three NCAA tournaments. Agostino graduated from Stony Brook in 2015 with her bachelor's degree in business management with a marketing focus.
