Holy Cross head women's soccer coach Ben Graham has announced two staffing updates for the program headed into the 2026 season.

Chris Wasilewski has been promoted to associate head coach and Cat Klein will return as an assistant coach after a prior stint with the program. 

Wasilewski will be entering his fifth season on the Hill in 2026. This past fall, he helped guide the Crusaders to six victories, a Patriot League tournament appearance and the program's first ever home playoff game. 

During his tenure, Wasilewski has mentored three All-Patriot League selections and seven College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honorees. 
"Chris' elevation to the associate head coach position is a reflection of the incredible hard work he does with our student-athletes on a day-to-day basis. The value that he brings to this program is immeasurable and our growth as a program owes a lot to the hard work that he puts in every single day," Graham said. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have him as part of this program,". 

Klein returns to Holy Cross after previously spending two seasons as the goalies coach in 2023 & 2024. During that time, she mentored Julia Walsh who ranks third in program history in goals against average (1.21) and tied for sixth in shutouts (10). 

"We are also delighted to welcome Cat back to the group. Whilst we have missed her for nine months, we cannot help but be impressed by her commitment to her country and a calling that is bigger than all of us. We are delighted to get her back and I know the goalkeepers are especially happy to see her return," Graham added. 

The Crusaders' 2026 schedule will be announced at a later date.
