Meg Decker

Meg Decker was named head women’s lacrosse coach in July of 2021. She joined the Musketeers after serving as head coach at Hartford from 2016-21.


In her first season as head coach for Xavier, Decker helped the program to a 4-10 record, Erin Berls and Jessica Harrison to the All-BIG EAST Second Team, and Lola Mancuso to BIG EAST Freshman of the Year. She earned her first win as head coach and the program's first win in a 15-14 victory over Radford on February 24, 2023.


Decker, a two-time All-BIG EAST Conference selection as a player, is certainly no stranger to the league or when it comes to building collegiate women’s lacrosse programs. She built the program from the ground up at Hartford. She helped build Virginia Commonwealth University’s women’s lacrosse program from scratch as an assistant coach, and was a student-athlete on the inaugural women’s lacrosse team at the United States Naval Academy.


Academic success has gone hand-in-hand with improved play on the field during Decker’s head coaching career. The Hartford women’s lacrosse team landed almost 90 percent of its roster on the America East Honor Roll the past two seasons and nearly 75 percent of the roster earned Commissioner’s Honor Roll distinction for achieving a grade point average of 3.5 or higher. During that same period the offensive possession time doubled over the past two full seasons, 2019 and 2021, from 11 minutes to 22 minutes, the team increased its offensive possessions by 50 percent and doubled their goals per game.


In addition to Hartford from 2016-21 and VCU from 2014-16, Decker has coaching experience as the head coach of the Flash Club Women's Lacrosse in Tustin, Calif., and as the director of the Whirlwind Lacrosse Tournament in Newport Beach, Calif. Additionally, Decker is the New England Director for Trilogy's middle school Leadership and Lacrosse camp.


Outside of coaching, Decker served as a multi-year Committee Member and later became Committee Chair for the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Association Convention Planning Committee, planning and leading the annual event for all collegiate women’s lacrosse coaches. She also served on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee for the University of Hartford Department of Athletics. Additionally, Decker was a contributing member of the America East Working Group considering how to best support the mental health of student-athletes through balancing their time obligations in academics and sport.


A native of Baltimore, Md., Decker enjoyed a standout collegiate career as the Division I Rookie of the Year at Navy (2008) and a BIG EAST standout at Loyola (2010-2011), having sat out the 2009 season to satisfy transfer rules. She helped lead Loyola to a school-record 17 wins, the 2011 BIG EAST Championship and an NCAA Quarterfinal appearance in her final season. Decker finished her career with 113 goals and 154 draw controls as a collegian. She was a two-time All-BIG EAST selection at Loyola, which was a BIG EAST member in women’s lacrosse from 2006-13.


After graduating, Decker was invited to the U.S. Lacrosse National Pool Tryouts in 2015. She had also been invited to the tryout in 2008 while still an undergraduate student. In the inaugural draft of the United Women’s Lacrosse League, she was selected by the Philadelphia Force in 2016, where she spent two years as a midfielder. She continued her professional career with the Boston Storm, where she spent one season as a defender.


Decker, who studied chemistry and oceanography while at the Naval Academy, graduated from Loyola in 2011 with a degree in Psychology. She continued her education at Hartford, and will receive her master’s degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology this December.

Lexy Biller

Biller joins the Musketeers after three years at Lindenwood University as a student-athlete.


Lindenwood women's lacrosse saw their first season as a Division I program in the 2023 season. Biller was paramount to the transition and was named to the Second Team All-ASUN. The midfielder broke the program's season draw control record with 128, the career draw control record with 323, and tied the single-game draw control record with 14 against Kent State.


In her first two years at Lindenwood, she helped her team to a Division II national championship, was named Most Outstanding Player in the 2021 NCAA Tournament, was named a first-team USA Lacrosse All-American, earned an All-Region first-team IWLCA selection, an All-GLVC first-team selection, as well as earned IWLCA offensive and defensive player of the week honors, and was named a 2020 Maverik Division II Media third-team All-American.


Prior to Lindenwood, Biller saw action at Louisville in 2017 and Oregon in 2018. During her time at Oregon she broke the program's season draw control record with 114, tied the single-game record with 10 draw controls against No. 7 Syracuse on February 18, and scored 11 goals. Biller finished the 2018 season at second in the Pac-12 and 13th in the NCAA with a 6.33 draw control per game average.


Biller served as a youth lacrosse coach for the Junior Lion's Club and 3D Virignia. During her time with Junior Lion's Club she also operated as the club director.
