Warden comes to Arizona State after spending the past three seasons at James Madison, where she served as the offensive coordinator for her Alma Mater. She brings an impressive resume with her to Tempe, having found success at the highest level as both a coach and player.

"I am excited to welcome Coach Warden to the Sun Devil Lacrosse family," Head Coach Taryn VanThof exclaimed. "Haley brings international and professional playing experience, is a great leader and communicator, and continues to blossom as a coach. She understands what it takes to be the best."

Over the course of a brilliant four-year run with the Dukes, Warden established herself as one of the best to ever wear the purple and gold. She capped her playing career in the ultimate fashion, captaining the 2018 team to the NCAA Championship, the first in program history. Warden was named the Most Outstanding Player of the National Championship Game after delivering a four-goal performance in the 16-15 win over Boston College.

"I am honored and humbled to be named assistant coach at Arizona State University," Haley Warden remarked. "I would like to thank Coach VanThof and Sr. Associate AD/SWA Christina Wombacher for this amazing opportunity."

During her three years as part of the coaching staff at James Madison, she assisted in all areas of the women's lacrosse program, including recruiting, coaching, and developing student-athletes. She specifically worked with the draw takers and offensive personnel in skill development, game planning, and overall team concepts.

"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Shelley Klaes and am forever grateful for all that she has done for me," Warden mentioned. "James Madison and Dukes Lacrosse will always hold a special in my heart."

Throughout her three year stint as the offensive coordinator, James Madison maintained the standard set by Warden and the 2018 National Championship team. The Dukes compiled a 31-11 record during that time, appearing and securing victories in the past two NCAA Tournaments.

One of the biggest wins in program history came this past season, with James Madison picking up a monumental victory over No. 3 Maryland on the road. Warden's offense and draw control unit were extremely effective in the 13-8 win, just the fourth victory by the Dukes in the 46-game history of the rivalry.
