Patty Kloidt is in her 17th year and owns a record of 192-88 (.686 win percentage) as the head women’s lacrosse coach at Hamilton College.

In 2018 the Continentals were ranked 12th in the preseason coaches poll, played in the NESCAC championship quarterfinals and had two players on the all-region team.

Kloidt has led the Continentals to the postseason 15 times in 16 seasons, including seven trips to the NCAA tournament. Hamilton has appeared in the NESCAC championship six times in seven years under Kloidt and advanced to the semifinals in 2012, 2013 and 2017. She has coached 14 athletes to a total of 21 all-America honors and nine players have made the NESCAC all-conference team.

The Continentals finished with a record of 12-6 and received an at-large bid to the NCAA championship under Kloidt in 2017. Hamilton tied for first place in the NESCAC standings with an 8-2 conference record, earned the No. 2 seed for the NESCAC championship and advanced to the semifinals. The eight conference wins and No. 2 seed are the best results in the team's seven years in the NESCAC. The Continentals were ranked as high as eighth in the coaches poll at the end of the regular season before they ended up at No. 14 in the final poll. Hamilton boasted a first team all-American, six all-region honorees and three all-conference selections.

Kloidt coached a pair of all-Americans, four all-region players and three all-NESCAC selections in 2016. The team won 10 games, including a victory against eventual NCAA Division II champion Florida Southern, and earned a spot in the conference championship quarterfinals. Kloidt picked up her 200th coaching victory in a 20-6 rout of Connecticut College on April 16.

Kloidt guided the Continentals to the regional semifinals (third round) of the 2015 NCAA championship after they won in double overtime at defending national champion Salisbury University in the second round. The Hamilton women were ranked 12th in the final poll and finished the season with a record of 12-6. The Continentals landed in fourth place in the NESCAC standings with a 7-3 mark and hosted a conference championship quarterfinal. Kloidt coached an all-American, four all-region honorees and a NESCAC all-conference team selection that year.

2008 the Continentals won their first NCAA title in program history and Kloidt was voted the Division III Coach of the Year by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) in her sixth year at Hamilton. She posted her 100th career head coaching victory against Middlebury College in a 2008 NCAA quarterfinal at home.
