Emerson Foster

Foster joins Virginia Wesleyan after a successful tenure as an assistant coach at Randolph-Macon College, where she helped guide the Yellow Jackets to back-to-back 14-win seasons, tying the program record for most wins in a single year. During her time in Ashland, Foster specialized in coaching the defense and midfield units, mentoring multiple All-ODAC, All-State, and All-Region student-athletes while assisting the team to consecutive ODAC semifinal appearances.

In addition to her work at Randolph-Macon, Foster also served as an assistant coach at Susquehanna University, where she oversaw recruiting efforts, practice planning, and the development of defensive and midfield players. She has also coached with Yellow Jackets South and MFL Lacrosse Club, where she focused on technical skill development and collegiate recruiting preparation for high-level athletes.

A standout player herself, Foster was a four-year starter and two-year team captain at Roanoke College, where she earned numerous accolades including All-ODAC First Team (2019, 2021, 2022), All-State First Team, and All-Region Second Team honors. She helped lead Roanoke to back-to-back ODAC Finals appearances and the program's first NCAA Tournament berth since 2009.

Foster, a Richmond native and graduate of St. Catherine's School, earned her Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science from Roanoke College.
