GREENSBORO, N.C. --- The Guilford College athletics department announces Jordan (Clodfelter) Bowers '08 as the new women's lacrosse head coach.

"It means a lot to come back since Guilford has always felt like home, so for me it's like a homecoming," Bowers said. "I loved my time at Guilford and I am thrilled to be coming back."

Bowers returns to Guilford after leading the women's lacrosse program at Catawba College for eight seasons from August 2012 through September 2020. Between Catawba and Guilford, she was an assistant coach at U-32 High School in East Montpelier, Vermont.

"I'm pleased to welcome Jordan Bowers as the new head coach of women's lacrosse at Guilford," Bill Foti, Director of Athletics said. "She has a proven track record with 12 years of collegiate coaching experience including 8 as a head coach. Also, as a Guilford alum and highly decorated All-ODAC athlete, she brings a unique perspective to our athletic department. This experience should make for a smooth transition for both our team and our recruiting efforts."

Over eight seasons, Bowers led the Catawba Indians to a 62-65 record with two seasons winning over 11 games. She led Catawba to two South Atlantic Conference (SAC) tournaments including making it to the semifinals in 2018. Additionally, Bowers coached three SAC Freshman of the Year honorees and over 42 All-Conference members.

Prior to Catawba, Bowers was an assistant coach at Pfeiffer University from 2010-2012 and an assistant coach for Guilford from 2009-10. In her playing career, Bowers started every game she played in at Guilford and was named All-ODAC all four years.

In the record books at Guilford, Bowers ranks 10th in career points, 11th in goals and tied for seventh in assists. In 2006, she was a Team USA member for the Down Under Challenge and was part of the National Tournament in 2005 on the Southeast Super Region Team.

Bowers graduated from Guilford in 2008 with a bachelors in Exercise and Sport Science with a minor in Psychology.

"I've talked to Becki Haislip and it was great to catch up. Her and I have worked numerous times together so it is exciting to work with her once again," Bowers added. "I've talked to all the players and they seem excited. We are just excited to get back to campus and get started."
