The 2025 season marks Bria Braddock's third leading the Westminster women's lacrosse program. After spending the 2023 season as the program's interim head coach, she was named its full-time head coach in May 2023.
Westminster concluded its 2024 season with a 5-11 overall record, a 4-5 mark in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) and advanced to the PAC Championship Tournament quarterfinal round. The Titans finished the 2023 season 5-11 overall and 3-6 in the PAC.
A Beaver Falls native, Braddock stepped into the interim role in September 2022 after spending time as an assistant coach at Blackhawk High School in 2021 and 2022. She helped lead the Cougars to a 27-4 overall record, a Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) Class 2A runner-up finish in 2021 and a semifinal finish in 2022. Braddock has also been coaching with the girls program at True Lacrosse Pittsburgh since 2019.

A three-time First Team All-PAC selection, she was named the league's defensive player of the year after helping Westminster claim the conference's first-ever women's lacrosse title in 2019. The Titans finished the season 15-3 overall and 7-0 in the PAC while going on to earn a 16-8 win over Notre Dame of Maryland University in the opening round of the NCAA Division III Championship.
