UNC graduate Emily Parros returned to the Tar Heel women's lacrosse program as an assistant coach in October of 2020.
Parros, an NCAA champion at North Carolina in 2013, spent the previous four years as an assistant coach at East Carolina while continuing to play professionally and for the U.S. National Team.
"We are so excited to welcome our own Emily Garrity Parros back to Carolina," UNC head coach Jenny Levy said upon Parros' hiring. "Emily is a champion in every way – she is a great human being who our players will love. She is a natural connector who is a selfless leader and a hard worker, and is passionate about the University of North Carolina and our women's lacrosse program."
Known as Emily Garrity during her UNC career, Parros started in the midfield for the Tar Heel from 2010-13, earning All-America, All-Atlantic Coast Conference and ACC All-Tournament honors. She was a two-time captain and was named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List as a senior. An exercise and sport science major, she twice earned All-ACC Academic Team honors.
After graduating from UNC in 2013 she spent a year coaching and teaching on the high school level in Orlando, Fla., where she also coached club lacrosse. She then spent two seasons on the staff at James Madison before moving to ECU.
In addition to her coaching career, Parros continues to play for the U.S. National Team and in the United Women's Lacrosse League (UWLX) as a member of the Philadelphia Force.
She is married to another Tar Heel, Clayton Parros, who was a sprinter on the track & field team at UNC and is now the coach at Mount Olive University.
