Sarah Berheide has been named head women’s lacrosse coach, replacing Matthew Grosso, who resigned in May after eight seasons to accept the head women’s lacrosse post at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.
Sarah becomes Guilford’s 10th head women’s lacrosse coach after spending the last three years at Bard (N.Y) College. She moved the Raptors’ women’s lacrosse program from a club team to varsity status in 2010. Bard improved from a one-win campaign its inaugural season to a five-win season last spring.

Before coaching at Bard, she served an assistant coach, first at Siena College, and then at Trinity College (Conn.), where she earned her master’s degree in American studies. She helped Trinity reach the second round of the 2008 NCAA Division III Women’s Lacrosse playoffs and also assisted Bantams’ field hockey team.

Ellie Yearns has been appointed senior director of annual giving in the Office of Advancement effective Sept. 1. She succeeds Emily Thompson, who accepted a position as director of annual giving at Greensboro Day School.
Yearns was appointed associate regional director of philanthropy in September 2011. She joined the Advancement staff in July 2006 as assistant director of Guilford annual funds and then served as associate director of annual funds for parent relations.
“Ellie has experience in all facets of annual giving,” said Leigh McIlwain, associate vice president for philanthropy. “She has managed the phonathon, run our direct-mail campaign, organized the parent relations program and, during Emily’s maternity leaves, stepped in to manage the overall the annual funds program. She has a fantastic team to assist her in the process of raising funds that are vital to the ongoing support of our students and faculty.”
As senior director of annual giving, Yearns will develop and implement the annual operating fundraising program and the stewardship of all annual fund donors. She will work with staff and lead volunteers to coordinate efforts to acquire, retain and upgrade gifts to the Loyalty Fund, Quaker Club, Friends of the Library, Center for Continuing Education Fund, Friends Center and the N.C. Student Financial Assistance Fund.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in English communications from Greensboro College in 2005 and was assistant director of fund development for the Girl Scouts of America’s Tarheel Triad Council before arriving at Guilford.
Thompson was hired as director of the Guilford Fund in June 2005 and was named senior director of annual giving in July 2010.
“Over the past seven years Emily has done a marvelous job of organizing an annual giving program that is the foundation of our philanthropic efforts at the College,” McIlwain said. “She has recruited and mentored bright, driven and energetic staff members. And for that reason, I feel very confident in the team’s ability to carry on the great work in our annual giving program. “
