Coach Kayla Treanor and Clayton Cleveland got married on New Year’s Eve in 2024, but within the same year, news of their divorce surfaced, following reports of Treanor’s alleged affair with her assistant coach.
Kayla Treanor, born on November 20, 1993, in Niskayuna, New York, is a former standout player at Syracuse University from 2013 to 2016.
After her playing career, she started coaching as an assistant at Boston College, where she helped lead the team to multiple NCAA championship appearances.
Recently, she left her position as head coach at Syracuse to take over as the head coach of Penn State’s women’s lacrosse program.
During her four seasons at Syracuse, she led the team to two Final Four appearances and maintained a strong record of 59-24.

As per the report, Kayla Treanor filed for divorce from Clayton Cleveland on September 24, 2024, in the Saratoga County, NY, Supreme Court.
Discussions about Treanor’s situation have surfaced on the FanLax Lacrosse Forum, as one of the users said:
She had an affair with her assistant coach. She married her husband in December but started the secret relationship with her new assistant in October. She went through with her marriage and got caught by her husband with her assistant at Final Four. KT is going to get fired because she violated Syracuse policy of having a workplace relationship with her subordinate.
The filing reportedly comes after revelations of Treanor’s secret relationship with her assistant coach.
It is likely that it began in October, two months before she officially married Cleveland in December.
Despite moving forward with her wedding, the affair was exposed when her husband caught her and her assistant at the Final Four.
Additionally, users have speculated about Treanor’s potential dismissal following the controversy surrounding her workplace relationship.
Some forum members noted that the players were aware of the situation before the Final Four, suggesting that the issue had been circulating for some time.
The controversy surrounding Treanor has intensified as she recently left her position as head coach at Syracuse to take over as the head coach of Penn State’s women’s lacrosse program.
This transition adds another layer of theory to her situation. Additionally, this situation raised questions about how her departure from Syracuse and the divorce might impact her new role.
