    Coach's Note

    As we gear up for another memorable year of Captains Lacrosse, we couldn’t be more excited about the journey ahead. We’re returning a strong core of experienced leaders while welcoming an exciting group of newcomers who are ready to make an immediate impact in our locker room.

    Our program continues to pursue finding its best — on and off the field. The 2025 season was our 5th straight trip to the NCAA Elite Eight with 2021 and 2023 being trips to the Final 4. The goal is for each of our guys to BELIEVE that everything he is pouring into his role on our team is worth it now and beyond his time in a Captains jersey. The memories created, habits formed, and relationships built will stand the test of time. 

    Your support is the fuel that helps us pursue our vision of being the best place in the country to play Division III lacrosse. Donations go directly toward travel, equipment, apparel, team meals, and everything else our student-athletes need to compete at the highest level. Please Be A Great Teammate and join our community of champions and support Captains Lacrosse! 

    Go Captains!
