About the ECAC Lacrosse League One of the top-ranked conferences in Division I men's lacrosse, the ECAC began competition in 2000 and enjoyed immediate success.

In 2013, three ECAC members earned berths into the NCAA Tournament. The University of Denver and Ohio State University each advanced to the quarterfinals, with the Pioneers reaching the National Semifinals. In 2012, Loyola University captured the ECAC’s first-ever Division I Lacrosse National Championship. In 2011, Denver advanced to the national semifinals, the first time that an ECAC school had advanced past the first round since 2007. In 2006, Massachusetts played in the national championship game. In 2003, the ECAC had all four of its teams qualify for the NCAA tournament, a quarter of the 16-team field. The ECAC champion an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The league champion is determined through a playoff tournament which includes the top four teams of the round-robin regular season schedule.

Ohio State Tabbed as Favorite in 2014 After a season in which they captured their first Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Lacrosse Tournament Championship, the Ohio State University Buckeyes have been 1. Ohio State chosen as the favorite to win 2. Fairfield the 2014 ECAC Lacrosse regular season title. The Buckeyes 3. Air Force were selected as the preseason No. 1 by the ECAC Lacrosse 4. Bellarmine head coaches in the 2014 5. Michigan Preseason Coaches’ Poll. Coming off its third consecutive appearance in the ECAC semifinals, Fairfield University was picked to finish second, while the United States Air Force Academy garnered a third-place selection. Bellarmine University was tabbed to finish fourth and the University of Michigan rounded out the voting in fifth place.

sive units in the ECAC. The Falcons scored 174 goals last season and will return their top-six contributors from 2013. Seniors Mike Crampton (Kinnelon, N.J.) (53 pts.), Tommy McKee (Holt, Mich.)(33 points), Erik Smith (Golden, Colo.) (30 points), Kyle Cassady (Upper Arlington, Ohio)(20 points) junior Keith Dreyer (Malvern, Pa.) (36 points) and sophomore Christopher Allen (Hillsborough, N.J.) (22 points) combined for 194 points last season, as Air Force had the No. 23-ranked scoring offense in the nation (10.69 goals per game).

Ohio State, ranked No. 14 in the USILA Preseason Coaches’ Poll and No. 9 in the Warrior Media Preseason Top 20, enters the 2014 season on the heels of the program’s first NCAA Tournament win in five seasons. Head Coach Nick Myers is entering his sixth season at the helm of the Buckeyes and returns 34 members of last year’s championship team. On offense, junior midfielder Jesse King (Vitoria, British Columbia) is back for Ohio State after finishing second on the team in points in 2013 with 32 goals and 23 assists. Sophomore Carter Brown (Bel Air, Md.) and junior Turner Evans (Peterborough, Ontario) will also carry much of the offensive load after they each produced over 30 points a season ago.

Bellarmine finished the 2013 season with its first .500 record since 2010 and will look to use a similar philosophy of defense-first to attain even better results in 2014. The Knights boasted the nation’s eighth-ranked scoring defense last season (8.07 goals against per game) and averaged 7.93 caused turnovers per game. With the departure of All-American goalkeeper Dillon Ward, Bellarmine will turn to senior Will Haas (Westerville, Ohio) to make a seamless transition into the starting role. Junior Bobby Schmitt (Louisville, Ky.) will look to repeat his outstanding sophomore season after causing 26 turnovers and raking in 56 groundballs. Schmitt also chipped in with six goals and eight assists in 2013. The offense will run through senior Cameron Gardner (Calgary, Alta.), who is the Knights’ top scoring threat after notching 26 goals and 31 points a year ago.

2014 ECAC Lacrosse Preseason Coaches’ Poll

Senior captain Greg Dutton (Timonium, Md.) will be called upon to anchor the Buckeye defensive corps. Dutton ranked among the nation’s best in saves per game (9.73, No. 40), save percentage (.523, No. 36) and goals against average (8.96, No. 16). Ohio State finished the 2013 season ranked No. 13 in the country in scoring defense, giving up an average of 8.82 goals per game. Senior captain Joe Meurer (Towson, Md.) will be tasked with keeping the opposition away from Dutton after leading the Buckeyes with 17 caused turnovers during his junior season. Head Coach Andy Copelan enters his sixth season at Fairfield in search of a fourth-straight trip to the ECAC Tournament. The Stag attack will be centered around senior Jordan Greenfield (Dover, Mass.), who led the team with 34 goals and 42 points last season and ranked in the top-50 in all of NCAA Division I Lacrosse with a 1.20 goals per game average (No. 47). Juniors Colin McLinden (Madison, N.J.) and Tristan Sperry (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) each tallied over 20 points as sophomores and are poised for breakout seasons. Defensively, the Stags return two of their top cover men from a year ago in senior captains Toby Armour (New Haven, Conn.) and Greg Perraut (Bethesda, Md.). Armour caused a team-high 14 turnovers in 2013, while Perraut caused eight turnovers and collected 19 groundballs. Fellow senior captain Jack Murphy (Cohasset, Mass.) is set to have another solid year in goal for Fairfield. Murphy was in the national top30 in saves per game (11.00, No. 25), goals against average (9.66 No. 26) and save percentage (.532, No. 28) while playing every second of every game in between the pipes last season.

The Falcons were also in the top-30 nationally in caused turnovers per game (7.71, No. 27), thanks in large part to sophomore Alex Warden (Glen Mills, Pa.) (19 caused turnovers), senior Matt Puleo (Whitehouse Station, N.J.) (17 caused turnovers) and junior Kyle O’Brien (Denver, Colo.) (15 caused turnovers). The trio will lead a defensive unit that will need to play well in the early stages of the season, as the Falcons will be calling upon young goalkeepers Doug Gouchoe (Concord, Mass.), Brett Dadiego (Baldwin, N.Y.) and Mitch Rose (Garnet Valley, Pa.) to replace recent graduate Austin Fox, who played 95% of Air Force’s games in goal.

Michigan looks to utilize a young nucleus of talent to make a splash in the ECAC this season. The Wolverines return All-ECAC Rookie team selections Kyle Jackson (Sarnia, Ontario) and Mike Hernandez (Piedmont, Calif.) in 2014 after stellar freshman campaigns. Jackson was the team’s leading scorer with 17 goals and nine assists for 26 points, while Hernandez also broke the 20-point plateau with 12 goals and nine assists for 21 points. Juniors Will Meter (Beverly Hills, Mich.) and David McCormack (Terrace Park, Ohio) will be expected to facilitate the offense after netting 10 and 11 goals, respectively last season. On the defensive side, the Maize and Blue return two of their top defenders in sophomore Chase Brown (Annapolis, Md.) (29 groundballs, 13 caused turnovers) and redshirt senior J.D. Johnson (Malibu, Calif.) (25 groundballs, 13 caused turnovers) to help support the team’s new goalkeeper. Head Coach John Paul look to senior Bobby Riso (North Potomac, Md.), sophomore Mike D’Alessio (Eastchester, N.Y.) and freshman Robbie Zonino (Berwyn, Pa.) to earn the starting nod in goal.

HEAD COACH ERIC SEREMET

Eric Seremet is now entering his sixth season as the head coach for the Air Force lacrosse program. Following the retirement of the legendary Fred Acee in 2008, Seremet, a seven-year assistant for the Falcons, took over the reins as the interim head coach during the 2009 campaign. The 2013 season saw the Falcons face one of their toughest schedules in recent history, with five opponents finishing the regular season ranked in the top 10 nationally. Air Force was able to compile a 7-7 overall record on the year, including a 15-10 win over then-12th-ranked Lehigh, which was the Falcons’ first victory over a top-15 team since 2007. Four of the Falcons’ losses were decided by a single goal, including an overtime road loss to national semifinalist Denver. In 2012, Seremet guided the Falcons to a 6-7 overall record for the secondstraight season, including a thrilling overtime victory against service academy rival Army. Seremet also oversaw Air Force’s most potent offensive unit since 1997, as the Falcons averaged 17.8 points and 10.9 goals per contest. In 2011, Seremet helped lead a young Air Force squad to a 6-7 overall record, which included a win over 17th-ranked Loyola. After a slow start, the Falcons won five of their last six games to reach six victories for just the third time in 14 seasons and the second time in the last three years. With a 3-3 ledger in the ECAC, Air Force tied for third place in the seven-team league. The highlight of the 2010 season came on March 13, as Air Force defeated Army, 8-7, in overtime. It marked the first-ever win for the Falcons over the rival Black Knights in Army’s first trip to the Academy. A late-season surge by Air Force in 2009 saw the Falcons win four-straight contests, including their first win over Ohio State since 1997, to earn their first-ever bid to the GWLL Championship tournament. Over the course of the year, Air Force averaged nine goals per game, its highest offensive output since 1997, while allowing just 8.93 goals per contest. In his first season leading Air Force, Seremet guided the Falcons to a 7-7 overall ledger, including a 4-1 record in the Great Western Lacrosse League and a second-place conference finish. Air Force’s seven wins were the most since 2006 and more than in the previous two seasons combined, while the team finished at .500 for the first time since 1997. In addition, the Falcons’ four league wins were a school-record, while their second-place league finish matched a program-best (set previously in 1995). As the top assistant for the Falcons from 2002-2008, Seremet worked primarily with the offense, while assisting with recruiting and scouting. Since his arrival at the Academy, Air Force has seen improvement in total goals scored and goals per game. In 2005, the Falcons registered a 41 percent increase in scoring output compared to Seremet’s first season at the Academy. Similarly, the Falcons’ extra-man offense has ranked in the top 20 nationally three times with a 37 percent success rate in 2003, 40 percent in 2005 and 38 percent in 2013 (ranking 14th, ninth and 18th respectively). Before arriving at the Academy, Seremet, a native of Camillus, N.Y., and 1988 graduate of West Genesee High School, spent a year as an assistant coach at Cornell University. There he helped the Big Red maintain a top-20 ranking throughout the 2001 season. Prior to his stint at Cornell, Seremet was the top assistant for four years at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. While at Stony Brook, Seremet had his hand in all aspects of the program, coaching both ends of the field. In 1998, he coached the top goaltender in Division I in save percentage, while the defense ranked third in goals against. Seremet also served as a graduate assistant coach at Dartmouth College during the 1993 season. Seremet attended the University of North Carolina, where he was a four-year letterwinner for the lacrosse team. During his career, the Tar Heels won four ACC titles and advanced to the NCAA Final Four each season. Seremet was also a starter on North Carolina’s 1991 national championship team, which finished the season with a perfect 16-0 record. He graduated from North Carolina in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial relations. In addition to his collegiate experience as both a player and a coach, Seremet also brings eight years of professional playing experience to the table. Seremet began his professional career in 1993 with the Boston Blazers of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League. He competed in the National Lacrosse League for seven seasons, playing for the New York Saints from 1995-1999, earning team MVP honors in 1996. Seremet was also a member of the Syracuse Smash from 1999-2000 and the Colorado Mammoth in 2003.

Players To Watch # 25 Erik Smith -- Sr., M Smith was selected in the fifth round of the 2014 MLL Collegiate Draft, becoming the first Air Force player ever drafted by the league. He enters his senior season with 78 career points (42g, 36a) and 170 ground balls (the third-highest ground ball total for a Falcon since 1994). Smith earned team offensive MVP honors in 2013 after finishing the season with 29 points (including a career-best 21 goals), while also leading the team in ground balls.

*ECAC Game

In August of 2011 Kevin Burns became just the second head lacrosse coach at Bellarmine University, succeeding the late Jack McGetrick, who founded the Bellarmine lacrosse program in 2005. After going 4-8 during the 2012 campaign, Burns led the Knights to a breakout season in 2013 as the team went 7-7 with five of the seven losses coming by two goals or less. The Knights were known as one of the toughest defensive teams in the country, ranking 8th in the country in scoring defense and 11th in man-down defense. Included in that staunch defense was goalkeeper Dillon Ward, who became the program’s first All-American after being named to the Third Team by the USILA. Ward led the country in save percentage (.662), ranked second in saves per game (14.86), and sixth in goals against average (7.68). For his efforts in 2013, Burns was voted the Eastern College Athletic Conference Coach of the Year by his peers, the first time a Bellarmine coach has earned the award. In his two years as the head coach at Bellarmine, Burns has coached four All-ECAC performers and 12 Academic All-ECAC selections. Prior to coming to Louisville, Burns served as an assistant coach at the University of Massachusetts, where he oversaw recruiting and coached the defense for five seasons. While at UMass, the Minutemen won the ECAC Championship in 2009, earning a berth to the NCAA Tournament. The Minutemen made an immediate impact when they moved to the CAA in 2010, playing in the Conference Semi Finals in 2010 and the Conference Championship in 2011. Additionally, UMass was ranked in the top 10 nationally in 2010 and 2011. Before his stop at UMass, Burns was the first ever assistant at Binghamton University from 2004-06. At Binghamton, Burns helped the Bearcats to their highest-ever ranking in 2006 at No. 16. He served as the defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator under head coach Ed Stephenson. In 2006 Binghamton finished as the 14th-ranked defense in the nation and ranked No. 1 in the America East in man-down defense. Burns worked with the Bearcats academic programs as well in overseeing the team which posted the best team GPA in men’s lacrosse program history at the New York school. Burns also spent time as an assistant coach at Wagner College in Staten Island, N.Y., from 2003-04 as the defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for the Seahawks.

Collegiately, Burns was a fouryear defenseman at Loyola College, graduating in 2003 with the Bachelor of Arts in History. During his playing time with the Greyhounds, the team reached the No. 1 ranking nationally and entered the 2000 NCAA playoffs as the No. 1 seed. Loyola also advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2001. Originally from upstate New York, Burns played his prep lacrosse at West Genesee High School where he played for legendary head coach Mike Messere. The Wildcats were the No. 1 team in the nation winning a New York State championship his junior year. They won 47 games in a row over the course of two seasons. Burns lives in Louisville with his fiancée, Becky Letourneau.

The Stags advanced to the ECAC Lacrosse League Championship Game for the second time in as many seasons in 2012, after knocking off Ohio State in the semifinals. Copelan led the Stags to a final NCAA RPI rank of 11th partly on the strength of a 6-0 mark in one goal games, including a 9-8 overtime win over #10 Denver – the highest ranked opponent the Stags have beaten at home in program history. Fairfield remained amongst the nation’s elite in several categories during the 2012 campaign. The Stags finished the year sixth with a .582 face-off win percentage, and ranked seventh in win percentage (75%), in the nation. Additionally, Copelan had the Stags 11th in saves per game, 16th in scoring defense, 17th in man-down defense and 24th in scoring margin, in the final NCAA Division I statistics. Under Copelan’s tutelage the Stags have seen tremendous individual accomplishments both on and off the field. The Stags had two players earn All-America honors in the same season for the first time in 2012, with Brent Adams earning Third Team and Charlie Cipriano receiving Honorable Mention. That was followed in 2013 when Sam Snow earned USILA All-America Honorable Mention. The trio, along with Marshall Johnson, were all taken in the Major League Lacrosse Collegiate draft, with Adams and Cipriano being picked with consecutive selections in 2012. Cipriano is one of numerous Stags to have been honored with by the coaches of the ECAC under Copelan’s leadership. In 2011 he became the program’s first major award winner as ECAC Goalkeeper of the Year, an honor he received again in 2012. Copelan coached a program-record seven All-ECAC selection in 2012, bringing his total to 17 over the past four seasons. Adams became the program’s first four-time All-ECAC selection, after earning his third nod to the First-Team in 2012. Copelan has seen his student-athletes excel in the classroom as well. In the five seasons he has been at the helm of the Stags, every student-athlete that has completed their eligibility has earned a degree from Fairfield. The Stags have had 29 student-athletes earn AllECAC Academic Team honors under Copelan’s tutelage, with at least four earning the accolade in each season and 10 doing so in 2013. On the field, Copelan’s squads have seen success, with several of the program’s most defining victories on his resume, with perhaps the biggest coming in 2010. Fairfield travelled to Houston, Texas and defeated third-ranked and eventual national runner-up, Notre Dame, 10-8, in the programs first-ever game in Texas. In 2011 the Stags upset second-seeded Loyola 10-9 in the semifinals of the ECAC Lacrosse League tournament, just the second victory over the Greyhounds in program history, to earn a berth in the first-ever conference championship game. The Stags then rattled off five unanswered goals in the title game as their upset bid of top-seeded and fifth-ranked Denver fell just short in the title bout. The Stags 2011 Recruiting Class was ranked 20th in the nation by InsideLacrosse and in each of the last two years Copelan has inked a Top-100 national recruit. Fairfield has had success on the field as well, receiving votes in national polls in each of his three seasons at the helm.

Andrew Copelan is now in his sixth season at the helm of the Fairfield University men’s lacrosse team. In his time with the Stags he has posted a 43-31 record and now owns a seven-year NCAA Division I coaching record of 61-46. Copelan was named the program’s third head coach in varsity history on August 25, 2008, and has put the Stags back into the national conversation. Fairfield ranked as high as 13th in polls in each of the last two seasons and finished 2012 ranked 17th, the highest-end of year ranking in program history. These rankings came on the heels of a school-record 12-4 record, which included a record-setting 7-0 start to the campaign. While the 2013 season did not end the way many hoped it would, Copelan again had the Stags writing new chapters in program history. Fairfield went 8-7 and qualified for the ECAC Championship for the third consecutive year. The tournament clinching win was a thrilling 10-9 overtime game at Denver and became the program’s first-ever win over the nation’s top-ranked team. Four Stags ended the season with All-ECAC honors, two were selected to the North-South Game, two named All-NEILA and one played in the East-West game.

In his five seasons at Fairfield, Copelan has had nine players earn selection to the USILA North-South All-Star Game and served as an assistant coach at the 2013 contest. In addition, eight Copelan coached Stags have been drafted by Major League Lacrosse, with Joe Marra becoming the second player in program history to be taken in the collegiate draft in 2010. Under his tutelage 14 Stags have been honored with All-NEILA selections. Fairfield is the second head coaching stop on Copelan’s resume, having become the youngest head coach in the nation at Marist College in 2004. That first season he was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Coach of the Year, leading the Red Foxes to the MAAC Regular Season crown and their first winning season in six years. He followed that the next season by leading Marist to its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth. Copelan coached players have received numerous accolades under his tutelage. In two seasons with the Red Foxes, Keith Detelj was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the year (2004) and Dan Needle was named the 2005 Rookie of the Year. In those two seasons, nine Marist players earned All-MAAC accolades. After his stint at Marist, Copelan moved to an assistant coaching position at the University of Maryland, where he was from 2006-08. In each of those campaigns the Terrapins qualified for the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the Final Four in 2006. In his final two seasons at Maryland, Copelan served as the Terps offensive coordinator, leading one of the top ranked offenses in the nation. In 2008 the Terps finished the year 13th in the nation in scoring offense, averaging 10.5 goals per game and as the sixth-best team in man-up scoring. The Terps were also seventh in the nation in scoring margin in 2008. In 2007, Copelan had Maryland ranked fourth in the nation in man-up goals and 12th in goals. Copelan also served as the recruiting coordinator for Maryland in his final two seasons, with great success. InsideLacrosse ranked the Terps’ 2008 class as the third best in the country, while the 2007 class was ranked second. Individually, Copelan helped the Terps secure six of the top-50 recruits in its 2008 class. Copelan was a four-year varsity letter winner at Bucknell University, where he earned All-Patriot League accolades. Additionally, he was named to the Academic Honor Roll for Student-Athletes in each of his four seasons.

*ECAC Game

In his third season as head coach of the Michigan men’s lacrosse team, head coach John Paul continued his quest towards building the Wolverines into an NCAA power after spending the previous 14 seasons as head coach of the University of Michigan men’s lacrosse club team, compiling a career record of 241-44. Under his direction, the team earned 13 straight Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) national tournament invitations (1999-2011), reaching at least the quarterfinals every year except one. His teams captured an unprecedented three straight national club team titles from 2008-10, and 11 of the last 13 Central Collegiate Lacrosse Association (CCLA) championships, including each of the last five. On June 17, 2013, Paul was inducted into the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame Michigan Chapter for his contributions to the game of lacrosse in the state of Michigan. In 2013, Paul continued the transition to a varsity program with his first full recruiting class. Three players in Kyle Jackson, Mike Hernandez, and Gerald Logan all earned All-ECAC Freshman Team accolades, while 22 players earned All-ECAC Academic and All-Big Ten Academic accolades. Additionally, three players in Logan, Jackson, and Chase Brown were named ECAC Rookie of the Week for their individual performances throughout the season. Following the season, the team won U-M’s Rachel Townsend Award, given to the Michigan team that completes the most community service hours. In his first season as a varsity head coach, Paul guided his squad of primarily club players to a 1-13 record in the first season of varsity lacrosse at Michigan in 2012, and landed 14 players on the Spring Academic All-Big Ten Team. Paul stressed the building of an elite culture for Team One while moving a dominant club program to varsity lacrosse on an accelerated timeline, and has assembled one of the top recruiting classes in the country for the 2012-13 season. Prior to U-M’s first season as a Division I program in 2011, Paul was named ‘Man of the Year’ by Lacrosse Magazine for his influence of the game of lacrosse. The Wolverines were ranked No. 1 in the MCLA poll for the better part of the 2008, ‘09, ‘10 and ‘11 seasons, and concluded 2011 with an 18-1 record, the CCLA title, and a No. 3 national ranking after falling, 7-6, in the national semifinals to Arizona State. In the final four years competing at the club level (2008-11), Paul’s teams posted a 76-2 overall record, 24-0 CCLA record and won three straight national titles and four conference titles. In 2008, the Wolverines did something no other MCLA team had, completing a perfect season with a 20-0 record, culminating with the program’s first national club team championship. In 2009, the Wolverines duplicated the feat by again going 20-0 and repeating as national champion. U-M tallied a streak of 50 consecutive wins from the end of the 2007 season midway through 2010, and closed the year with an 18-1 mark, a fourth straight CCLA title and a three-peat as national champion. In that three-year span, Paul’s teams posted a 58-1 mark. Seventy Wolverines earned MCLA All-America recognition under Paul, including 22 on the first team. Michigan has also boasted 38 MCLA Scholar Athletes during his tenure. His teams produced 141 All-CCLA honorees, by far the highest total in the conference. In 2008, Brekan Kohlitz became the first Wolverine selected in the Major League Lacrosse draft when he was selected in the fifth round by the Washington Bayhawks.

2013 RESULTS

HEAD COACH JOHN PAUL

Away from the field, Paul’s teams excelled in the classroom and community as well, maintaining a team GPA well above 3.0. Team members made regular visits to patients at the U-M Mott Children’s Hospital and participated in children’s reading programs and a mentoring program at local schools. Paul has been involved with Michigan lacrosse as a player and coach since 1986-87. A three-year captain for the Wolverines, he transitioned into the coaching profession in 1989 at Pioneer High School (Ann Arbor) while still at U-M. He served as an assistant coach at Michigan while also working in the athletic department’s development office for five years. Paul assumed head coaching duties for the U-M club team in 1998. Paul brings international coaching experience as well, serving on the coaching staff of the 2002 USA West team that won the International Open division of the World Lacrosse Championships in Perth, Australia. He also served on the USA West staff when the team claimed the 2005 Asia Pacific Games championship in Osaka, Japan. Paul served as president of the MCLA from 2002-09 and is a former member of the US Lacrosse Board of Directors (2002-05). He also served on the Executive Board of the US Lacrosse Coaches Council and on the Board of the Michigan Chapter of US Lacrosse. Paul was drafted in 1989 by the Detroit Turbos of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League. He also played post-collegiate club lacrosse for the Motor City Lacrosse Club until 1996. Paul holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Michigan in history (1994). He, his wife Lisa, and daughter, Amelia, live in Ann Arbor.

Nick Myers marks his sixth season as head coach for the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team in 2014. In the summer of 2013 Myers agreed to a five-year contract extension with Ohio State. He took over the program July 10, 2008, after three seasons as the top assistant for the Buckeyes. In his first five years as the Buckeyes’ head coach, Myers posted a 44-35 ledger overall and an 18-13 conference record, with the squad earning a berth each year a conference tournament was held. He has led the Buckeyes to the first postseason and Creator’s Trophy titles in program history, a spot in the NCAA quarterfinals and to a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament en route to the first NCAA tournament game at home. Under his tutelage, members of the program have garnered nine USILA All-America honors, 21 all-conference nods and five conference player of the year accolades.

two seasons.

Over the past five years, members of the Ohio State team have earned 87 Academic All-Big Ten accolades, 124 Ohio State Scholar-Athlete nods and 27 Academic All-ECAC honors, along with the first five USILA Scholar All-American selections in program history. The squad maintains a team cumulative grade-point average above a 3.0. The team’s community service numbers rise each year, with the program volunteering more than 700 hours in the community each of the last

The 2013 campaign was one of the best in program history, posting a 13-4 ledger for the most wins for a Buckeye team since 1978. Ten of the victories were during the regular season, just the fifth time a Buckeye team hit double-digit wins before entering postsseason play. The squad downed both Penn State and Michigan on the road to claim the Creator’s Trophy for the first time. Wins over ranked opponents Loyola and Denver lifted the Buckeyes to the ECAC tournament crown and the No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. Nearly 2,400 fans - a number that ranked fourth nationally among all first-round sites - watched the Buckeyes beat Towson 16-6 to advance to the NCAA quarterfinals for the second time in school history. Individually, Logan Schuss became the program’s all-time leading goal scorer and a two-time ECAC Offensive Player of the Year, as well as the first Buckeye to earn first team all-conference accolades four times. Schuss was a second team All-American and Dominique Alexander, Jesse King and Joe Meurer all were named honorable mention All-Americans, just the second time in program history four Buckeyes were recognized and the first time since 2008. Three Buckeyes - Schuss, Alexander and Trey Wilkes - were named USILA Scholar All-Americans. The 2012 campaign saw the Buckeyes (8-7) earn a spot in the ECAC tournament semifinals after finishing second in the regular season with a 5-1 league ledger. Schuss was named the ECAC Offensive Player of the Year and joined Joe Bonanni on the USILA All-America third team, with four Buckeyes named to the All-ECAC team. Matt Kawamoto and Joe Bonanni became the first USILA Scholar All-Americans in program history. In 2011, the Buckeyes (8-8) earned a spot in the inaugural ECAC tournament. The team was 5-2 at home, including a 13-8 upset of No. 3-ranked North Carolina Feb. 19 in Ohio Stadium, the program’s first win over a Top 3 opponent in history. A record 28 Buckeyes were invited to the Scholar-Athlete dinner, with a league-high 10 Ohio State players named to the ECAC All-Academic team. Kawamoto, a USILA Honorable Mention All-American, picked up ECAC Defensive Player of the Year accolades and was one of four Buckeyes named to the all-conference teams. In 2010, the Buckeyes (7-8) faced one of the toughest schedules in the nation as they began play as a member of the ECAC Lacrosse League. The squad had a 5-2 ledger at home, and highlighting the home slate was the third-annual Showdown in the Show when the Buckeyes topped Air Force with a record attendance of 31,078. Schuss was named ECAC Rookie of the Year and became the first Buckeye freshman to nab All-America honors after leading the ECAC in points per game and was one of two Buckeyes recognized on the all-conference team. In 2009, his first season at the helm of the Buckeye program, Myers led Ohio State (8-8) to a spot in the Great Western Lacrosse League championship game after a third-place finish in the league’s regular-season standings despite losing two All-Americans and four all-conference selections from the 2008 squad that reached the NCAA quarterfinals. Senior AllAmerican Joel Dalgarno, who finished his career as Ohio State’s all-time leading goal scorer and ranked second all-time in points, led the GWLL and was sixth nationally with 3.81 points per game. In all, seven Buckeyes were named all-conference, with two first team selections. As the top assistant under Joe Breschi at Ohio State from 2006-08, Myers served as the offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes, oversaw recruiting and handled other aspects of the day-to-day operation of the men’s lacrosse program. In 2008, Myers helped guide the Buckeyes to a share of the Great Western Lacrosse League regular-season title and an at-large berth into the NCAA tournament. The team downed Cornell on the road for the program’s first NCAA tournament victory and berth in the quarterfinal round. He was the offensive coordinator as the Buckeyes ended the season third in the NCAA in scoring offense (13.2 goals per game) and extra-man offense (45.7 percent). Myers began his coaching career as the volunteer coach for the Buckeyes for two seasons (2002, ’03) and was on the Buckeye staff when the squad earned a spot in the NCAA tournament in 2003, the first appearance in program history, and shared the GWLL title. He spent the 2004 and ’05 campaigns as the top assistant coach at Butler before rejoining the Buckeye staff in 2006. Myers played for Springfield College in Massachusetts, earning Division III All-America honors in 2001. He was a three-time AllNEWMAC selection and was the 2000 conference player of the year. A native of Kennebunk, Maine, Myers graduated from Kennebunk High School in 1997. He was a two-time high school AllAmerican and participated in the 1997 North-South All-Star Game. Myers graduated from Springfield with a degree in sports studies/physical education in 2001. He married the former Julie Cowles, also a Springfield College graduate who now is a physical education teacher at Walnut Springs Middle School, Aug. 19, 2006. The couple lives in Columbus with their sons, Mason and Zachary. Myers’ brother, Pat, was a four-year letterwinner for the Buckeyes from 2000-03, a two-time All-Great Western Lacrosse League honoree and the conference rookie of the year in 2000. He now is the first assistant coach and offensive coordinator at North Carolina after stints at Cornell and Bucknell.

About the ECAC

The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) is the nation’s largest athletic conference and only multi-divisional conference, with approximately 300 Division I, II and III colleges and universities from Maine to North Carolina and westerly to Colorado. Established in 1938 with 58 charter members, the ECAC has since emerged as the nationwide leader in service. The Asa S. Bushnell Center, named after inaugural commissioner Asa S. Bushnell, serves as the main office for the ECAC. It is located in Centerville, Mass., on Cape Cod. After Asa S. Bushnell molded the organization from its formation to his retirement in 1970, George Shiebler took over as commissioner from 1970-72. Robert M. “Scotty” Whitelaw (1972-89) guided the ECAC through one of the most significant events in its history, as the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) was consolidated into the ECAC in 1983. With the addition of women’s sports, the ECAC doubled its number of championships and greatly increased its membership. Clayton Chapman (1989-98), Phil Buttafuoco (1998-2006) and Steve Bamford (2006-07) have also carried the title of commissioner through the last 22 years. Rudy Keeling assumed chief administrator duties on May 1, 2007 until his retirement in 2013. Steve Bamford returned as interim commissioner in 2013 until May when Dr. Kevin T. McGinniss was appointed as the eighth commissioner of the ECAC.

Celebrating 75 Years of Service to Our Membership Asa S. Bushnell Internship Program

The prestigious Asa S. Bushnell internship program, named after the first commissioner of the ECAC and established in 1976, offers college graduates from ECAC member institutions hands-on experience in all the areas of the only multi-divisional conference in the country. Former interns proudly represent the ECAC in all fields of the sports industry as directors of athletics, commissioners, broadcasting executives, professional franchise frontoffice executives, sports information directors and coaches.
