8/7/08 - Saint Joseph's College Tabs Mike Edgar to Lead New Men’s Lacrosse Program

Standish, ME - Saint Joseph’s College has named Mike Edgar as its first-ever Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach. Edgar is currently the President of the Maine Chapter of U.S. Lacrosse and, for the past two seasons, was the boys' head lacrosse coach at South Portland High School. This summer Edgar was selected to be on a panel of 24 coaches responsible for selecting the United States National U19 Boys Lacrosse team.

The men’s lacrosse program at Saint Joseph’s has had club status for the past few years and in 2007-08 will compete in its first season as a varsity NCAA Division III team.

Edgar has been a fixture in Maine lacrosse for some time. In 1981, as a high school student at Cape Elizabeth, he was the driving force behind the school beginning varsity lacrosse. In 1991, when there was not much of any high school lacrosse in the Portland area, he was one of the trailblazers to begin and coach the Back Bay Lacrosse Club, and from 1999-2006, he was the head varsity coach at Greeley High School.

“This is an important time in Saint Joseph’s athletics, particularly for our three new sports, which includes men’s lacrosse,” said Brian Curtin, Director of Athletics at Saint Joseph’s College. “We are excited to know that the men’s lacrosse program will be guided by Coach Edgar who has significant leadership experience and so much passion for the game of lacrosse. We feel that it is a perfect fit.”

Saint Joseph’s College Intercollegiate Athletics Department sponsors 14 NCAA Division III teams and is entering its first year as a full member of the Great Northeast Athletic Conference. In 2007-08, Swimming, Women’s Lacrosse and Men’s Lacrosse will participate in their first season as varsity teams. Saint Joseph’s College is a private, liberal arts institution located on beautiful Sebago Lake in southern Maine.
