Saint Joseph's College has named Mike Edgar as its first-ever
Head Men's Lacrosse Coach after coaching the sport in Maine at various
levels for over fifteen years.
Coach Edgar comes to Saint Joseph's College after two years as the head
coach at South Portland High School. Edgar guided the Red Riots to the
lacrosse program's first ever playoff victory in his first season. Prior
to piloting the South Portland team, Coach Edgar was the head coach
at Greely High School in Cumberland, ME from 1999-2005. Edgar helped
rebuild interest in the program and the team's record improved each
year under his watch.
Coach Edgar served as the head coach for the 2001 and 2002 Maine Team
Warrior U19 travel squad and 1999 Maine Select Lacrosse U15 team. He
was also the co-head coach of the 2000 Super Juniors Select Travel team.
In 1981, Edgar co-founded and played on the first team in Cape Elizabeth
High School history and was voted All State in 1983 and 1984 and was
team captain in 1984. 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.
Edgar served as the President of the Maine Chapter of U.S. Lacrosse
in 2006 and 2007 and was on a panel of 24 coaches responsible for selecting
the 2007 United States National U19 Boys Lacrosse team. He is currently
a board member for the Maine Lacrosse Coaches Association.
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.
