Texas Program Welcomes New Coach
Posted July 1, 2010

The Texas lacrosse program wrapped up its search as Brian Myers was announced as the team’s new head coach on Tuesday. Myers, who hails from Buffalo, NY, played collegiately at Towson University where he helped the Tigers reach the NCAA tournament three times, including a Final Four appearance in 2001.

After graduating from Towson, Myers played professionally for Major League Lacrosse and spent time with the Denver Outlaws, Philadelphia Barrage and Washington Bayhawks.

Myers spent three years on the coaching staff at Stevenson University. Under the tutelage of coach Paul Cantabene, Myers and the Mustang coaching staff helped build Stevenson into a regular NCAA Division III tournament contender.

Now Myers will become the newest head lacrosse coach at the University of Texas when the team returns to practice in the fall of 2010.

“I think the season is going to be great,” Myers said. “We get to start with a clean slate. It’ll be a fresh season for everybody. Our goal is to win and be successful.”

Myers inherits a program fresh off another 12-win season, including marquee victories over Florida State and Arizona. The Longhorns fell in the conference finals to Texas State by the score of 12-10 but return a majority of their starters and lots of young talent for what promises to be a fantastic spring 2011 season.

“I’m excited because we’re going to win games and we’re going to have fun doing it,” Myers said. “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t win our conference year in and year out. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be competing in the national tournament every year.”
