University of Hartford Head Coach Peter Lawrence will direct this camp. Peter Lawrence enters his fourth year as head coach of the University of Hartford lacrosse team in 2009.
Lawrence’s crowning achievement to this point has been a historic win over 19th-ranked Stony Brook University in 2007. The Hawks pulled off the 6-4 upset over the Seawolves on Al-Marzook Field. Lawrence, formerly the head lacrosse coach at Division III Elmira College, is the seventh head coach in the program’s Division I history. In his first season he led the Hawks to more wins than the previous two years combined.
Lawrence began his coaching career as an assistant at Whittier College, where he directed the Poets’ defense in their first two seasons of NCAA competition. Lawrence then spent three seasons as head coach at Elmira, where he led the Soaring Eagles to an overall record of 8-6 in 2005, only the fifth winning season in school history. Lawrence has had the privilege to coach many Canadians over his career, including seven who have gone on to play in the NLL.
A standout player at Roanoke College and recently elected to its 2008 Hall of Fame class, Lawrence led the Maroons to three straight NCAA Division III Tournament appearances. He was a three time all-conference selection and a two time All-American selection, and in 1998 he was named Old Dominion Athletic Conference Player of the Year. He also played in the North-South All-Star Game that same year. After graduating from Roanoke College in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education, Lawrence was drafted by the MLL’s Bridgeport Barrage in the league’s inaugural season (2001).
Lawrence currently resides in West Hartford with his wife Meghan and their children, Finn and Rowan.
