Athletic Director
Dave DeGeorge announced the hiring of
Kevin Lerg as the Bucs' head men's lacrosse coach this week. Lerg takes over the position that was vacated in April.
"We are extremely pleased to have Coach Lerg leading our men's lacrosse program," said DeGeorge. "He has a strong coaching background and he is an energetic recruiter. I am very excited to see the success he will bring to the program."
"I'd like to thank Athletic Director DeGeorge and the rest of the search committee for giving me the opportunity to be the new men's lacrosse coach at Beloit," noted Lerg. "I look forward to working with the players and Beloit College staff to give the best experience off and on the field for the student-athletes."
Lerg comes to Beloit from Hartwick College where he was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator since 2017. In four seasons with the Hawks, including the shortened 2020 campaign and a cancelled 2021 season due to the pandemic, Lerg helped lead Hartwick to two Empire 8 conference tournament appearances. During that span, he coached a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-American, an academic All-American, an All-Region honoree and eight all-conference selections. Prior to the stint at Hartwick, Lerg was the recruiting coordinator, defensive coordinator and assistant coach at Hiram College. He also has experience as a coach/instructor with Force Lacrosse based in Ohio.
"Allow me to thank the previous coaches I have worked with over the year," added Lerg. "In particular, Coach LaSala at Hartwick College for his guidance and mentorship over the past four years to help me take this next step."
A two-time team captain as a student-athlete at Adrian College, Lerg led his squad to four NCAA tournament appearances and an impressive 33-0 conference record. A three-time all-conference selection, Lerg garners the most career wins in Adrian program history.
Lerg graduated from Adrian College with a degree in Communication Arts in 2014 and earned a master's in Interdisciplinary Studies from Hiram College in 2017.
