Judd Lattimore Named Head Men's Lacrosse Coach

Judd Lattimore has been named the new head coach of the men"s lacrosse program at the College of the Holy Cross, director of athletics Nathan Pine announced. Lattimore joins the Crusaders after spending the last two seasons as the top assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania. Over the course of his coaching career, he has helped lead four different schools to NCAA Tournament appearances at the Division I level, in addition to coaching in two NCAA Division II championship games.

"I am excited to welcome Judd Lattimore and his wife, Bonnie, to the Holy Cross family," said Pine. "Judd is a highly accomplished coach who has been successful at multiple institutions, he has played important roles in all facets of running top collegiate programs. Judd has an outstanding track record of recruiting and developing top-level talent and I am confident he is the perfect person to take Holy Cross Lacrosse to new heights."

As the offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator on the staff at Penn, Lattimore played an instrumental role in the team's success over the past two years. In 2014, he helped guide the Quakers to an overall record of 11-4, the Ivy League tournament championship and the No. 4 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. Penn previously posted an 8-5 mark during the 2013 campaign, for an overall record of 19-9 during Lattimore's two seasons on the staff. The Quakers also led the nation in goals against average in 2013, despite playing a schedule that ranked second nationally in terms of strength.

"I am extremely excited to become part of the community at Holy Cross, and I would like to thank Nate Pine and everyone in the athletic department for the opportunity," said Lattimore. "I look forward to joining such a prestigious academic institution and having the chance to work with the outstanding student-athletes who are a part of the program. Holy Cross athletics has a great history and I look forward to building upon that outstanding foundation."
