For Immediate Release – US Coast Guard Academy Lacrosse

NEW LONDON, Conn. – The United States Coast Guard Academy men’s lacrosse team is excited to announce a strong incoming freshman class. The Bears were challenged to fill several positions vacated by graduating 1^st Class cadets now serving in the fleet, but a successful recruiting season seems likely to fill the gaps. Eighteen 4^th Class cadets round out the list from 12 different states all across the country.

Head coach LCDR Brian Krautler said, “We are very excited at the level of talent of this year’s incoming class. We were able to find a great group of driven and accomplished players from all over the country at every position to push our returners and make an immediate impact to the lineup. This is a group of well-rounded student athletes that possess the character, work ethic and hunger to represent the Coast Guard Academy, serve their country and become Commissioned Officers in the United States Coast Guard. We are very excited that they and their families have agreed to join the Coast Guard men’s lacrosse family.”
