Lycoming Hires New Men's Lacrosse Coach
Brian Anken is the newly announced head coach of the Lycoming College men's lacrosse program, making him the Warriors' fourth coach in the program's history. Anken comes to Lycoming from Mars Hill College in North Carolina where he was the head lacrosse coach for three years. Anken was a prominent goaltender and scholar athlete at Medaille College in Buffalo, New York. He came to Lycoming because, "this gives me the opportunity to build a nationally recognized program and continue the winning tradition that Lycoming Lacrosse and the entire athletic program has established," said Anken. As far as this season goes, "We expect to compete for a conference championship and a spot in the NCAA playoffs immediately. Long term we expect to continuously compete for both a MAC championship and a NCAA National Championship," shared Anken.
