Alexander Joins St. Mary's Men's Lax Staff
from press release
ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Chris Hasbrouck,
St. Mary's College of Maryland head men's lacrosse coach, is
pleased to announce the return of All-American Ryan Alexander
(Laurel, Md.) to the St. Mary's campus as the assistant men's
lacrosse coach and intramurals coordinator.
"I'm very pleased and excited to have Ryan join our staff. I
have no doubt that he will bring all of the passion and intensity
to the sideline that he exhibited throughout his playing career,"
stated Hasbrouck.
Hasbrouck added, "As a recent graduate and one of the most highly
decorated players in the history of the College, he will bring his
unique perspective to the team. Ryan knows what it takes to
compete at the highest levels of DIII college lacrosse and fully
understands the academic challenges and rewards the College
offers. He is highly motivated and enthusiastic and will be
an excellent role model for our student/athletes."
As Hasbrouck alluded to, Alexander is coming off an illustrious
career at St. Mary's. He was an All-American and a four-time
All-Capital Athletic Conference selection as well as a three-year
team captain. Alexander was one of the program's best
midfielders, amassing 144 points on 98 goals and 46 assists.
He was an outstanding defender as well, scooping up 119 ground
balls and causing 21 turnovers.
"Coaching lacrosse has been a dream of mine ever since high school,
where my appreciation for the sport itself deepened. This
career path is one few actually get to follow. I am fortunate
enough to have this dream become a reality," said Alexander.
Alexander represented the Seahawks at the 2010 USILA/LaxWorld
Division III North/South Senior All-Star Game while excelling in
the classroom as an economics major. He was selected as an
USILA Scholar All-American after earning a cumulative GPA above
3.0.
"Being an alumnus of St. Mary's, I look forward to being part of
the team once again. I owe this chance to Coach and would
like to thank him along with Scott Devine and Shawne McCoy,"
responded Alexander.
Last season, the Seahawks finished with their first 10-win season
since 2007 with the help of Alexander's strong leadership and
dedicated play, earning a 10-6 (5-2 CAC) record and advancing to
the conference semifinals.
