Meet the CoachBrendan McWilliams is the Head Coach of Men’s Lacrosse/Director of Lacrosse, overseeing both the men’s and women’s programs at Emmanuel. Previously, he was at the helm of the Kenyon College program, where he led the Lords to an NCAA Division III tournament appearance and was named the North Coast Athletic Conference Lacrosse Coach of the Year in 2006. In his last two seasons at Kenyon, McWilliams produced 15 all-conference players, as well as one All-American and two North-South All-Stars. During his tenure, the lacrosse program earned national rankings from both the USILA and the NCAA.
Before coaching at Kenyon, McWilliams spent time as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at the University of Vermont and as an assistant coach at Tufts University. In between his stints at Vermont and Tufts, McWilliams spent two seasons as the head coach at Cherry Creek High School in Denver, Colorado, where he guided the 2002 boy’s lacrosse team to a 16-2 record and a Colorado state championship. As a student-athlete at Colorado College, he was a two-time captain of the lacrosse team and was selected to play in the prestigious North-South All-Star game.

FacilitiesThe Saints’ home venue is unlike any in Boston. The team plays on the brand-new synthetic turf field at Roberto Clemente Field, located across the street from Emmanuel’s campus. With its open-stadium design and the city’s skyline as its backdrop, Clemente Field makes for a unique playing experience. The facility is outfitted with new MUSCO lighting, scoreboard and plenty of spectator seating. In addition, the Saints have access to a state-of-the-art training facility in the Jean Yawkey Center, a new film room for game tape review and scouting, and a new locker room for men’s lacrosse. The St. Joseph Hall Fitness Center is updated with new platforms, racks, free weights, plate-loaded equipment and a separate cardio room.
“Coach McWilliams epitomized the work ethic, dedication and
competitiveness necessary to succeed as a student-athlete at
Colorado College. It is these qualities that make him a great fit for
Emmanuel College. With his knowledge, experience and
tremendous ties to the Boston area, he is the perfect choice to
lead this program.”
Steve Beville Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach, SUNY Cortland 2009 USILA Division III Coach of the Year
Great Northeast Athletic ConferenceThe 2012 season will be the inaugural year for men’s lacrosse in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC). The conference champion will receive an automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA Division III Championship Lacrosse tournament beginning in 2013. Participating teams will include Emmanuel College, Emerson College, Lasell College, Mount Ida College, Norwich University, Rivier College, Saint Joseph’s College (ME) and associate members Daniel Webster College and Becker College. Emmanuel College will play its inaugural season of Div. III lacrosse as a member of the GNAC in the spring of 2012. The Saints will also play a competitive out-of-conference schedule against nationally
recognized programs.
“For the student-athlete who is looking for a first-rate college
experience in the heart of Boston, as well as the opportunity to play
Division III college lacrosse, Emmanuel College is a great option.”
