Mike Morgan enters his eighth year as Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Merrimack in 2014-15. Morgans first four seasons were as successful as any Division II mens lacrosse coach ever, as he became the first head coach to win 50 games in four seasons when Merrimack defeated Le Moyne on May 6, 2011. Along the way, he also guided the Warriors to their first-ever NCAA Final Four appearance (2009) and a Northeast-10 Championship (2010). In 2010, the Warriors recorded a 13-3 record, defeating top-ranked and then-unbeaten Le Moyne in the Northeast-10 Championship in overtime, becoming just the second team in 42 games to defeat the Dolphins in Syracuse. The 2010 Warriors featured first-team All-American and Northeast-10 Goaltender of the Year, Cory Spinale, and the Northeast-10 Rookie of the Year, Lunney. In each of his first two coaching seasons, Morgan guided the Warriors to back-to-back school records for wins, including an NCAA Final Four appearance in 2009. Merrimack finished 14-3 that spring, with all three losses coming against Le Moyne, while finishing second in the conference and with a final No. 4 national ranking. Morgan coached Greg Rogowski to his fourth All-American honor and to a Northeast-10 and NEILA Player of the Year selection that spring while expanding his recruiting efforts to a national level to locations such as Texas and Minnesota. In 2008, he led Merrimack to a 12-4 record and a third-place conference finish in his first year guiding the Warriors. Setting what was then a school record for wins in a season, Morgan was named the Northeast-10 Coach of the Year and the NEILA Coach of the Year. Spinale was tabbed the NE-10 Goalkeeper of the Year and an All-American honorable mention, while Rogowski earned his third All-American honor. Morgan previously served as an assistant coach at Merrimack, working primarily with the defense. Prior to his arrival at Merrimack, Morgan served as the head lacrosse coach at St. Dominic High School for four seasons. He led the team to 38 wins in four years, the most in school history over a four-year stretch, and his teams were 24-1 against schools of comparable size. Additionally, his team GPA was ranked in the top two of the schools athletic teams over all four years. In 2005, Morgan was selected to evaluate and coach the Long Island Empire State Lacrosse Team. He also guided St. Dominic to its first-ever Class AA Championship Game. He still holds the all-time record at St. Dominic, where he was both captain and Team MVP in 1994, 1995 and 1996. Morgan was a CHSAA All-League selection in 1995 and 1996. A 2000 graduate of Merrimack College, Morgan was named an All-American in 2000 when he earned First Team All-Northeast 10 and All-New England honors. That year, he was also named New England Player of the Year. He was a key member of the 2000 squad that captured Merrimacks first Northeast-10 Championship and two ECAC Championships (1999, 2000). Morgan resides in North Andover, Mass., with his wife Allison, and their daughter Brooke.
