More than any other sport, professional lacrosse players play a pivotal role in the health of their game by passing on their knowledge through coaching. MLL Press Box will highlight the current players in MLL who are carrying on that coaching legacy at the collegiate and high school levels in the Coaches Corner.
Lehigh - Kevin Massa, Assistant Coach
The Mountain Hawks toppled No. 13 Princeton, 15-10, on Tuesday after scoring 10 of the first 11 goals of the game. Massa (Charlotte Hounds) and his Lehigh club improved to 6-5 on the season and 4-1 at home. They face Cornell this Saturday before closing out the regular season against Bucknell next week.

Skidmore - John Maloney, Assistant Coach
The Skidmore men (6-5) surrendered an overtime goal to Union in a 10-9 loss on Wednesday. It was the second straight loss for John Maloney (Chesapeake Bayhawks) and the Thoroughbreds after reeling off five straight wins prior. They'll look to rebound on Saturday against RPI.
