Kyle Hannan became only the third head coach in the history of
Goucher College's men's lacrosse program when he was appointed to
the position in November 2000. He is into his eighth season with
the Gophers.
It didn't take long for the Gophers to blossom under Hannan. In his
first year at the helm, the team finished above .500 for the first
time in program history by going 13-3. Not only was Hannan
recognized as the top coach in the Capital Athletic Conference that
season, but he was also the recipient of the C. Markland Kelly
Award which goes to the top collegiate coach throughout
Maryland.
Hannan has guided the Gophers to 65 wins since arriving at Goucher
from Colorado College, where he was head men's lacrosse coach for
two seasons. Prior to that he held the same position at Virginia
Wesleyan College for five years. His overall record after 13
seasons as a head coach is 118-97.
Hannan attended Franklin High School in Baltimore County before
graduating from Salisbury University in 1986 with a B.S. degree in
physical education. He was a four-year starting midfielder at
Salisbury, helping the Sea Gulls to three appearances in the NCAA
Division III playoffs. In 1985, Hannan received the Charles B.
Clark Award as Salisbury's best all-around player.
The 44-year-old Hannan launched his coaching career as a graduate
assistant at Salisbury from 1986-88. Later he was the top assistant
on the men's staff at Hobart College, and while he was there, the
Statesmen won Division III national championships in 1990, 1991 and
1993.
Hannan is an active member of the United States Intercollegiate
Lacrosse Association and either has served or is serving on the
following committees: Division III All-America Selection, Division
III Ranking, Scholar All-American and Division III Coaches
Advisory. In 1998, he was selected to coach in the annual
North/South College All-Star Game.
Hannan and his wife, Angie, are the parents of an 8-year-old
daughter, Margo, and 5-year-old son, Kade.
