Head Coach
Malcolm Chase
Malcolm Chase, a former assistant men's lacrosse coach
at Connecticut College, has been named head coach for men's lacrosse at the
University of Southern Maine. Chase replaces Ben Raymond who stepped down after three seasons to
concentrate on other professional opportunities. Al Bean, Director of Athletics
at USM, made the announcement. "This is a tremendous opportunity for me and the program," responded Chase
when asked for his reaction to being named head coach. "The sport continues to
grow in Maine and that is an untapped resource. This is an amazing opportunity
for the USM program to grow as the sport grows in the state. I hope to bring in
the top local talent and some of the best players from around the country."
Chase was the defensive coordinator/assistant coach at Connecticut College
for two seasons (2004-2005) where he "designed and implemented defensive
strategies." Prior to his two seasons at Connecticut College, he served for one
year as an assistant coach at Roanoke College. He is currently the head coach
of the Maine Select Lacrosse U19 team. A certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports
Medicine, Chase is working with the Maine Premier Lacrosse League. He received
a bachelor's degree in business administration from Whittier College in 2001.
Chase has worked at a number of lacrosse camps and was a featured speaker
at the 2005 US Lacrosse National Convention.
