Beloit College Men's Lacrosse

Kevin Lerg joined the Buccaneers as the head coach of the men's lacrosse program in June of 2021. Since taking over, he has increased the roster size each year and the team has improved in many statistical categories over five years. The 2026 season saw the program earn their most overall and conference wins since he took over. Under his guidance, the program has consistently been above a 3.0 team GPA and played an active role in the Beloit community through various community service programs. Lerg has coached the SAAC Male Freshman Athlete of the Year as well as a 2nd team NACC all conference player.  Lerg comes to Beloit from Hartwick College where he was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator since 2017. In four seasons with the Hawks, including the shortened 2020 campaign and a canceled 2021 season due to the pandemic, Lerg helped lead Hartwick to two Empire 8 conference tournament appearances. During that span, he coached a United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-American, an academic All-American, an All-Region honoree and eight all-conference selections. Prior to the stint at Hartwick, Lerg was the recruiting coordinator, defensive coordinator and assistant coach at Hiram College. He also has experience as a coach/instructor with Force Lacrosse based in Ohio.  A two-time team captain as a student-athlete at Adrian College, Lerg led his squad to four NCAA tournament appearances and a 33-0 conference record. Lerg was an all-conference selection three seasons and garners the most career wins in Adrian program history. While there, he also earned All-MIAA honors three times.  He graduated from Adrian College with a degree in Communication Arts in 2014 and earned a master's in Interdisciplinary studies from Hiram College in 2017.  Outside of coaching, Lerg enjoys spending time with his wife, Mykenzie and enjoys hobbies like running, golfing and reading.  "Beloit has provided me the opportunity to take over a program in a rough spot. It;s certainly a challenge but has been very valuable to have an impact on a group of young men on and off the field."  Year-by-Year Coaching Records
