During the 2025 season, High Point went 7-9 overall and 3-2 in the league finishing as the A10 regular season Runner-Up for the first time since joining the A10 in 2023. He guided the No. 2 seeded Panthers to the A10 Championship game for the second time after knocking off No. 3 seed Saint Joseph’s in the semifinals. Following the Championship game, four players were named to the A10 All-Championship team, including Luca Accardo, Justin Wixted, Ryan Hynes and Zack Overend.   During the regular season, HPU defeated two ranked opponents, first on the road against No. 16 University of Massachusetts (14-9) and then at home against No. 16 Saint Joseph’s (11-9). Eight Panthers were named to the A10 All-Conference team including Luca Accardo (First Team), Owen Bunten (Second Team), Zack Brenfleck (Second Team), Ryan Hynes (Second Team), Collin Rovere (Second Team), Zack Overend (Second Team), Carson Robins (All-Rookie), James Westbrooks (All-Rookie), Collin Cooke (All-Academic) and Jack McAdams (All-Academic). This was the largest amount of post season awards the Panthers had received since becoming a member of the A10. Crawley took over at the helm for High Point as the second head coach since the inauguration of the men's lacrosse program in 2010. He joined the Panthers after spending the 2023 and 2024 seasons as an Assistant Coach and Offensive Coordinator/Recruiting Coordinator at Johns Hopkins University. During his two-year stint with the Blue Jays, he was appointed the offensive coordinator in June of 2022 while also serving as the program's recruiting coordinator. During the 2024 season, the Blue Jays posted an 11-5 overall record with a 5-0 record in the Big Ten Conference to be crowned the Big Ten regular season champs. Johns Hopkins earned one of the eight at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament and matched up with Lehigh from the Patriot League in the first round. Making it past LeHigh, 13-10, in the opening round of the tournament, a heartbreaking one goal loss in double overtime of the NCAA Quarterfinals against Virginia ended the Blue Jays' season. Crawley helped the offense average 11.56 goals per game with a 17th ranked .309 shot percentage in the country. In 2023, Crawley helped guide the Blue Jays offense to 12.56 goals per game with a .329 shot percentage on the year. The 12.56 goals per game is the second-best average at Hopkins since 2004 and the team's shooting percentage was the highest for Johns Hopkins since 2015. The Blue Jays went 12-6 on the season with a 4-1 conference record. The Blue Jays made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before falling to the 2023 National Champions Notre Dame, 12-9. Crawley's return to Homewood came after spending three years as an assistant coach at Lehigh University. At Lehigh, Crawley served as the offensive coordinator of a Mountain Hawk offense that ranked among the nation's best throughout his tenure. Lehigh ranked 15th in the nation in scoring offense during the COVID-shortened 2020 season (14.00) and jumped into the top 10 in 2021 (14.08), when the Mountain Hawks advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013. Overall, during Crawley's 33 games as Lehigh's offensive coordinator, the Mountain Hawks averaged just under 13 goals per game and the three single-season scoring averages of 14.08, 14.00 and 11.40 to rank as the three highest averages at Lehigh in the last 20 years. Crawley began his coaching career at Notre Dame in 2018 and helped the Irish to the ACC Tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. At Notre Dame, he worked closely with the offense and faceoff unit. He then moved to Colgate for one season (2019) before joining the staff at Lehigh. Crawley was a four-year standout for the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team from 2014-17. The two-time captain and two-time Honorable Mention USILA All-American played in all 64 games during his four-year career at Johns Hopkins and started the final 30. He totaled 70 career goals and 30 assists, including career highs of 21 goals and 11 assists for 32 points in 2015, when he helped lead the Blue Jays to the NCAA Semifinals and the inaugural Big Ten Tournament title. He earned a spot on the 2015 NCAA All-Tournament team. In addition to his time at Johns Hopkins, Crawley has also played professional lacrosse in both Major League Lacrosse and the Premier Lacrosse League. He was selected 33rd overall by the Charlotte Hounds in the 2017 MLL Draft and played two seasons for the Hounds. He rang up 26 goals and 10 assists in the MLL before moving to Atlas LC in the PLL, where he played four seasons. What They're Saying About Crawley: "We are truly excited for John and the opportunity for him to be the head men's lacrosse coach at High Point University.  His passion, knowledge and vision for the game made a deep and lasting impact on our program and the men who played for him at Johns Hopkins over the last two years.  I am certain that he will carry those same traits with him as he leads the way at High Point. The Panthers are gaining an exceptional representative to High Point University and we wish him the best of luck as he begins this next chapter in his coaching career." - Peter Milliman, Johns Hopkins Head Coach "I could not be more excited for John. He is one of my closest friends in this industry. High Point is getting someone that cares at an extremely high level.

Torpey has led the High Point University men's lacrosse team since its inception, having been named the program's first head coach in 2010. In just three seasons of NCAA competition, Torpey has built HPU into a program that has qualified for one NCAA Tournament and missed another berth by one goal.   He brought in the program's first recruiting class and led the team to three wins in the first season of NCAA competition. Torpey guided HPU to its first program win in the second game of the 2012 season, a 9-7 victory over Towson on Feb. 8, 2013. Towson would go to the NCAA Tournament at the end of the season. The Panthers also picked up wins over Michigan and Mercer in the inaugural season.   HPU improved in 2013 with a 9-7 record and a co-regular season Atlantic Sun title. The Panthers fell one game short of the NCAA Tournament with an 8-7 setback to Richmond in the A-Sun Championship game. During the season, Torpey coached conference players of the year Dan Lomas (Offensive) and Austin Geisler (Defensive) as Lomas earned All-American honors.   Torpey and the program continued to grow in 2015 with a 10-7 record and a Southern Conference tournament championship and subsequent berth in the NCAA Tournament. The Panthers contest at Towson was the first time an HPU mens team participated in an NCAA Tournament game. The Purple & White earned their first win over a ranked opponent against No. 20 Richmond in the SoCon title. Lomas once again earned conference offensive player of the year while Geisler and Pat Farrell became the first two players in program history to be selected in the Major League Lacrosse Draft.   The Panthers are 22-26 in three seasons with an 8-3 record in conference games.

"Jon Torpey is an incredible coach who gives instant credibility to the High Point University men's lacrosse program," said HPU Athletic Director Craig Keilitz after Torpey was hired. "He has a proven record of on-field success as both a coach and player. Just as important, Jon really understands the off-field aspects of coaching, including recruiting high-character student-athletes who will excel athletically and academically and will represent HPU in a positive way on campus and in the community."

"One word comes to mind when I think of High Point University: excellence," said Torpey. "Every single thing they do at High Point University is for the development of the students whether it's academically, personally or athletically and everything is top notch. When I met Craig Keilitz and the athletic department staff and coaches, it was obvious that it's more than a department, it's a family and everyone is committed to helping the student-athletes reach their maximum potential. I am extremely excited to join HPU and start building the men's lacrosse program from the ground up." At Dartmouth, Torpey assisted in all aspects of the program, including recruiting all over the United States and Canada. He was responsible for monitoring educational progress and organizing successful fundraising efforts. As defensive coordinator, he coached the 2010 Big Green to the third-lowest goals against in the Ivy League and led the team to the second-best penalty-killing percentage in the league.
