2025 marks coach Lawlor's third season at the helm of the Delaware Valley men's lacrosse program.
In 2024, Lawlor's Aggies won five games including a 11-8 win over MAC Freedom foe FDU-Florham. This season also made the record books when DelVal scored 24 goals and 28 points against Centenary (N.J.). Chris Marren notched a record breaking eight goals while Jack Sprinkle recorded six helpers.
In 2023, Lawlor posted six victories and saw senior Sean Mylod and first-year Daniel Aulisi be named to the All-MAC Freedom second team.
Lawlor brings eight years of coaching experience to the Aggies including his most recent two-year stint as full-time assistant men's lacrosse coach at fellow Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) member Lebanon Valley College.
While with the Dutchmen, Lawlor worked under prominent lacrosse coach John Haus where he helped bring in 36 recruits in two seasons and developed four all-conference players. He helped improve the team from two wins in 2020 to eight victories in 2022.
Prior to his time at Lebanon Valley, Lawlor spent two seasons as the head coach of the Northern Arizona University Lumberjacks in the Men's College Lacrosse Association (MCLA). In 2019, Lawlor led the program to the SLC-II Championship and MCLA Nationals for the first time ever.
Lawlor got his start in coaching at the high school level, spending one year at both Pope John Paul II and Lower Merion, before making the leap to the college ranks. He was hired as the offensive coordinator and face-off coach at Alvernia University where he had a stint as interim head coach in the summer of 2017. He departed from the Golden Wolves for an opportunity to coach at the Division I level as offensive coordinator and face-off coach at the University of Arizona.
A native of St. David's, Pa., Lawlor graduated from Rosemont College in 2015 with a bachelor of arts degree in communications after transferring from Ohio Wesleyan. He was a two-year starter for the Ravens and set single-game program records for assists (7) and points (9), and earned the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Sportsmanship Award in 2014. Lawlor went to high school and competed at perennial state powerhouse Radnor High School.
Lawlor is the third head coach in the young history of the Aggie men's lacrosse team. Last season, the squad posted a 6-11 record including a 3-5 mark in MAC Freedom play. Lawlor will be on the recruiting trail the rest of the summer before welcoming student-athletes back to campus in August. He can be reached directly at William.lawlor@delval.edu.
