Dan Sheehan, the only coach at Le Moyne College to lead his team to a national championship, has served as the men’s lacrosse head coach for 16 seasons. One of the nation’s most successful lacrosse coaches, he enters his 17^th season with a 220 – 40 (.846) overall mark. Since the turn of the century, Sheehan’s Dolphins are 208 -23 (.900).

The 1995 Ithaca College graduate has guided Le Moyne to 11 NCAA tournament berths in the last 12 years – its only trips to the national tournament in program history. Sheehan is a seven-time Northeast-10 Conference Coach of the Year, 2000 USILA Division II Coach of the Year, and 2010 Field Turf Division II Coach of the Year.

In 2013, Sheehan led the Dolphins to their fourth National Championship in the last 10 years with an 11 – 10 victory over Mercyhurst University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After entering the Northeast-10 Conference Championships as a third seed, the Dolphins knocked off Saint Anselm at home before defeating #6 Merrimack (8-4) and #2 Adelphi (7-5) on the road to claim their 11th Northeast-10 Conference Championship. Seeded third in the NCAA Tournament’s North Region, Le Moyne started its run to a fourth national title with a 9-8 overtime victory over second-seeded LIU Post in the first round. The following week, the Dolphins rallied from an early deficit to beat top-seeded Adelphi University, 16-13, in the National Semifinals to earn their seventh berth in the title game.  Dan’s first championship season came in 2001 when his Dolphins produced a 12 -3 record and the Northeast-10 title. After that, it was either NCAA championships or runners-up through this year. His 2013, 2007, 2005, and 2004 players all wear NCAA rings.

A 1991 graduate of West Genesee Senior High, Dan resides in Camillus with his wife Kate and children Kevin, Ryan, and Margaret.
