Men's Lacrosse Head Coach Kurt Glaeser
| |
|
Through fifteen seasons as head coach of the University of Mary Washington men's lacrosse, Kurt Glaeser has made the Eagles one of the most competitive squads in the Mid Atlantic Region. A two-time Capital Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Glaeser led his 2002 squad to the Capital Athletic Conference championship game, and set the school record with eleven wins. The Eagles returned to the title game in 2003 on the heels of a ten-win season, and in '04 defeated tenth-ranked Cabrini College in another ten-win season in which the Eagles received their first-ever national ranking. In '06, the Eagles knocked off nationally-ranked Hampden-Sydney College for the first time ever.
Glaeser, who also serves as head coach for UMW's nationally-renowned women’s soccer program, has posted over 250 combined wins in the past decade, and been honored with eight conference Coach of the Year awards. In addition to the lax program's evolving into a power, his women's soccer team has also thrived, advancing to the sweet sixteen in 2003 after upsetting second-ranked Messiah College in the regional semifinals, and moved to the elite eight in 2004 by topping Ohio Wesleyan in the sweet 16.
A fine player in his own right, Glaeser's playing career began as a midfielder at famed Loyola High School in Baltimore, MD, and continued both as a midfielder and an attack at Western Maryland College. In 1978, under legendary coach Bill Thomas, Glaeser (a tri-captain and all-conference selection) helped the Green Terror to its first Middle Atlantic Conference title. His post-collegiate career included playing experience with several club teams. Prior to coming to Fredericksburg, Glaeser was the head coach at Drew University, in 1981 and 1982. He received his master of arts degree from Montclair State College in physical education.
A coach with a multi-sport background, Glaeser, his wife Linda, and children Matt and Suzannah live in Fredericksburg. His son, Matt, plays collegiate soccer at the University of Hartford.
