Coach Brad Priesinger's athletic journey began on the ice, where he played competitive hockey at the AAA and Junior levels. He made a bold switch to lacrosse during his senior year of high school—and it paid off immediately. Recruited to play Division I, Brad took his talents to UMBC, where he spent four years shaping his skills at the collegiate level. He started as a Long Stick Midfielder (LSM) in his freshman year, then anchored the defense for the next three seasons as a starting Close Defenseman. Over his career at UMBC, Brad earned both all conference and all tournament honors, earning a well deserved reputation for toughness, discipline, and skill. After college, Brad turned his passion into coaching, sharing his defensive expertise at both the youth and high school levels. Drawing on his hockey background, he brings a “blue collar” mentality to the lacrosse field—teaching grit, discipline, and a relentless work ethic.
