Men's Lacrosse Coaching Staff

Head Coach Andrew Rowe - Podcast

Andy Rowe begins his sixth season as the Quakers' head coach. He came to Guilford as an assistant men's lacrosse coach in 2003 and took over as interim head coach in 2005 after his predecessor resigned in January of that year. He lost the interim tag in May 2005 after guiding the Quakers to a 5-8 record that included the club's first Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) win in 12 years.

Rowe graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in May 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in government and politics. A two-time United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) honorable mention All-America pick, he helped the Battling Bishops to a 45-14 record in his four seasons and led the midfielders in scoring his last three years. His teams won three North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) titles and reached the NCAA Division III playoffs in 2000 and 2003.

Rowe played in the 2003 STX/USILA North-South All-Star Game, netting a goal for the winning South side. He earned First Team All-NCAC honors in 2002 and 2003 and concluded his career with 100 goals and 24 assists. Rowe tied Ohio Wesleyan’s record for goals in a game with a seven-goal outburst in the Bishops’ win over Stevens Institute of Technology in 2003. He had a career-high 44 goals and eight helpers for a personal-best 52 points as a junior.
A St. Louis, Mo., native, Rowe graduated from Penfield (N.Y.) High School in 1999.
