ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's lacrosse program has named Scott Bieda its newest assistant coach, head coach Kevin Conry announced Wednesday (July 20). Bieda fills the role vacated by Justin Turri, who was recently named head coach at St. John's.
Bieda, a Rutgers alum, has spent the last six seasons as an assistant coach at Lafayette College, including four seasons as offensive coordinator. The Leopards averaged 12.07 goals per game in 2022, and Bieda mentored Peter Lehman, who earned second-team All-Patriot League in 2022 and the league's rookie of the year honor in 2021.
"Scott is one of the great young offensive minds in the collegiate landscape," said Conry of the addition. "His character and integrity on and off the field will be a welcome addition to our program, and we look forward to him helping guide our student-athletes as we continue to build the foundation of our program and culture."
The Bridgewater, N.J., native began his coaching career under current U-M associate head coach Jim Rogalski, serving as volunteer assistant coach during the 2017 season.
Bieda had a standout career at Rutgers, earning Big Ten Player of the Year in 2016. In addition, he was a first-team All-Big Ten member in 2015 and 2016 and was a three-time All-Tournament team honoree. He went on to craft his trade of the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse during the 2017-18 seasons, where he was teammates with former Wolverine standout Kyle Jackson.
