Following one of the more distinguished playing careers in the storied history of Nazareth College lacrosse, Jake Coon is back for his fifth season as an assistant coach.

Coon was the team's starting goalie for four seasons and in 2000 became the program's first-ever four-time All-American. He was a first-team selection in 1998 and 2000, each time being awarded with the Ensign C. Markland Kelly Jr. Award as the Outstanding Goalie in Division III. As a freshman in 1997, Coon was the starting goalie on a Nazareth team that captured the NCAA Division III championship.

A native of Homer, N.Y., Coon was a three-sport standout there. At Nazareth, he set records for most career saves (769) and lowest single season goals-against average (7.32 in 2000). He also holds the NCAA Division III Tournament record (as well as the Nazareth school record) for most saves in a game with 32.

Coon has a degree in social science and still plays professionally for the Rochester Rattlers.
