Nick Myers completed his eighth season as head coach for the Ohio State men’s lacrosse team in 2014. He took over the program July 10, 2008, after three seasons as the top assistant for the Buckeyes.

In his first eight years as the Buckeyes’ head coach, Myers posted a 74-57 ledger with the squad earning a berth each year a conference tournament was held. He has led the Buckeyes to the first postseason title in program history, two Creator’s Trophy titles, a share of a league regular-season title, a spot in the NCAA quarterfinals twice (2013, ’15) and to a No. 3 seed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament en route to the program’s first NCAA tournament game at home.

The team’s community service numbers rise each year, with the program volunteering more than 2,000 hours in the community the last four seasons combined.

In 2015, Myers led the Buckeyes into a new era, as the Big Ten Conference sponsored men’s lacrosse for the first time. Ohio State, which ended the year 12-7 overall (3-2 B1G), advanced to the inaugural Big Ten Tournament championship game and earned an at-large spot in the NCAA Tournament. In the first round of the NCAA tourney, the Buckeyes went on the road and defeated two-time defending champion Duke before falling in the quarterfinals to eventual national champion Denver.

During the season, the Buckeyes claimed the Creator’s Trophy with road wins over Penn State and Michigan and topped three of the NCAA semifinalists while also hosting the Showdown in the Shoe before a crowd of more than 44,000 by the end of the game. Three Buckeyes earned USILA All-America accolades, as Jesse King and Robby Haus were named to the third team and Tom Carey was an honorable mention choice, while five were recognized by the Big Ten, with King and Carter Brown named First Team All-Big Ten. Academically.

As the top assistant under Joe Breschi at Ohio State from 2006-08, Myers served as the offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes, oversaw recruiting and handled other aspects of the day-to-day operation of the men’s lacrosse program.

Myers began his coaching career as the volunteer coach for the Buckeyes for two seasons (2002, ’03) and was on the Buckeye staff when the squad earned a spot in the NCAA tournament in 2003, the first appearance in program history, and shared the GWLL title.

He spent the 2004 and ’05 campaigns as the top assistant coach at Butler before rejoining the Buckeye staff in 2006. Myers played for Springfield College in Massachusetts, earning Division III All-America honors in 2001. He was a three-time All-NEWMAC selection and was the 2000 conference player of the year.
