Maine Maritime Academy Director of Athletics Eric Sabean has announced the appointment of Adam Sherman as the Mariners' head coach. Sherman, who has served on the Academy's football staff since last July, will assume his new duties immediately. He will also retain a role with the football program.
"We are thrilled to have secured a coach with such a broad array of talents," said Sabean. "Coach Sherman brings energy and enthusiasm to the department on a daily basis and his passion as a coach and educator has been obvious since he arrived last year."
Sherman brings nine years of playing experience to his first lacrosse coaching position. His lacrosse playing days culminated with his All-New Hampshire selection as a high school senior. In addition to his time on the field, the Amherst, N.H., native has extensive indoor experience and played under current Notre Dame assistant, Gerry Byrne.
"I am very excited to for this opportunity and I am eager to be a part of this great community," said Sherman. "As a program, I look forward to building on the previous successes and competing for a first-ever NAC championship."
A four-year letterwinner in football at Springfield College, Sherman earned a degree in Communications in 2008. He began his coaching career at Souhegan High School in Amherst, N.H., in 2007 before making the jump to the college game last year, joining the Maine Maritime Academy staff as the offensive line coach.
