Chris Delfausse has been named the head coach of the men's lacrosse team at Adrian College.

Beginning in the 2007-2008 academic year, Adrian College will offer an opportunity for athletes unlike any other college or university in Michigan: the chance to play NCAA varsity lacrosse.

Adrian College and others currently have club teams, but no institution in Michigan is currently competing as a fully qualified men's or women's NCAA varsity team.

"I am very excited to be the first head coach in men's lacrosse at Adrian College," stated Delfausse. "This is a very historic time for Adrian and I look forward to the challenge."

Delfausse comes to Adrian via Wake Forest University, where he was the top assistant for the Demon Deacon Club Team.

Delfausse has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Sciences from Connecticut College. While at Connecticut College, Delfausse was a defensive midfielder for four years on the varsity lacrosse team.

While working as the assistant coach at Wake Forest, Delfausse is finishing up a Master of Arts degree in Counseling. He also works for Wake Forest in the Athletic Services Department as an academic tutor for the athletes.

Back in 2003, he was a member in the AmeriCorps in Denver, Colorado.
