Biography

Former men's lacrosse great Connor Buczek '15 was elevated to the Richard M. Moran Head Coach of Men's Lacrosse in the spring of 2020 after spending five seasons on staff, first as a volunteer assistant coach for two years and then as an assistant coach for three seasons. He has served as the offensive coordinator since 2018, and his duties have also included working with the goalies. Buczek guided Cornell back atop college lacrosse in 2025 as the Big Red ranked No. 1 in the nation for eight straight weeks en route to the program's first National Championship in 48 years, defeating No. 2 Maryland 13-10 for Cornell's fourth title all-time. The team finished the season with an 18-1 record, including five wins over top-20 teams during the regular season en route to an outright Ivy League Championship and the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament. As an assistant coach, Buczek used his knowledge of Cornell's offensive systems to help turn the Big Red into one of the most powerful offenses in the country, year-in and year-out. A three-time All-American at Cornell, including consecutive first team honors over his final two seasons, Buczek graduated as the top scoring midfielder in Big Red history with 155 points. The 2014 Ivy League Player of the Year, he was a three-time unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection.
