Chris Lewis

Biography

Chris Lewis became the third head coach in Rollins men's lacrosse history on June 26, 2015 after serving as the Interim Head Coach for the final two months of the 2015 season. Lewis led Rollins into uncharted territory in 2023, guiding the Tars to a 15-2 overall record, the program's first-ever SSC Regular Season title and first-ever SSC Tournament crown, as well as the first NCAA postseason contest in program history. A 1988 graduate of SUNY Oswego, Lewis brings more than a decade of coaching experience in both football and lacrosse to the Rollins sideline. Prior to his work with the Tars, Coach Lewis was named the head assistant coach for the Northeast Ten Conference-powerhouse Merrimack College Warriors before the start of the 2008 season, where he worked on the defensive side of the ball and quickly brought the unit to rank as one of the top defensive and man-down squads in Division II. During Lewis' tenure at Merrimack College, the defensive players collected numerous postseason awards, with goaltender Cory Spinale earning All-American honors and winning the Division II Goalie of the Year award at the conclusion of the 2010 season.
