Contact Scott Meehan
Scott Meehan (Washington and Lee '12) was announced as the fifth head coach of the Saint Joseph's men's lacrosse program in July of 2025. Meehan, who enters his eighth season on Hawk Hill in 2025-26, joined the St. Joe's coaching staff in January of 2019 and previously served as associate head coach.
Over the first three seasons of Atlantic 10 play, Meehan has helped mentor 33 Hawks to A-10 All-Conference accolades (12 First Team, 12 Second Team, nine Rookie Team), while Levi Verch was twice (2024, 2025) named A-10 Defensive Player of the Year, and Ben Dutton (2024) and Jesse Jason (2025) were named A-10 Rookie of the Year.
Following the graduation of the program's top three all-time goal scorers, St. Joe's reloaded the roster for the 2025 season as it earned its third consecutive A-10 Tournament appearance, and nine Hawks earned All-Conference honors. Individually, Meehan guided Dutton to conference recognition as the top rookie, while he ranked sixth nationally in goals per game (3.13).
In 2024, St. Joe's posted a 12-4 record and made its second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Along the way, 10 Hawks earned All-Conference honors, with Jesse Jason and Levi Verch being named A-10 Rookie and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively. The Hawks earned the league's automatic bid with a 17-13 win over No. 17/18 Richmond in the A-10 Championship, before falling to No. 5 Virginia in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Prior to the Atlantic 10's addition of men’s lacrosse in 2023 the Hawks captured the NEC title in 2022, and the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
In a shortened 2020 season due to COVID-19, Meehan worked with rookie attackmen Levi Anderson (15g, 9a) and Matt Bohmer (14g, 6a), who averaged 3.4 and 2.9 points per game, respectively, through seven contests. As a unit, SJU’s offense put up 72 goals on the year for an average of over 10 goals per game and scored double-digit goals in six of seven total competitions as the Hawks went 5-2 overall.
In a 2019 season in which SJU finished the year 7-7, Meehan guided freshman attackman Ryan Doran (18g, 11a) to NEC All-Rookie Team honors. Doran finished his first collegiate season tied for first on the squad in goals and shots (67) and ranked second in assists, points (29), shots on goal (41), and man-up goals (4). He also added an impressive 33 ground balls, which ranked second on the entire squad, in 14 starts on the attack.
Meehan arrived on Hawk Hill as offensive coordinator in January of 2019 by way of Binghamton University, where he was an assistant coach with the Bobcats since August 2018.
Prior to that stop, Meehan spent two seasons as the offensive coordinator at conference-mate Mount St. Mary's during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons. Meehan coached an offense that ranked 18th nationally in both points per game and assists per game and 23rd in scoring offense. In Meehan's two seasons at the helm of the Mountaineers' offense, MSM improved from 8.7 goals per game to 11.2 goals per game.
Meehan served as a volunteer assistant at the University of Richmond for the 2015-16 season, where the Spiders were ranked as high as 18th nationally and finished the spring at 11-5 overall, their highest ranking and best finish in program history.
Beginning his coaching experience at Franklin and Marshall College, Meehan took on the role of head assistant from Summer 2012 through Fall 2015, where he oversaw offensive schemes and the extra man offense and coached three All-Americans. In 2013, the Diplomats' coaching staff was tabbed the Centennial Conference Coaching Staff of the Year.
Meehan was a four-year attackman at Washington and Lee University from 2009-12, where he notched 93 points (49g, 23a) and served as team captain in a senior season in which he went for 30 goals and 23 assists en route to team MVP honors.
Meehan graduated from Washington and Lee with a degree in economics in 2012 and resides with his wife, Nicole (formerly Miller), the current head women's lacrosse coach at Shippensburg University.
