Denver wouldn’t be the lacrosse capital of anything without the influence of DU head lacrosse coach Bill Tierney. But the 2023 season — Tierney’s 14th with the university — will be his last
In January, snow piles up against the fences at Peter Barton Stadium. Melting reveals a phrase written on the walls surrounding the field – a phrase describing the University of Denver Lacrosse program: “Lacrosse Capital of the West”
“I thought it was a great opportunity to, number one, help the program, but number two, help grow the game out West,” Tierney said prior to a brisk winter practice in preparation for DU’s preseason opener on Jan. 28 against Johns Hopkins. Assistant coach Matt Brown, who will likely take over the DU lacrosse program when Tierney steps away, along with Tierney's son, Trevor, co-founded the LXTC Lacrosse Training Center to develop the next generation of great lacrosse players in Colorado.“Being a Colorado local kid and seeing the growth in the high school game and the youth game as soon as [Tierney] started coming out here and bringing that buzz, it’s completely taken off,” said Law, DU class of 2013.
