Another Bear Takes Charge

Jim Kim isn’t the only Brown alum assuming a leadership role at Dartmouth. new men’s lacrosse coach Andy Towers, a Big Green assistant since 2005 and former head coach at Hartford, was Brown’s first two-time First Team All-American and the 1993 Ivy Player of the Year for the nationally ranked Bears. He’s long wanted to be a head coach in the Ivy League, which he calls “the best lacrosse league in the country.” That means he’s got his work cut out for him, since Dartmouth finished 4-11 in an injury-plagued season last year. Towers seems pumped to get a turnaround in the works. “The season starts right now,” he says, adding that Dartmouth has one of the more unique programs in Division I. “our freshmen get a chance to play a lot in the fall because the juniors aren’t here,” he says. “our administration is behind us. We can do a lot of good things here.”
