Colby College

Peter Lasagna joined the Colby Men's Lacrosse coaching staff as a volunteer coach in the winter of 2023.

Lasagna comes to Colby after completing 22 seasons as the head coach of men's lacrosse at Bates College where he retired from in 2022. He led the Bobcats to nine appearances in the NESCAC Championships and two appearances in the NCAA Tournament.

In 2017, Lasagna was named the "Walter Alessi Man of the Year" by the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association and also earned NEILA's Division III Co-Coach of the Year award. During that 2017 season, Lasagna guided the Bobcats to a 14-0 record to start the year, including a perfect 10-0 mark in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) regular season and the No. 1 ranking in Division III for two weeks. 

Coach Lasagna led Bates to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2015, where the Bobcats advanced to the Sweet Sixteen before falling to eventual national champion Tufts. Lasagna was named both New England Coach of the Year by the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association and NESCAC Co-Coach of the Year by the New England Small College Athletic Conference.

Lasagna graduated from Brown University in 1982 where he coached for 18 years including eight as a head coach before coaching at Bates. He won more NCAA playoff games at Brown than any other Brown head coach.

A well-known voice in the collegiate lacrosse community, Lasagna has also been the back-page columnist for the award-winning magazine Inside Lacrosse since 2001.

In 2002, Lasagna was inducted into the New England Lacrosse Hall of Fame, and in 2011 he was inducted into the Greater Rochester (N.Y.) Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
