Christopher Newport University

Andy Meyers joined the Christopher Newport men's lacrosse coaching staff in the summer of 2021 after compiling an impressive résumé as both a standout coach and player.
 
During his first two years with the program, Meyers has helped the Captains record a 37-5 record while spending five weeks ranked first in the USILA National Coaches Poll. Along the way, Christopher Newport advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2022 before reaching the Final Four in 2023.
 
Among his many contributions to the program, Meyers has helped oversee one of the nation’s leading faceoff units. The Captains ranked 17th in the country with a .628 faceoff percentage in 2023 after leading the NCAA in ground balls per game with a 45.75 average in 2022.
 
Under Meyers’ watch, 14 players have earned All-American honors over the past two seasons, including Warner Cabaniss, who earned national recognition as a faceoff specialist during each of his first two collegiate campaigns.
 
For his efforts, Meyers was celebrated as a member of the IMLCA Region 3 Coaching Staff of the Year in 2022.
 
Prior to arriving in Newport News, Meyers gained experience coaching at a variety of levels, including two seasons at Otterbein University. With the Cardinals, he worked as the defensive coordinator while assisting in nearly every facet of the program. Overall, Otterbein posted a 15-6 record during his stint, including an 11-4 campaign in 2021.
 
In addition to his time with the Cardinals, Meyers also gained extensive experience working at the high school and club levels. Among his stops, he served as the head lacrosse coach for the Midwest Top Gun Lacrosse Club and was the associate head coach at Blue Valley West High School. He also spent time as a coach with True Lacrosse in Columbus, Ohio.
 
Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Meyers was a decorated standout at Carthage. From 2016-18, he made his presence felt as a faceoff specialist and defensive midfielder while helping the program claim a pair of CCIW championships.
 
On an individual level, he set a new school record with a .720 faceoff percentage and was celebrated as the conference’s Co-Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. Eventually, he was a two-time All-League selection and graduated with a .660 career faceoff percentage, which marked the second-highest in program history.
 
Equally successful in the classroom, Meyers graduated from Carthage with a degree in history in 2018. For his efforts, he was honored with the prestigious CCIW Jack Swartz Academic All-Conference Award as the school’s top male student-athlete in 2017.
 
Along with his time at Carthage, Meyers has also competed on the international circuit as a member of the Ireland National Men’s Lacrosse Team, including an appearance at the World Lacrosse Championship in 2023.
