Longtime University of Denver men’s lacrosse coach Jamie Munro resigned Thursday, athletic director Peg Bradley-Doppes said.
Munro coached DU for 11 seasons, leading them to four Great Western Lacrosse League championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances. He leaves with a 91-70 career record.
“It’s been a wonderful ride at DU,” Munro said.
Murno’s departure comes after a tumultuous season at DU. Three players were kicked off the team midseason. Ilija Gajic, a junior, was removed last month after he was arrested for a fight at a bar in January.
Senior Brad Richardson and sophomore Jamie Lincoln were also removed from the team last month.
According to a report in the DU student newspaper, The Clarion, a woman was attacked Jan. 28 by a group of lacrosse players at a bar.
Sophomore Brendan Deblois was arraigned on charges from the same fight, the paper said. He was not kicked off the team. Only nine of 40 players on the DU roster last season played all 15 games.
