EAGLES LACROSSE 2023 • 1
Welcome to Gonzaga Lacrosse, It’s with great excitement that I welcome friends, family, and fans for the 2023 season. Whether you are a current student or future Eagle, player or family member, or even an opposing fan, welcome to Eye Street. This is a special place and I welcome you back to Buchanan Field. While I’m a 13-year veteran of the Gonzaga Lacrosse program and have been honored to be part of a coaching staff that won nine championships in the WCAC, last year was my first season as Head Coach. We had a strong year in 2022, both on and off the field. While we fell just short of our ultimate goal of winning the WCAC Championship, the Eagles made their 10th straight championship appearance and achieved a solid 14win season, in what I believe is the most competitive conference in the nation. Building off the strong foundation we laid last year, we are excited to make another run at it in 2023. This year’s team is more determined than ever, prepared to compete. They are committed and focused on a common goal - to contend for a championship. Working alongside my fellow coaches we continue to drill in a spirit of discipline, teamwork, and grit. I am especially proud of the team’s efforts in the off season. The players have worked hard, not only to build their strength and stamina, but to build their bond, creating a real brotherhood, a real family. That brotherhood has extended off the field as the players have embodied Gonzaga’s motto of being ‘Men for Others.’ The Gonzaga Lacrosse team is honored to partner with the Sacred Heart Cemetery (Enslaved Burial Grounds Project) and I am so proud of our players work to give back and make a positive impact in the community. On the wall in my office hangs a plaque with a quote from Bear Bryant, probably the greatest college football coach of all time. It says, “Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.” For me, developing character is far more important than developing stick skills, groundballs, or footwork. Developing character is about building on the lessons taught for more than 200 years at Gonzaga. It’s about instilling in each player the core values of courage, respect, and responsibility. These are the pillars of our players character and will empower each of them to succeed on and off the field. I can’t imagine a better school to be a coach at than Gonzaga. I appreciate your continued passion and support for Gonzaga Lacrosse and look forward to seeing you throughout the season on Buchanan Field.

W W W. GONZAGALACROSSE. C O M The Jesuit Tradition
The Spirit of Gonzaga
Jesuits and education. These two words combined denote excellent preparation for young people anywhere in the world. Jesuits and their lay colleagues seek to bring to full expression the talents of young people within the Christian tradition in their schools. This has been the case in Washington since 1821, when Gonzaga’s venerable predecessor, the Washington Seminary, was founded. In 1858, the name changed to Gonzaga College when President Buchanan signed the Act of Congress incorporating the school legally. Then, the school was located on F Street, N.W. It moved to North Capitol and Eye Streets, N.W. in 1871. Throughout that whole time, the school sought, and seeks, to help young people grow towards religious, intellectual and social maturity. Committing itself to a downtown location in the 1960s, Gonzaga serves a uniquely diverse student body, from all points of the compass. Students come here, and with the best advice and help, construct their own schedule of learning which will best help them develop their strengths. These include, for our students, commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ, dedication to academic excellence, personal service to other people, especially those in need, and deep and fulfilling involvement in sporting and other co-curriculars.
At Gonzaga there is a tremendous sense of community; all Washington knows that Gonzaga students are outstanding, spirited, special persons. Because of Gonzaga’s amazing location, her students are on-the-scene participants in the cultural, intellectual, and political happenings of the Federal City. More importantly, students come to Gonzaga from every part of the entire metropolitan area. Increasingly, they use Metrorail to nearby Union Station; many come by Metrobus, commuter rail and carpool. Gonzaga students learn from one another. They are intellectually talented and racially, economically, geographically, and socially diverse. Gonzaga’s spirit embraces them and brings them all together in a caring, warm community where they meet other students who will be among their closest life-long friends.
Academic Challenge Gonzaga offers outstanding academics. Gonzaga students work hard to complete a sophisticated academic program in which they learn how to understand the thoughts and achievements of others as they learn themselves to think and achieve. They learn to read and write effectively, to appreciate and create beauty, to understand that people are wonderfully diverse.

Gonzaga graduates enjoy an intellectual balance because they have studied deeply in various subjects. At Gonzaga, students grow increasingly responsible for their own learning. Gonzaga teachers—intellectually and humanly competent and experienced men and women— care most deeply that their students grow and learn. They stress in each course skills which will last and support further learning. And they are warm, friendly people whom students comfortably seek out for needed help.

Gonzaga students participate in an amazing variety of activities. Play rehearsals, football practice, and newspaper deadline rushes draw students together and bring them into close contact with faculty members who coordinate school activities. Gonzaga students develop responsibility, discipline, and skills of working together effectively through activities and sports. More importantly, they have fun together. Gonzaga’s athletes compete on teams in: • Baseball • Basketball • Crew • Cross-Country • Football • Golf • Swimming • Lacrosse
• Rugby • Soccer • Water Polo • Tennis • Track • Wrestling • Diving • Ice Hockey
Homerooms also sponsor intramural teams in 3 sports. Almost every student is involved in some club or organization.

The Gonzaga Lacrosse Community acknowledges with great admiration and appreciation the continued and generous support of our sponsors: The Acumen Group Francis J. Collins Funeral Home, Inc. The Leland Family
EAGLES LACROSSE 2023 • 29
The Bahor-O'Neill Endowed Scholarship Fund Established in honor of the two formative coaches in the history of Gonzaga lacrosse: Peter Bahor (1985-1995) and Casey O'Neill '96 (2001-2021). This fund provides annual scholarship assistance to students in need who embody the qualities both coaches instilled as they established the winning culture that is the hallmark of Gonzaga Lacrosse under their leadership -- Never Give Up, God and Family, Accountability. The Bahor-O'Neill Scholarship fund was initiated by a single generous donation on the occasion of the 1992 Gonzaga Lacrosse Team's enshrinement into the Gonzaga Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016. At the request of the original major donor and of Coach Bahor himself, the name of the fund has added the name of Coach O'Neill following his retirement from the program in 2021. The goal is to grow this to a "fully'' endowed scholarship to offset the full cost of one years' tuition - and we are inviting the entire Gonzaga Lacrosse community to join this effort. The Bahor-O'Neill Endowed Scholarship Fund is a great way to support Gonzaga's Bicentennial and to learn more, please contact Dave Dugan '98 at ddugan@gonzaga.org
