welcome
A Message from the Coach Welcome to James Madison University lacrosse! As the head lacrosse coach it is with great pride that I share our nationallyranked program and university with you. It is an honor and privilege to be the head coach of my alma mater. The opportunity to come back to JMU has been a dream come true. Entering my eighth year back at JMU, the school has grown, the town has grown with it, but the feeling you get being on this campus and the sense of community still remains the same. JMU has always valued every individual on its campus and creates an environment like no other university to learn and grow as a person. Student-athletes have an excellent support system surrounding them with our coaches, student-athletes services staff, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, sports psychology, sports media and administrative staff. They work tirelessly to coordinate their efforts to provide the best possible experience for the JMU student-athlete. “All Together One� is the JMU motto, and it is truly what our student-athletes experience. JMU encourages a well-balanced person and will challenge every aspect of the student-athlete -- academically, athletically and socially. JMU goes beyond the student and teaches about social responsibility within the community and prepares you for any obstacle you may face in the future. The university has established itself with national recognitions in many academic categories and is always evolving to chase its goal of being the best undergraduate university in the nation. As the coach, I am looking to recruit hard-working individuals who are team players and are committed to being the very best they can be both on the field and in the classroom. Our goal is to win the CAA conference annually and compete for the national championship. We are excited about the future of JMU lacrosse and hope you will join us.

xx service community
The Dukes serve their community in a variety of ways each year and have been awarded the Exemplary Community Service Award twice (2010, 2012). This year, the team joined with the Mercy House of Harrisonburg to collect items for those in need. They spent the afternoon collecting socks and canned goods and then dispersing the items where necessary. They also donated their time and skills to the Potomac chapter of US Lacrosse and helped host a clinic for girls lacrosse players in the area. In 2011, JMU adopted Elle Howdershell through the “Friends of Jaclyn” program. Although Elle lost her battle with a brain tumor in Fall 2013, the Dukes have continued to support and connect with the entire Howdershell family.
Siblings of Elle Howdershell of the Friends of Jaclyn program joined the 2012 team for the introduction of starting lineups and the playing of the national anthem.
“We graduate student athletes who are ready to make an impact in the community.” -- Coach Shelley Klaes-Bawcombe
