Mike Murphy, the Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach at the University of Pennsylvania, will not return next season, it was announced today by T. Gibbs Kane, Jr., Director of Athletics and Recreation.
“I want to thank Mike for his service to Penn men’s lacrosse and its student-athletes for the past 16 seasons,” Wren said. “While difficult, a change in leadership is needed to elevate the men’s lacrosse program to compete for Ivy and national championships. We wish Mike and his family the best in his next chapter.”
Murphy led the Penn program for 16 seasons from 2010-25, compiling a 109-96 record and a 44-40 mark in Ivy League play. He was also an assistant coach at Penn from 2001-02.
A national search for the next head coach will begin immediately.
