Harvard men's lacrosse made an addition to its coaching staff in Summer 2025 with the hiring of Andy Meyers, who is set to join the program as an assistant coach. A decorated leader at the Division I level, Meyers will take over as the defensive assistant with the Crimson. The Frisbie Family Head Coach for Harvard Lacrosse, Gerry Byrne, is thrilled to welcome Meyers to the program and feels he will help the Crimson continue its recent run of success in the years to come.
 
"We are thrilled to add Coach Meyers to our program. His energy, defensive acumen, legendary work ethic and passion for players' skill and personal development will be a powerful addition to our staff," said Byrne about Meyers. "He brings a resume that charts a course of professional development across D3 and D1 and that reflects his belief in learning, loving the game and building great programs. We cannot wait to see the impact he will have on our program."
 
In his new role with the Crimson, Meyers will be working with the Crimson's defensive unit and will take over different areas of the preparation and development of his players. Meyers is excited to arrive in Cambridge and begin working with Harvard Lacrosse.
 
"I could not be more thrilled to be joining the Harvard men's lacrosse program and the greater Harvard University community," said Meyers. "I first want to thank Coach Byrne for the opportunity to become a small part of such an incredible institution and program, and I look forward to working alongside him, Coach Hutchinson and Coach Terranova. Most of all, I am excited to build meaningful relationships with all of the Harvard men's lacrosse student-athletes and helping to create an undefeated experience over their 4 years in Cambridge. Go Crimson!"
 
Meyers joins the Crimson after a successful run as an assistant coach with Penn State University lacrosse program. With the Nittany Lions, Meyers was responsible for the faceoff unit that became one of the best in the nation under his guidance. The success of the group was critical in helping the team reach Championship Weekend in 2025 as one of the final four teams remaining. Overall, the Nittany Lions posted a 23-10 record in Meyers' two years in Happy Valley
 
Prior to his appointment at Penn State, Meyers spent two seasons at Christopher Newport University. Meyers helped the Captains to a 37-5 record while spending five weeks ranked at No. 1 in the USILA Division III National Coaches Poll. In that time, 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 helped oversee one of the nation's best defensive units. In 2022, the CNU defense led the country in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency and Caused Turnovers Per Game while limiting opponents to an average of 7.75 goals per game.

In addition to his role as defensive coordinator, Meyers 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 defensive and faceoff personnel earned All-American honors during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. This included Max Wayne and Ryan Young, who earned National Defenseman of the Year honors in 2022 and 2023 respectively, and 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 at Christopher Newport, 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 associate head coach at Blue Valley West High School. He also spent time coaching on the club circuit with Midwest Top Gun in Kansas City and with True Lacrosse in Ohio.
 
Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Meyers was a decorated standout at Carthage College. From 2016 to 2018, he made his presence felt as a defensive midfielder and faceoff athlete while helping the program claim a pair of CCIW championships.
 
On an individual level, he set a new school record with a .720 faceoff winning percentage and was celebrated as the conference's Co-Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. Eventually, he was a two-time All-CCIW selection and graduated with a .660 career faceoff percentage while picking up 360 groundballs, both of which rank as the second highest mark in program history. Meyers has also competed on the international circuit as a member of the Ireland National Men's Lacrosse Team, including appearances in the World Lacrosse Championships in 2018 and 2023.
 
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. In May of 2021 Meyers earned his Master of Science degree in Allied Health from Otterbein University.
