Miller came to St. John’s after spending three seasons as the top assistant coach of the University of Massachusetts lacrosse program. While on the sidelines for the Minutemen, he worked with the defense and face-off units, helping lead the team to its first ever NCAA national title game in 2006. During the NCAA semifinal contest, the UMass defense held Maryland, one of the na- tion’s strongest offensive teams, to just five goals. The Minutemen’s road to the national championship game was arguably the toughest in the history of the tournament, as Massachusetts defeated No. 2 Hofstra, No. 3 Cornell and No. 4 Maryland before facing No. 1 Virginia in the final, as an unseeded contender. Under the tutelage of Miller, two Minutemen earned All-America honors, including Jack Reid, who was a finalist for the Schmeisser Award as the nation’s top defense- man. Reid was a first round pick in the Draft in June 2006. He was also the first first team All-America defenseman in UMass history. In 2005, Miller and the Minutemen ended Syracuse’s 22-year streak of con- secutive national semifinal appearances with a 16-15 victory over the Orange in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Minutemen were 33-15 in the three years Miller spent at Massachusetts, posting a 20-3 home record. Miller’s time with the Red Storm has been similarly successful, as St. John’s went 4-1 on its home turf in 2007. A new era of St. John’s lacrosse began on Sept. 1, 2006 as Jason Miller was Prior to his time at Massachusetts, Miller coached at the United States named the third head coach in St. John’s lacrosse history.

On March 31, 2007, Miller led the Red Storm to a since 1997. Miller learned under one of the best mentors in the collegiate 6-4 win over Rutgers, earning the first conference victory for the program since game’s history as he assisted National Lacrosse Hall of Famer, Jack Emmer, the its reinstatement in 2005.

St. John’s Set To Play In New BIG EAST Lacrosse League For 2010 Season In 2010, the St. John’s men’s lacrosse program will be moving out of the ECAC Lacrosse League and into the newly-formed BIG EAST Lacrosse conference. The forma- tion of the league was announced by BIG EAST Commissioner Michael Tranghese in June 2008, after a unanimous vote by the league’s 16 Directors of Athletics during their recent annual spring meeting. “The creation of a BIG EAST lacrosse confer- ence is a huge step for St. John’s lacrosse and the other members of the league,” said St. John’s Director of Athletics Chris Monasch. “The combination of the BIG EAST brand, its television influence and the quality of the member lacrosse programs will yield one of the best conferences in the country.” The six schools that will participate with St. John’s in the newly formed league are Georgetown, Notre Dame, Providence, Rutgers, Syracuse and Villanova. The teams will play a six-game single round-robin regular season schedule. The BIG EAST will apply for an automatic bid to the 16-team NCAA Championship field. “This is really a huge step forward, not only for our program, but for the sport in general,” remarked St. John’s head coach Jason Miller. “We’ve been able to build our program quickly over the past four years by playing in a great league, the ECAC. Mov- ing to the BIG EAST will enable us to continue that growth.” Among the new BIG EAST lacrosse members, Syracuse won the 2008 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse national title, the program’s 10th championship, after earning an at-large bid as a Division I Independent. Notre Dame also garnered a berth into the national tour- nament as an automatic qualifier from the Great Western Lacrosse League. Providence has been playing as a member of MAAC and Villanova currently plays in the Colonial Athletic Association. Dom DeNapoli
