The 2011-2012 campaign will be the first for Andy Routt at Defiance College, after he was named the assistant coach for the DC men’s lacrosse program on December 21, 2011.

Routt brings plenty of coaching experience with him to Defiance, after serving as the head coach for the Cincy Royals summer club program from 2007-2011. Routt was also the head coach at a pair of high schools in the Cincinnati area, leading Turpin High in 2009 and Seven Hills High during the 2011 campaign.

Prior to beginning his coaching career, Routt played collegiately at NCAA Division II Saint Leo for one season before transferring to the University of Cincinnati. During his time with the Bearcats, Routt started at the goalie position on the club team for three seasons.

Routt graduated with a degree in journalism and a minor in history from Cincinnati in 2010, and will work towards a master’s degree in education from Defiance.
