Coach for the 2009 Saints

	Luke Griemsman Head Coach Coach Griemsman will be the force behind developing the Aquinas College Lacrosse Team which will take the field in the spring of 2009. Griemsman brings to the Aquinas College an array of experience in lacrosse both as a player and as a coach. Coach Griemsman comes to Aquinas after most recently heading the lacrosse programs at Saginaw Valley State University ('06-'07) and Central Michigan University ('05). While at Central Michigan, Griemsman brought CMU to the Central Collegiate Lacrosse Association (CCLA) playoffs in their first year in the Division 1. At Saginaw Valley, Griemsman went 10-6-1 in 07, and was successful in getting them into the CLA Division 2.

	Griemsman's college experience began as a four year varsity player at Division I Michigan State University. After graduation from Michigan State, Griemsman's, a bachelor or arts graduate, joined the college coaching ranks as an assistant coach for his alma mater. On completion of a two-year stint as assistant coach, Coach Griemsman took the helm of the Michigan State Spartan's lacrosse program ('98-'99).

	For a short while, Griemsman took a small absence from coaching to pursue a degree in secondary education at Northern Michigan University ('99-'01). Griemsman revisited his love of lacrosse in 2001 by forming the Michigan State University Lacrosse Alumni Association of which he has been the President of since its inception. During this time, Griemsman also served as a member of the Asheville Lacrosse Club ('02-'03) in North Carolina.

	Coach Griemsman rejoined the coaching ranks as he served as an assistant track coach, assistant soccer coach and assistant boy's basketball coach at Apple Valley Middle School (NC). During this time, Griemsman also served as an assistant soccer coach at North Buncombe High School (NC) and a member of the North Carolina Lacrosse Officials Association ('02-'03).

	Griemsman, a current member of the Michigan Lacrosse Officials Association, will no doubt be a welcome addition to the Aquinas Athletic Department. "We are ecstatic that someone with Luke's experience and integrity will be heading this program. Luke will be a great addition to our staff here at Aquinas," comments Athletic Director Terry Bocian. Griemsman and his family currently reside in Saginaw, Mich. where he serves as a secondary substitute teacher for the Saginaw Intermediate School District.
