“Zach and I go way back. I had the struggle of coaching against him during his playing days and he joined me in the daunting task of starting a college program from scratch. He is a guy that is trustworthy and loves GC Lacrosse. He gives his all to the players and pushes them to be great. I’m glad he is on our staff.” – Coach Bates
