NEW LONDON, Conn.—Ray LaForte, an assistant football and track coach at the Coast Guard Academy for the past 14 years, has been named the Associate Head Coach and head-coach- in-waiting of the men’s lacrosse team that will become a varsity sport in the Spring of 2015.

Current men’s lacrosse head coach Gary Weller will remain in his current role for the next two seasons, guiding the program’s transition from club to varsity status, where they will compete in the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) before he steps down. LaForte will take over as the head coach after the 2015 season.
