Matt Brown joins Pioneers’ men’s lacrosse coaching staff

DENVER – Former DU men’s lacrosse standout Matt Brown has rejoined the program, this time as a volunteer assistant coach, head coach Jamie Munro announced today. A four-year starter for the Pioneers, Brown tallied 113 goals, fourth on the Pioneers’ career goals list.
“Matt is a tremendous addition in both knowledge and character,” Munro said. “We are lucky to have him onboard.”

While at DU, Brown played in 56 games and accumulated 137 points, the sixth-best total in Pioneers’ history. He was named First Team All-GWLL at attack, earned Preseason All-America honorable mention honors, and was named GWLL Player of the Week, all as a senior. Brown was a three-time Face-Off Classic all-tournament team member. Brown was named the GWLL Newcomer of the Year in 2002 after leading the team in points and goals and was named to the All-GWLL second team as a junior.

“Its great to be part of this staff,” said Brown. “I am excited to be with this program on this level and can not wait to see our team compete.”

Lead by Brown, the Pioneer lacrosse program gained national attention, tying for the GWLL title in 2003 and 2005 and finishing with a then school-high ranking of No. 18 in 2005.

Upon completing his DU career, Brown was drafted fifth overall by the Arizona Sting of the National Lacrosse League, where he played in all 18 games accumulating 40 points. This past summer Brown played for the Denver Outlaws of Major League Lacrosse, leading the League in goals with 38 and fourth in the league with 46 points, as well as most game-winning goals. Brown had a 60% shooting percentage. In addition to his coaching duties, Brown runs Destinations by J&M, a property management company. Brown has also coached high school and club lacrosse in Arizona.

A native of Burnaby, British Columbia, graduated from DU with a B.S./B.A. in finance marketing in 2005. Brown resides in Denver.
