Former Sachem Standout Named Head Coach

Suffolk Community College, Michael J. Grant Campus Director of Athletics Sam Braunstein has announced that former Assistant Coach Brendan Chamberlain has agreed to become head coach of the lacrosse team at the college. Chamberlain comes to Suffolk after stints as a top assistant at Stony Brook University, Butler University, and Shenandoah University.
