WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross men's lacrosse head coach J.L. Reppert has announced the addition of Zach Chandler as an assistant coach. 
 
"We are thrilled to welcome Coach Chandler to our Crusader lacrosse program," Reppert said. "Zach stood out in our hiring process for his energy, intelligence, thoughtfulness and drive. He has selflessly led programs to great success as a player and coach. I am excited for him to use these experiences to mentor our young men. A relentless recruiter and disciplined worker, Coach Chandler's approach to coaching will impact our program in our climb toward consistent competitive excellence."
 
Before arriving at Holy Cross, Chandler served as a graduate assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Springfield College (NCAA-DIII) where he coordinated the team's defensive schemes, directed the team's defensive scouting, helped build practice plans, and directed recruiting. Last season, the team ended the year as NEWMAC Regular Season Champions, and the staff earned Coaching Staff of the Year honors. 
 
Chandler's coaching journey also includes a two-year tenure as the Program Coach/Offensive Coordinator at 3D New England, where Chandler coached and mentored the 3D New England 2026 "Red' Team that included 15 Division I commits.
  
A native of Niantic, Conn., Chandler earned his degree in government & legal studies with a minor in history from Bowdoin in 2022. While at Bowdoin, Chandler was a two-year captain, earning USILA All-American and All-New England honors as a senior.
