ELKINS, W.Va. -- David Pomeroy was named the new Davis & Elkins Director of Lacrosse, assuming head coaching duties for both the men's and women's programs, announced Monday.
Initially hired as the head women's lacrosse coach back in June, Pomeroy will also oversee the men's program following the resignation of previous head coach Evan Merrill, who accepted another coaching opportunity in North Carolina.
"I want to send a large thank you to the administration for their trust in me to direct both lacrosse programs at Davis & Elkins," Pomeroy said. "Ever since getting into the coaching realm, I have always wanted an opportunity like this to arise. We are ready to put both programs on the map and battle for conference championships."
Prior to his arrival in Elkins, Pomeroy worked as the inaugural head women's coach at NCAA DIII Marian University in Wisconsin since 2017. Working with assistant women's coach
Harley Kinney, Pomeroy has hit the ground running with his recruiting efforts for the D&E women's program in a short timeframe.
Pomeroy also worked with Black Lax high school club team since 2017 in Wisconsin in addition to his duties at Marian. A Baltimore, Maryland native and standout high school lacrosse player, Pomeroy spent much of his coaching tenure on the east coast.
Working for three seasons as an assistant women's coach and recruiting coordinator at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Pomeroy assisted with the Crimson Hawks' goalkeepers from 2013-2016. While in Indiana, Pomeroy helped IUP finish in the national rankings all three seasons while coaching six All-Americans.
Pomeroy worked throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with Intrepid Girls Lacrosse Club (2014-2016), as assistant coach at Indiana High School (2015-16), assistant coach at Kutztown University (2012) and head coach at Freedom High School (2011-12).
Pomeroy served as an assistant and head coach at various high schools, including Laramie, Wyoming (2007-08), and in Maryland at Dundalk (2009) and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (2009-10).
Pomeroy graduated from Rowan University with a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2012 before receiving his master's in sports management from IUP in 2016.
