Marc Lea

Head Coach

During the 2010 season, Marc Lea reached a number of significant milestones in his coaching career. In his tenth season at the helm of the Mustangs, Coach Lea led Cal Poly to their second consecutive league title, earning his 100th career victory in the WCLL Championship game. The Mustangs also earned their 6th trip to the MCLA National Tournament, including a trip in each of Coach Lea’s previous five seasons. The successful 2010 season culminated in Coach Lea being named the Western Collegiate Lacrosse League’s Coach of the Year.

As the team gears up for the 2012 season, Coach Lea is ready to embark upon an even more successful era of Cal Poly Lacrosse. With an extremely talented and experienced squad returning, the Mustangs are aiming for their fourth straight WCLL championship and have their sights set on rising higher on the national stage. With an MCLA National Championship as the ultimate goal, Coach Lea and the Mustangs will be striving for the best finish in team history.

Over the course of his eleven years as the head coach, Lea has compiled a 114 - 61 record and helped guide the Mustangs from a scrappy lower division club into a perennial player on the MCLA national stage. His success and dedication to the game have not gone unnoticed, and Coach Lea was named the WCLL Coach of the Year in both 2001 and again in 2010.

Coach Lea has been involved with Cal Poly Lacrosse and the WCLL for over two decades, and has witnessed the continued development of lacrosse at this university and all across the West Coast. He is dedicated to establishing Cal Poly as one of the premier “virtual varsity” lacrosse teams in the nation, while maintaining an atmosphere that encourages as many people as possible to learn and enjoy the game.

Marc is a Cal Poly alumni (Ecological Biology graduate, '93), and played on the Mustangs’ squad from 1989 - 1993. Away from the sidelines, Coach Lea works as a biologist specializing in invasive plant management and native habitat restoration. He lives in San Luis Obispo with his wife, Michelle, and their two young daughters.
