Camp Director

Coach Baxter and the Fairfield University Men’s Lacrosse Team’s Coaching Staff will be directing camp this summer!

A coaching veteran with nearly two decades of collegiate experience, Andrew Baxter was named the Head Coach of Fairfield University Men’s Lacrosse on June 10, 2019. Baxter had served as Defensive Coordinator at Yale University since 2013 and was elevated to Associate Head Coach following the 2018 campaign.

In his first season leading the Stags, Baxter guided Fairfield to a 5-2 record. The mark was bolstered by a 4-0 mark on Conway Field at Rafferty Stadium. In that abbreviated campaign, the Stags led the CAA and ranked eighth in the nation in scoring at 16.43 goals per game.

After navigating his team during the Covid-19 circumstances that prematurely ended the 2020 season and truncated the 2021 slate, Baxter led the Stags to wins over Lafayette and crosstown foe Sacred Heart in the spring campaign.

In 2022, the Stags posted a five-win improvement with a 7-7 mark — their highest win total since 2016. Fairfield also won a pair of CAA games to snap a 16-game conference losing streak.

As Recruiting Coordinator at Yale, Baxter was integral in assembling the squad that won the 2018 National Championship and returned to the title game in 2019 in addition to claiming two Ivy League Regular Season Championships and four Ivy League Tournament Championships. His defensive unit has led the Ivy in scoring defense in each of his last six seasons and ranked among the top 15 nationally in five of his seven campaigns in New Haven.

Before heading to Yale, Baxter was the Defensive Coordinator and Recruiting Coordinator at Ohio State, where he managed the fourth-ranked defense in the nation in 2012. He mentored 2011 ECAC Lacrosse League Defensive Player of the Year Matt Kawamoto, who was also a USILA All-America Honorable Mention in 2011 and a USILA Scholar All-American in 2012.

Baxter is no stranger to CAA Lacrosse, having spent time as both the Offensive Coordinator (2004-05) and Defensive Coordinator (2006-08) at Drexel. His tenure in Philadelphia concluded with the Dragons ranked seventh nationally in scoring defense in both 2007 and 2008 en route to a share of the CAA Regular Season Championship in both campaigns. Baxter also managed the Drexel faceoff men, ranking as high as fifth in the nation on the draw in 2008.

Baxter began his coaching career as an Assistant Coach at Colgate University for the 2002 and 2003 seasons.

As a student-athlete at Springfield College, Baxter made a pair of NCAA Division III postseason appearances. He graduated from Springfield in 2001 with a degree in Movement and Sports Studies.

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Baxter graduated from Brighton High School. He and his wife, Marika – also a Springfield College graduate – have two children, Rae, born in 2010 and Frankie, born in 2014.
