Red Cascade Helmet 

The Claremont Cougars Men’s Lacrosse Club has upgraded our equipment by adopting the latest concussion-reducing helmet available: the new Cascade S helmet.

The campaign to purchase the helmets included voting by the donors, who overwhelmingly selected the red Cascade S helmet, shown above.

It is not too late to help the team adopt this new safety technology by going online at https://online.cmc.edu/mens-lacrosse-gift-page to make a donation through CMC. (Other methods of joining the campaign are detailed here: Cougar donation page.) 

Thank you in advance for supporting the team’s efforts to purchase the new helmets.

Scott Witkin Named Head Coach

The Cougars are pleased to announce that our assistant coach, Scott Witkin, has agreed to become the head coach starting immediately. 

Here is a link to more information about Coach Witkin's career:  Coach Witkin Biography

Claremont Lacrosse Head Coach Pete Ginnegar resigned at the conclusion of the 2018 season. The Cougars thank Coach Ginnegar for his dedication and leadership over the last 14 seasons. Pete Ginnegar will continue serving as the head coach of the Uganda National Lacrosse Team, and the Cougars send best wishes to Coach Ginnegar and the Cranes as they prepare for the 2018 World Games in Israel.

Team President Patrick Thomas CMC’19 noted that the Cougars are well positioned to transition to the leadership of Coach Witkin since he is a familiar force on the field and since only one senior, Desmond Goetomo CMC’18, is graduating this year.
