Brett Asher '09 was announced the new head coach for the Bulldogs women's lacrosse program on July 2018.

Asher becomes the fifth coach in the team's 11-year history.

For the previous two seasons, Asher has assisted his wife, Amanda (who played on the first Adrian women's lacrosse team in 2008), with the Concordia University--Ann Arbor women's lacrosse program. Asher focused on the team's offensive unit, but supported in all aspects of the team to include recruiting, formulating game plans and opponent scouting reports, working with the team's goalies, and assisting with scheduling, supervising team study tables, and running the team's social media platforms.

Asher also has club lacrosse experience with the Michigan Wave Lacrosse Club, as Director of Operations and Assistant Coach. He coached players for the high school club team from Northville, South Lyon, Novi, Mercy, St. Catherine, Plymouth, Canton, Salem, Lake Fenton, and Powers Catholic high schools.

"Brett is a Bulldog at heart so he knows the pulse of our campus," Adrian athletics director Michael Duffy said at the time of Asher's hiring. "He has an extensive network of contacts with high school and club coaches in the state of Michigan and throughout the Midwest, so that experience will help in building our roster. I share his vision in restoring the stature of Adrian College Women's Lacrosse among the elite in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association."

No stranger to Adrian College, Asher received a bachelor of arts degree in English and graduated summa cum laude. He was a four-year student-athlete on the Bulldogs men's basketball team, serving as co-captain for his 2008-09 senior season. He was named the squad's co-most valuable player that season and also earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
