The 2019 team was the first to earn a trip to the postseason after earning the No. 4 seed in the MAC Freedom Tournament with a 13-5 victory over FDU-Florham on the regular season's final day. Jaques led the Colonels to their most wins since the rebirth with nine during the 2019 season and also coached his most All-Conference selections with six. Andrew Moynihan became the first Wilkes player to earn a major award as the freshman was named the MAC Freedom Specialist of the Year and to the First Team as a faceoff specialist. JT Weitzel also was selected to the First Team while John Wink and Alex Myers were Second Team selections. Jack O'Connell and Carter Whittemore were selected to the Honorable Mention all-conference team.

In 2018, Jaques led Wilkes to 8 wins, at the time, a new high, and three wins in conference play as the team finished in the a four-way tie for the final MAC Freedom tournament spot. Jaques also coached four all-conference performers, placing two on the second team (Weitzel, Wink) and two on the first team (Nicholas Ruggiero, Garrett Armstrong). Ruggiero and Armstrong additionally earned All-ECAC honors for their performances on the first and honorable mention recognition, respectively.

In 2017, Jaques reached several milestones for the program, including the first victory (2/25 vs Keystone) and first MAC Freedom victory (4/19 at DeSales). The Colonels won four games during the regular season, and placed two players on the all-conference teams (Evan Stolicker, first team; Weitzel, second team).

Jaques took hold of a rebirth of a program in 2016 that competed at the varsity level throughout the 1970's, capturing a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship in 1975. The 1975 squad was also inducted into the Wilkes Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007-2008.

Jaques comes to Wilkes after five seasons on the sidelines as an assistant coach for the VMI mens lacrosse team, a program near and dear to the 2007 alumnus. While at VMI, he worked primarily with the teams offense as well as serving as the programs recruiting coordinator.

Jaques returned to VMI after a two-year stint at SUNY Geneseo, where he worked with the defense and served as top assistant to head coach Jim Lyons. At Geneseo, Jaques helped guide the squad to a No. 13 ranking in the final 2009 USILA Division III poll.
