He became the programs fifth head coach and brought six years of NCAA Division II coaching experience to the Golden Knights program.

A new era of Saint Rose mens lacrosse has begun and were thrilled to have Alex Williams leading the way for our Golden Knights. He brings instant credibility with his success as a student-athlete and coach. Alex is passionately driven and focused on establishing a championship caliber program built on relationships through accountability, trust, chemistry, and a commitment to be the best on and off the field, said Lori Anctil, Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics, at the time of his appointment. Alex has a well-deserved reputation and proven track record of recruiting and developing talented players of high character who succeed on the field, in the classroom and in the community. He possesses a tireless work ethic and a clear vision for excellence.

Williams spent the past three years as the First Assistant Coach at fellow NCAA Division II member Frostburg State in Maryland where he helped lead the Bobcats to a 22-10 overall record, including an 11-2 mark against Division II institutions.

I am extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to be the next Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Saint Rose. I want to thank Lori Anctil and the entire search committee for their belief in me to lead this program. I am excited to work with great young men and continue to build on a strong foundation, while competing in the Northeast-10 Conference, the best conference in Division II lacrosse. I would also like to thank Head Coach Steve Gartelman and Athletic Director Troy Dell for their continued support and mentorship during my time at Frostburg State, said Williams. Lets go Golden Knights!

Williams duties with the Bobcats focused on the defensive side of the field along with faceoffs and extra-man and man-down situations. His efforts helped Frostburg State finish second in the country in caused turnovers per game and eighth in scoring defense this past spring.

The Bobcats also produced a pair of 2021 United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-Americans, five USILA North All-Region players, and 11 East Coast Conference All-League performers, including the Defender and Rookie of the Year. Frostburg State was also ranked #12 in the USILA National Coaches Poll.
