Profile
Justin Ward joined the Army West Point men's lacrosse coaching staff in the summer of 2017.

Ward comes to West Point after spending three seasons at Georgetown as an assistant.

During his final year at Georgetown, Ward took over offensive coordinator duties and was responsible for developing the Hoyas attackmen, offensive personnel and extra man units. The Hoyas scored over 10 goals a game in 2017 and increased their goal output from 2016 to 2017 by 42 goals. He helped tutor Daniel Bucaro to one of the best seasons in Georgetown history with 40 goals and 53 points and was an All-BIG EAST first team member. Bucaro was one of three first teamers, which were the most in program history for a single season.

In 2016, Ward was instrumental in the development of rookie attackman Daniel Bucaro to a team-leading 31 points (18G, 13A) en route to being named the BIG EAST Freshman of the Year and earning All-BIG EAST second team honors.

In Ward’s first season on the Hilltop he helped senior attackman Bo Stafford and Reilly O’Connor earn All-BIG EAST honors, as the offense improved by nearly three goals per game. He helped guide the development of freshman Stephen Quinzi, who started all 16 games and finished third on the team with 20 goals.

Ward made his coaching debut on the Hilltop after a decorated career as a student-athlete with the Greyhounds. He was a two-time USILA All-America selection, 2014 First Team All-Patriot League selection and the 2014 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, after leading his squad to a 15-2 record.

Under Head Coach Charlie Toomey, Ward started all 19 games as a sophomore to help Loyola to a 2012 National Championship. The Greyhounds posted a winning percentage of over .800 during his four-year career in Baltimore. Ward holds the program's career assists record (120), the single-season assist record (53) and is sixth in school history in points (176).
