Head men's lacrosse coach Kevin McKeown has announced the addition of Larry Kline to the staff as a defensive coordinator.

Kline served as an assistant men's lacrosse coach and defensive coordinator at Stony Brook from 2017 until present after spending the 2016 and 2017 season at UMass Lowell as the defensive coordinator.

"It is with great excitement that we welcome Larry Kline back to Binghamton University," McKeown said. "He has had a plethora of success both as a player and as a coach. As a four-time captain within our program, there is no doubt that Coach Kline is the right man for the job. He will be an outstanding mentor for our young men as we move forward towards our quest of an America East Championship."

At Stony Brook, Kline helped the Seawolves win the America East regular season, coaching 2019 AE Defensive Player of the Year Ryland Rees and two America East first-team defensive selections. At Lowell, he helped decrease their goals against average by three points over his two years leading the defense, which led the conference in Ground Balls in 2017.

Prior to that, Kline spent three years at Washington College as both an assistant men's lacrosse coach and as an assistant director of the JFC and Strength and Conditioning. As a coach specializing in goalie development, Kline educated two All-Conference goalies (Peter Stewart '12, Ted DiSalvo '14) and helped lead the Shoremen to the Division III National Semifinals in 2014.

Before his move to Washington College, Kline was an assistant coach in 2011 for his alma mater, Binghamton University. As a player, Kline was a goalie and four-year captain for the Bearcats, helping lead them to America East Tournament in each season. Kline ranks third all-time in school history in goals against average (9.20), second in saves (384), third in save percentage (.522) and third in wins (11). He was a three-year member of both the America East All-Academic Team and the America East Commissioner's Honor Roll.

A Dean's List student at Binghamton, Kline earned a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics, and Law from the school in 2008, graduating cum laude. After graduation, he spent two years as a staff assistant and systems administrator in the office of Congressman John Tierney (MA-06) in Washington, D.C. Kline continued his education while at Washington College, earning his M.A. in Psychology in 2013.
