Silberlicht, who also served as the head coach of the Latvian National Team at the 2018 FIL World Lacrosse Championships, had a successful first year as the goalkeepers coach as well as an assistant with the BU defense. He coached sophomore Joe McSorley to an outstanding first season as the starting goalkeeper. An Academic All-Patriot League selection, McSorley finished 12th in the entire NCAA and first in the Patriot League with an average of 11.59 saves per game. He was also second in the Patriot League with a .520 save percentage.

Silberlicht joined the Terriers after spending the last five seasons as an assistant coach at Bowdoin. He helped guide the Polar Bears to four winning seasons during his tenure there, including back-to-back 10-win campaigns over the last two years.

Under Silberlicht’s guidance at Bowdoin, four players earned USILA All-America accolades this past season, including goalkeeper Peter Mumford. In addition, three Polar Bears received All-New England honors.

Prior to his role at Bowdoin, Silberlicht began his coaching career at Lynchburg College in Virginia. He served two seasons as an offensive assistant with the Hornets before joining Bowdoin in the summer of 2012.

Silberlicht is no stranger to Division I lacrosse, having shined as a goalkeeper at Hobart. A three-and-a-half-year starter for the Statesmen between the pipes, he posted a 9.24 goals against average with 18 wins, both program records. Silberlicht also recorded 553 saves with a .576 save percentage, both of which are second all-time at the school. In 2008, he broke the Hobart single-season goals against average (8.05) before breaking his own record the following year (7.91).

A native of New Hartford, New York, Silberlicht graduated Hobart in 2010. He then earned his Masters' degree in Educational Leadership from Lynchburg in 2012.
