Taylor came to Haverford from Arcadia University where he spent the previous four seasons as head coach.

“I would like to thank Wendy Smith and the entire athletic department for the opportunity to lead the Haverford College men's lacrosse team,” said Taylor at the time of his hiring. “I am excited to join a very passionate and collaborative community at Haverford College which I knew was a great fit the minute I stepped on campus. I am thrilled to work with Haverford’s incredible student-athletes and look forward to continuing the legacy of Haverford lacrosse.”

“We are excited to welcome Nick to the Haverford athletic community,” said athletic director Wendy Smith ’87. “His commitment not only to the team's on-field success but also the development of the whole student-athlete made him an ideal choice to lead the team as it strives to build on its recent success.”

During his time at Arcadia, Taylor’s teams climbed the MAC Commonwealth standings and tied the program’s record for wins in a single season during the 2018 campaign. Four players earned All-MAC Commonwealth recognition under his guidance, while 48 student-athletes were named to the MAC Academic Honor Roll.
