Greg Carroll begins his 10th year as head coach Bob Shillinglaw's top assistant with the University of Delaware men's lacrosse staff in 2009. He was promoted to the position of associate head coach on Dec. 6, 2005.

"Greg has given tremendous contributions to the Delaware men's lacrosse program," said Shillinglaw in announcing Carroll's promotion. "He coaches with tremendous passion and enthusiasm and has great rapport with the players. He has been a tremendous asset as a recruiter along with all aspects of the program, especially coaching the defensive end of the field. His contributions will continue to assist our goal of being one of the top teams in Division I."

Carroll, who serves as Delaware's defensive coordinator, played a big role in helping the Blue Hens post the finest season in school history in 2007. The Blue Hens went 13-6 overall, captured the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament title, and advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the first time in school history. Delaware stormed past defending national champion and No. 2 seed Virginia by a 14-8 score in the first round, defeated No. 13 ranked UMBC 10-6 in the quarterfinals at Navy, and trailed eventual national champion Johns Hopkins 3-2 late in the third quarter before falling to the Blue Jays 8-3 in the national semifinals before a record crowd of 52,004 fans at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium.

During his tenure at Delaware, he has led Blue Hen teams to five 10-win seasons, including an 11-6 mark in 2005 when the Blue Hens captured the Colonial Athletic Association regular season title and advanced to the CAA Tournament championship game before falling to Towson 9-8 in the title game. The Blue Hens are one of only four teams in NCAA Division I men's lacrosse to win at least 10 games each of the last four seasons (2004-07).

Despite the championship game setback, the nationally-ranked Blue Hens earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament and travelled to No. 5 seed Navy where they suffered a hard-fought 9-7 setback.

Delaware posted a 10-6 mark in 2000 when the Blue Hens tied for the America East regular season title and advanced to the tournament championship game. In 2004, the Hens posted a mark of 10-6 and fell to Villanova in the Colonial Athletic Association semifinals. In 2006, the Hens went 12-5 and again advanced to the CAA title game before falling to No. 2 ranked Hofstra. During the 2008 season, the Hens went 9-7 and advanced to the CAA semifinals.

A native of Long Island, NY, Carroll, 33, was a standout player at Harborfields High School and moved on to a four-year career at Loyola under head coach Dave Cottle.

While with the Greyhounds, Carroll played four varsity seasons, appearing in 40 career games and leading nationally-rankd Loyola to four straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

After finishing his playing career in 1997, Carroll began his coaching career in 1998 at Severn Prep High School in Severna Park, MD while finishing his undergraduate studies at Loyola. He moved on to the college ranks where he served as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Washington & Lee College in Lexington, VA.

While at Washington & Lee in 1999, he helped lead the Generals to a record of 13-2 and a berth in the NCAA quarterfinals. The Generals won the Old Dominion Athletic Conference title with a 6-0 mark and led the nation in scoring defense at 5.2 goals allowed per game. Washington & Lee ended the season ranked No. 2 in the USILA poll.
