Nolan Connors begins his third season as assistant coach with the Union College men's lacrosse team.

In his role with the Dutchmen, Connors instructs attackers and offensive midfielders, handles offensive subsitutions during games and assists with practices.

Under Connors' direction in 2015, Union scored the second-most goals (236) in the Liberty League, averaging 12.4 goals per game. Connors worked closely with team offensive MVP Charlie Ross, who scored the most goals (47) in 23 Union seasons, and helped developed All-Liberty League selections in Cam Slatton and Tom Stanton.

A Niskayuna native, Connors played four seasons (2010-13) with the Dutchmen.  An attackman, Nolan compiled 48 goals, 26 assists, and 74 points in 56 career games, which included 31 starts.  He also recorded back-to-back 20-goal campaigns and served as team captain his senior season.

As a senior, Connors received All-Liberty League Team Honorable Mention and was named Liberty League Offensive Performer of the Week.
