Pat March is in third year overseeing the high scoring Princeton offense.

Under March, Princeton has finished third (in 2018) and second (in 2017) in Division I in scoring offense, and the Tigers averaged 14.2 goals per game in those two years combined.

The 2018 Tiger offense featured the nation's leader in assists and points per game and shooting percentage, as well as two Major League Lacrosse offensive middies.

During his first season, March helped Princeton to the No. 2 spot in Division I in scoring offense and the No. 1 spot in Division I in team shooting percentage.

Princeton made a 50 percent jump in scoring offense in March's first year, going from 10 goals per game to just under 15. The 2017 Tigers were the third highest scoring team in program history.

In addition, Princeton had the school single-season points record-setter, the nation's leader in goals per game and two offensive players chosen in the Major League Lacrosse draft.

As the offensive coordinator for the previous three seasons at Vermont, March helped the Catamounts go from 55th in Division I in scoring offense to twice finishing 11th, including 2016, when UVM averaged 12.35 goals per game. Vermont also ranked in the top 15 nationally in all five offensive categories - scoring offense, shooting percentage, man-up offense, points per game and assists per game.

The Catamounts had their best season ever in 2016, reaching the America East championship game before falling by a goal. March coached Ian MacKay, the America East Offensive Player of the Year and a third-team All-America, as well as five all-league selections.

March spent two seasons coaching at Division III Dickinson College, during which time the team rose to as high as No. 2 nationally and won two conference titles and made two NCAA tournament appearances. He coached four first-team All-Americas and 12 All-Americas total, as well as 15 all-league selections. The team set school records for goals, assists and points.

March began his coaching career at Roanoke, his alma mater, in the 2011 season, when the Maroons reached the NCAA semifinals.

A two-time All-America attackman before graduating in 2010 with a degree in criminal justice, March ranks fourth all-time in Roanoke history in goals with 152, as well as fifth in points (243) and ninth in assists (91).
