Peter Milliman has completed his first year on the Princeton coaching staff. He came to New Jersey after serving as the head coach at Division II Pfeiffer.
After spending his first year as the volunteer assistant, Milliman takes over the spot on the staff formerly held by Michael Podgajny, who left after the 2013 season.
Milliman led Pfeiffer to a program-record 12 wins in the 2012 season, giving him a four-year record of 37-26 as his teams improved their win total each year. He was twice named the Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year.
In Milliman's final season, Pfeiffer reached the Conference Carolinas championship game for the second consecutive year, losing to national runner up Limestone 9-5 after falling 8-7 in OT to Limestone during the regular season. Pfeiffer reached as high as 10th in the USILA national Division II rankings in 2012.
Under Milliman the Falcons finished in the top five in DII in goals-against average, man-down defense and scoring margin in each of the past two seasons and led the nation in save percentage in 2011 (.657). He also coached 13 players who combined to earn 21 all-conference selections, including a program record nine in 2012, as well as the last two conference Freshman of the Year honorees.
Before taking over at Pfeiffer, Milliman spent two years as an assistant coach at Rochester Institute of Technology, a highly successful Division III program, sandwiched around one year as an assistant at Division I Siena.
He was a three-time Division III All-America at Gettysburg, and he helped his team to two NCAA Division III championship games.
He also played for four years with the Rochester Rattlers and helped the team to the 2008 Major League Lacrosse championship.
