His teams earned NCAA regional berths in 2021 and 2022, then won the EAGL championship for the first time in program history in 2023 while making a third straight NCAA appearance. In 2024, Towson claimed both the EAGL championship and its first EAGL regular-season title, finished 23-15, and advanced to its fourth consecutive NCAA regional. The 2025 team repeated as regular-season conference champion, went 4-0 in EAGL meets, posted 28 regular-season victories, and finished 33rd in the Road to Nationals rankings.
