Justin Ward
Assistant Coach
Justin Ward returned to his alma mater in June 2025 to take on the role of assistant coach for the Loyola University Maryland Greyhounds men’s lacrosse team. As a standout attackman for Loyola from 2011 to 2014, Ward helped the program capture the NCAA Division I Championship in 2012 and three total NCAA Tournament appearances. He graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Business Administration (concentration in finance) and was a two-time USILA All-American, Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, and a Dean’s List honoree. Following his playing career, Ward transitioned into coaching, first serving at Georgetown University from 2015 to 2017, where he worked with the attackmen, offensive strategy and extra-man units.
In 2017 he joined the staff at Army West Point, where he played a central role in building high-powered offenses, served as offensive coordinator starting in 2020, and was named recruiting coordinator in 2021. During his tenure the Black Knights recorded a 79-32 win record and multiple Patriot League titles. With his return to Loyola, Ward brings both deep institutional familiarity and a proven track record of offensive innovation and player development, poised to help guide the Greyhounds’ next chapter of success.
