Coach Ned Kaish was named Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach at Berry College in July 2026. He previously spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Lenoir-Rhyne University, helping lead the Bears to an NCAA Division II National Championship, six NCAA Tournament appearances, two regular-season conference titles, and three conference tournament championships. During his tenure, Lenoir-Rhyne went 85-16, and Kaish helped develop three of the top scorers in program history.
Prior to Lenoir-Rhyne, Kaish served as head coach at Northview High School in Johns Creek, leading the Titans to three consecutive playoff appearances and coaching multiple All-State and All-American players. He also coached at Greater Atlanta Christian School, helping the program reach the Final Four.
A former Lenoir-Rhyne standout, Kaish earned First Team All-Conference honors in 2015 and finished his career among the program’s all-time leaders in points and goals. His extensive coaching and recruiting experience throughout Georgia and the Southeast brings valuable insight into developing and attracting top lacrosse talent.
