Kevin McKeown - Head Coach
The winningest coach in program history, Kevin McKeown (pronounced muh-CUE-in) enters his ninth full season at the helm of the Binghamton men’s lacrosse team in 2025.

McKeown, who was named the head coach on July 18, 2016, has been selected as the America East Coach of the Year twice during his tenure (2017, 22) after previously becoming the first Division I athlete at Binghamton to earn All-America honors in 2004.

Led by an explosive, record-setting offense, his 2023 team produced their most wins in six seasons and tied for second among eight in the America East standings. In the tournament semifinals, BU pumped in a program-record 11 goals but came up one short against eventual champion Bryant. Binghamton had the top two point producers in the conference in senior midfielder Thomas Greenblatt and sophomore attack Matthew Keegan. Greenblatt was named All-American by three different organizations after tallying a program-record 35 assists. He added 23 goals and was the America East Offensive Player of the Year and a first team all-conference selection. Greenblatt finished the season ranked eighth in the NCAA in assists per game (2.50). Keegan led the conference with 47 goals - one off the school record. He topped the America East in goals and points per game and ranked seventh in the nation in goals per game (3.37). Redshirt freshman Connor Winters joined Greenblatt and Keegan on the America East first team and ranked seventh in the nation in saves per game (13.86) and 10th in save percentage (.542). He recorded a program-record 194 saves. Senior faceoff specialist Matthew DeSouza ranked ninth in the nation with a 62% success rate. In all, BU had five all-conference selections. One of the team's most compelling wins was a 15-14 slugfest over nine-time America East champion Albany on Senior Day. Of the team's five losses, three were by two or fewer goals.

In 2022, McKeown's Bearcats earned the No. 2 seed for the America East men's lacrosse tournament after being picked fifth out of seven teams in the preseason poll. The team produced back-to-back wins over fellow tournament teams UAlbany (18-10) and UMBC (12-8), while having seven of its players receive America East all-conference honors.

McKeown's 2017 squad set a program record for wins in a season (11) and advanced to the America East championship game for just the second time in Binghamton lacrosse history. The Bearcats finished the season ranked eighth in the country in scoring defense (8.19 GAA) and fourth in man down defense (.789). In addition, McKeown was named America East Coach of the Year while two members of the 2017 team were named USILA Honorable Mention All-Americans and three were named to the America East First-Team.

Prior to his arrival at Binghamton, McKeown was the defensive coordinator at Bellarmine University for two seasons. At Bellarmine, he helped the Knights secure their first-ever postseason berth in his final season. Previously, he served as an interim head coach at Binghamton for the 2011 season, leading the Bearcats to the America East tournament. McKeown worked as the defensive coordinator and goalie coach at BU from 2008-2011. In 2013, he was the defensive coordinator at Siena and coached an All-MAC defensemen and tutored a goalkeeper who played in the 2013 USILA North-South game.

The native of Brewster, New York, is one of the most decorated athletes in Binghamton lacrosse history. He earned USILA All-America honors in 2004 as the anchor for one of the top defenses in the nation. That season, Binghamton allowed no more than eight goals in conference play and won its first America East regular season championship in program history. He went on to take all-conference awards three times in his career and picked up Scholar All-America connotation in 2006. He was inducted into the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame in 2014.

After getting a masters degree at Elmira College in 2008, McKeown returned to his alma mater to serve as an assistant coach. He eventually took over the program during the 2011 campaign, and guided a team picked to finish last in the preseason poll to a second-pace finish in the regular season.
