Coach Steve Jewett first developed his lacrosse game in Ithaca NY,
playing at Ithaca high school under coach Frank Welch. He continued
to develop his game at the midfield while attending St. Lawrence
University. Under the direction of Coach Don Leet, the Saints
qualified in both 1984 and 1987 for the NCAA tournament losing
twice in the quarterfinals. Jewett received All League honors
at midfield in 1987 and was recognized as one of SLUs all
time top middies.
Coach Jewett then began coaching at the secondary level in Western
New England. His tenure at Hamden Hall Country Day School
(WNESSLA) lasted 18 years. During this time, he posted a record
with over 125 wins and was awarded the US Lacrosse Fairchester
League Coach of the Year twice. Many of his charges continued
playing at DI, DII, DIII ,MCLA and MLL. Jewett has had great
success instilling the love of the game in his players and owes a
winning record to his emphasis on team play. "This is a great game
that, with the right combination of players, connecting as a team,
can result in a win on any given day."
Jewett plans to bring the same philosophy to Mitchell
College. His experiences in education and business compliment
his coaching, to present his players with a fair and consistent
style of management. "Hard work and determination will be two
critical factors in meeting our goals for 2009 and beyond. Any
players looking to get involved and play a direct role in a fast,
developing program should really consider Mitchell."
