January 20, 2022 | Women's Lacrosse
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It was announced today that University of Louisville women's lacrosse head coach Scott Teeter and Interim Director of Athletics Josh Heird have agreed to a revised contract which includes an extension through 2025.
"I am grateful to Josh Heird, Amy Calabrese, Matt Banker and the UofL Athletic Board for extending my contract through 2025," said head coach Scott Teeter. "We are fortunate to have a great staff and an amazing group of young women that proudly represent our program and I'm very excited about the future. My wife, children and I have come to love this University and this city and we are thankful for the opportunity to remain here for a long time."

Teeter is entering his fifth season as the head coach at Louisville and his 20th overall after spending the first 15 years at Canisius. In 19 years as a head coach, he has compiled a 166-159 career record.
In 2021, Louisville finished 5-11 overall against one of the most challenging schedules in history. The Cardinals played seven games against Top 5 teams and 11 against Top 10 teams. They moved into the IWLCA Top 25 following a 12-9 win over No. 24 Colorado on Feb. 18 and remained in both the IWLCA and ILWomen polls the remainder of the season.
Prior to coming to Louisville, he served as head coach at Canisius for 15 years (2003-2017). Upon his arrival in Buffalo, he took the reins of a team that had won just 11 games in the program's first seven seasons. Under his guidance, he changed the culture of the program and was named MAAC Coach of the Year in just his third season after leading the Griffs to an eight-win improvement in 2005.
In 2011, Canisius won a school-record 14 games and capped the successful campaign with the program's first MAAC Tournament title. The Griffs added postseason championships in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017. In the run from 2011-14, the team became the first school in MAAC history to win four straight conference titles. Canisius also claimed regular-season crowns in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 after sweeping through conference foes without a loss.
He was named the league's coach of the year again in 2015, 2016 and 2017, after becoming the first three teams in MAAC history to post a perfect 8-0 regular-season record.
He left Canisius as the winningest coach in MAAC history.
In addition, Teeter has also served as head coach of the Canadian Under-19 National Team since 2009. He guided the team to a bronze-medal showing during the 2011 championship in Hannover, Germany, before earning the country's first women's field lacrosse title at the 2015 FIL World Championship in Edinburgh, Scotland. Also in 2017, Teeter led the Canadian National team to a pair of silver medals, both at the FILÂ World Cup held in England and the World Games in Poland.
Teeter was a four-year letter-winner for the Canisius College ice hockey team and graduated with a degree in physical education in 2002. He earned his master's degree in physical education with a concentration in sport psychology and coaching from Canisius in 2004.
Teeter and his wife, Jennifer, have one daughter, Olivia, and one son, Lucas.
