In 23 years as a head coach, he has compiled a 186-193 career record. He is 33-64 in eight years at Louisville.
In his first season at Louisville in 2018, the Cardinals won five of their first six games before finishing the season with a 6-11 record. He guided freshman Caroline Blalock and senior Emily Howell to All-ACC honors.
In 2019, the rebuilding Cards went 5-13 and Tessa Chad earned All-ACC honors. Louisville went 5-4 overall in a shortened 2020 season. The Cardinals recorded wins over Vanderbilt and Marquette, two teams they lost to the previous season.
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. In the postseason polls, they ranked 19th in the IWLCA and received votes in the ILWomen.Â
Senior Caroline Blalock was named All-ACC Second Team, while Bella Karstien was named to the ACC All-Freshman Team.
In 2022, Louisville finished 7-11 overall. The Cardinals lost four close games by only one goal against Colorado, Virginia, Ohio State, and Notre Dame. Coach Teeter and the Cardinals hope to capitalize this next season with wins on those close battles. They recorded wins over Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, and Cincinnati.
Graduate Caroline Blalock was named All-ACC Second Team and USA Lacrosse Magazine All-American Honorable Mention, while senior Hannah Morris and junior Nicole Perroni were named to IWLCA All-Region Second Team, and Ava Coyle was named to the ACC All-Freshman Team.

Â
On the field, standout performances included Sara Addeche’s school-record 18 saves in a single game against Notre Dame. Senior Nicole Perroni also reached the impressive milestones of 100 career points and 100 career draw controls, while Madi McKee surpassed 100 career draw controls.Â
Â
In 2024, the Louisville women’s lacrosse team finished 8-11 overall and 3-7 in ACC play, marking a program milestone with their first-ever ACC Tournament win over Virginia Tech.Â
Â
Senior attacker Kokoro Nakazawa led the team with 61 goals and 21 assists, while midfielder Nicole Perroni added 45 goals and tied the program record for career caused turnovers.
Â
Perroni earned multiple honors, including IWLCA Second Team All-American and USA Lacrosse All-America Honorable Mention, and was named to the All-ACC First Team, alongside Second Team honoree Nakazawa. Academically, the Cardinals placed nine players on the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll and 22 on the All-ACC Academic Team, underscoring their commitment to both athletic and academic excellence.
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. 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. Also in 2022, he helped Team Canada earn a silver medal at the World Cup in Towson, Maryland. Soon after that, Team Canada took down Team USA, earning a gold medal during the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama.
Before taking the head job at Canisius, Teeter served as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at Buffalo State College in 2002, where he helped guide the program to its best-ever finish. Prior to his work at Buffalo State, he served as a student-assistant coach and team manager for the Canisius women's lacrosse team for four years.
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.
