Head Coach Glenn Thiel

Glenn Thiel enters his 33rd season as head coach of the Nittany Lions Heis the owner of over 200 wins at Penn State and over 300 wins for his career.After coaching the team to an NCAA tournament appearance in 2005, plusa share of the ECAC regular season crown, Thiel guided Penn State back tothe ECAC title-deciding game in 2006 and just missed out on the NCAAtournament. Last year, the Nittany Lions went 9-5, just missed an NCAAbid, and ended the season ranked No. 16 in the final national coaches poll.

In 1977, after eight highly successful years at Virginia, Thiel returned to hisalma mater as the Nittany Lions’ head coach, following in the footsteps ofhis late father, Glenn “Nick” Thiel, who guided Penn State’s lacrosse teamsfrom 1935 until 1956.

“He got out of coaching before I was aware of what he was doing,” saidThiel. “I was too young. But knowing his personality and mine, I’m sure weare probably pretty similar. We both tend to be yellers.”

“I talked to the Tailback Club once and to a couple of guys who had playedfor Dad for one or two days. They said, ‘Too tough a game to start, toomuch running and Nick Thiel yelling all the time.’ I’m kind of the sameway.”

Nick Thiel was USILA Man of the Year twice and was inducted into theUSILA Hall of Fame in 1966, the same year that Glenn graduated fromPenn State.

Glenn Thiel has a 311-211 overall record over 42 seasons, and a 234-175record in 32 years at Penn State. He is currently in third place on the nationalall-time coaches career wins list.

A 1966 Penn State graduate, Thiel played two seasons with his brother,Dave, under Dick Pencek, whom Thiel succeeded as coach. He was a mid-fielder on the 1964-66 Nittany Lion teams, serving as co-captain his seniorcampaign. He received the Pittenger Award as the squad’s most valuablesenior and was selected to play in the North/South All-Star Classic afterscoring 27 goals with six assists in 1966.

Thiel logged a record of 63-30 in eight seasons as head coach at Virginiafrom 1970-77. His 1972 squad won the NCAA Championship title with a13-12 victory over Johns Hopkins. In 1970, the Cavaliers tied for the USILAnational title.

“Winning the National Championship at Virginia was a great feeling andthat’s what we’re shooting for here at Penn State. That’s all we talk about andnow we have a good opportunity to achieve our goal this year.”

In guiding Virginia to three Atlantic Coast Conference Championships,Thiel coached 12 first team All-Americans. He twice coached the South to

victory in the North/South All-Star Classic (1973, ‘94). His father was 1-1-1 coaching in the All-Star classic. His brother played in the 1965 game.

In the fall of 1996, Thiel was among the second class of inductees into theVirginia Lacrosse Hall of Fame. The Hall was established to honor the menand women who have made great contributions to the game of lacrosse.Four of Thiel’s former players, Pete Eldridge, Jay Connor, Tom Duquetteand John Driscoll are in the National Lacrosse Foundation Hall of Fame.

Thiel is very active in developing and promoting lacrosse. A former mem-ber of the executive board of the USILA, Thiel serves on the organization’sAll-American and National Rankings Committees.

Thiel is a past member of the United States Lacrosse Coaches Associationexecutive board. He was involved in the selection of the 1982, 1986 and1990 U.S. World teams. He is also active as a clinician and summer campinstructor.

Thiel received a master’s degree in physical education from Massachusetts in1970. Thiel and his wife, Sally, reside in State College, Pa.

Nittany Lion History


Penn State lacrosse has come a long way since its firsttwo-game season in 1913. The Nittany Lions have notalways had winning records, but Penn State is always rec-ognized for its long tradition of lacrosse.

The first team was organized by a Swarthmore transferstudent Walter S. Farley. Through his efforts, the firstgame was played against Pennsylvania on May 24, 1913.The debut was successful as the Lions won, 4-3. Theyfinished the season with a 3-3 tie against the BronxLacrosse Club.

With its start in 1913, lacrosse is one of the oldest contin-uous sports at Penn State. Twelve coaches have guidedthe lacrosse program. The only season that Penn Statefailed to field a team was in 1918, when an influenza epi-demic swept the nation. In those 84 seasons, Penn Statehas compiled a 366-396-8 record.

While Penn State initially played as an independent, theybecame active members of the United States Intercolle-giate Lacrosse League in 1922. In 1926, Penn Statebecame a charter member of the United States Intercol-legiate Lacrosse Association, the current organizationgoverning collegiate lacrosse.

Many of the players during the early years had neverplayed or seen the game before their arrival on campus.Most were athletes from other sports, students from inter-class lacrosse competition or just students who were goodathletes who wanted to participate in intercollegiate ath-letics.

Eighty one of these players have won All-America honors106 times and 52 have played in the North-South All-Stargame. Three Penn Staters, Tom Hayes and the late NickThiel and Harry Wilson, are enshrined in the LacrosseHall of Fame.

Although six coaches preceded him, the coach who prob-ably did the most for Penn State lacrosse and the gameitself was Nick Thiel, Penn State's coach from 1935-56.Despite a 22-year record of 87-110, Thiel was regarded asa great teacher and coach.

Thiel continued active leadership in the game of lacrosseas long-time secretary-treasurer of the USILA. Thielcoached such Penn State standouts as George Ritter (theLions' only first team All-American), and Bart Buser in theearly years. During the late 40s, a heyday in Penn Stateathletics because of the influx of veterans following WorldWar II, John Nolan hit the field for the Nittany Lions. AlFulton and 1957 national scoring leader Bill Hess wereboth on Thiel's squads in the early 50s.

As was the case with most Lion lacrosse coaches, everyyear was a rebuilding year because of the novices whoplayed on Penn State's teams. Thiel received the UnitedStates Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association "Man-of-the-Year" award in 1945 and 1947 and was inducted into theHall of Fame in 1966.

When appointed in 1962, Dick Pencek was the youngesthead coach in the nation. He guided the Lions in 1962,departed for the military, and returned to coach from 1965-77, compiling a record of 70-68-2. Along with his winningrecord, he built the program into a contender on thenational scene, challenging for the NCAA Tournament in1975 and 1976.

Pencek began the recruiting of talented high school play-ers, a practice continued under his successor, Glenn F.Thiel, son of Nick Thiel, former coach. Glenn Thiel led Vir-ginia to the 1972 NCAA title and a share of the 1970USILA national championship, before returning to his almamater in 1978.

With increased administrative support, Penn Statelacrosse is now on the national scene as is reflected inthe increase in recruiting grant in aids, and scheduling toinclude Massachusetts, Georgetown, Rutgers, NotreDame and Ohio State.

In the spring of 2000, Penn State began play in the East-ern Collegiate Athletic Conference Lacrosse League.Charter members of the ECAC Lacrosse League includeGeorgetown, Massachusetts, Rutgers, Navy, UMBC,Stony Brook and Penn State.

Each year, the league champion, determined by regularseason head-to-head competition, receives an auto-matic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

In 2005, the ECAC Lacrosse League added new mem-bers Hobart College, Loyola College (Md.) and St. JohnsUniversity to the league. The Fairfield Stags joined theconference’s ranks last year.

In 2006, four Nittany Lions earned first team All-Leaguelaurels. Nate Whitaker, Pat Heim, Dan Saltsman andfreshman goalie Drew Adams were all honored on thesquad. Adams became Penn State’s second lacrosserookie of the year when he garnered both ECAC LacrosseLeague Rookie of the Year and ECAC Goalkeeper of theYear honors as well as first team league laurels. Adamsand Pat Heim were also Honorable Mention All-Americansas recognized by the United States IntercollegiateLacrosse Association.

In 2007, Adams repeated his Goalie of the Year honors inthe ECAC Lacrosse League while Heim and Saltsmanwere first team picks. Last year, Adams won his thirdstraight ECAC Goalie of the Year honor and was onceagain a first team All-ECAC selection.

Penn State won its final five games of the 2009 season,wrapping up its time in the ECAC Lacrosse League with a4-3 conference mark and a No. 16 ranking in the finalUSILA Coaches Poll.

In 2010, Penn State will join the Colonial Athletic Associ-ation and compete with Towson, Hofstra, Drexel, UMassand Delaware for the CAA’s automatic bid to the NCAAtournament. The regular season results will determine thefour CAA teams that will compete in the CAA tournamenton May 5 and 8 for the automatic bid to the NCAA tour-nament.
