On behalf of the University of Cincinnati Men’s Club Lacrosse Team, I wanted to personally thank Kevin Bissmeyer for all of the hard work he has put in to help with the progress of this team and student organization. I am honored to have had the opportunity to work with Kevin for three-and-a-half years, watching this team grow from a group of physical and raw athletes to skilled and polished lacrosse players.
Under his tutelage the Bearcats were able to compile a formidable record and compete for the National Championship not once, but twice. As a coach, Kevin was able to help lead the Bearcats to their first Midwest Lacrosse Festival Championship, a tournament that has provided the Bearcats with as much competition as the NCLL National Championship. On the way to the MLF Championship, the Bearcats were able to defeat two in-state rivals that they had previously never beaten in the spring season, OSU and OU. His leadership and knowledge helped make these incredible feats possible.
He was not only a dedicated coach, but was insistent on seeing the program grow off the field. He was constantly involved in fundraising and recruiting efforts year-round which has helped the Bearcat Lacrosse team grow into a perennial contender in the Midwest.
For all of his dedication and commitment to this team, I’d like to again give a big thanks to Coach Kevin Bissmeyer.
