ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y.  – Randy Mearns will not return as St. Bonaventure's men's lacrosse head coach, Vice President & Director of Athletics Bob Beretta announced on Monday.
 
"Today I informed Randy Mearns, our student-athletes and coaches within the men's lacrosse program of my decision to make a leadership change," said Beretta. "After careful assessment of the program, I am confident we can achieve our goal of competing for an Atlantic 10 Conference championship under new leadership. We will work tirelessly to identify the best candidate to accomplish that mission."
