Simon Fraser University men's field lacrosse cohead coach Jeff Cathrea announced his resignation on Sunday.
After seven seasons at SFU and with the Burnaby Mountain Selects program, Cathrea made the decision in order to pursue a Master's degree in physical therapy.
Together with fellow cohead coach Brent Hoskins, Cathrea holds the single season school records with 16 wins and 76 career victories. The two were also honoured as Pacific Northwest Collegiate Lacrosse League Division I coaches of the year on three occasions from 2008 to 2010.
Cathrea helped SFU garner a 76-32 won/losss record since being named co-head coach back in 2005.
Over that period, Cathrea led the Clan to back-to-back conference championships in 2008 and 2009, and appearances in three Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association national championships, including a trip to the semifinals in 2010.
Cathrea began as a player at SFU in 1997, where he became a four-year starting captain at attack.
Hoskins will assume the head coaching duties at SFU.
