Matt Hudson joined the Tar Heel men’s lacrosse program staff as the director of operations in the fall of 2016.
He added the duties as the program’s volunteer assistant coach heading into the 2019 campaign. He will run the team’s substitution box during the upcoming campaign.
In addition to being the director of operations, Hudson plays a key role in Carolina’s social media efforts. In Hudson’s first year on the staff, UNC won the ACC Tournament title while advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the ninth straight year.
He begins his third year on the staff in 2019.
Hudson arrived in Chapel Hill after three successful years coaching in the NCAA Division III ranks in New England. He served on the staff at Western New England University from August 2014-August 2016 and at Springfield College from September 2013-May 2014.
In two years with the Golden Bears of WNEU, Hudson helped lead the squad to a 14-6 record in 2015 and a 15-4 mark in 2016. The 2015 team was the ECAC Division III championship squad while the 2016 unit captured the Commonwealth Coast Conference championship and advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament.
In 2014, he worked with the lacrosse program at Springfield College, a season in which The Pride went 15-4 and captured the New England Athletic Conference title. The 2014 Springfield team advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Hudson is a 2012 alumnus of Springfield College where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Movement and Sports Studies with a minor in health studies. He was a four-year member of The Pride men’s lacrosse team which captured four straight Pilgrim League championships from 2009-12 and advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament each of those seasons.
“Matt Hudson, being relatively close in age to the players, has been a tremendous asset to the program. He’s fun. He’s energetic. He really relates well to the kids. He really has a reputation as being a caring individual for the guys in the locker room,” says UNC head coach Joe Breschi.
