Munro has been reassigned at DU and will work with Bradley-Doppes and the senior staff on special projects until June 30. A national search for Munro’s replacement will begin immediately.

 

“I want to thank the University of Denver family for 11 great years,” Munro said. “I’ve decided to resign to pursue other opportunities. It’s been a wonderful ride at DU and it couldn’t have happened without the hard work and dedication from my assistant coaches, players and support staff.”

 

During his time with the Pioneers, Munro tallied a career record of 91-70, securing four GWLL Championship titles and two NCAA postseason tournament appearance. He was named GWLL Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2006 and placed 11 players in the last three seasons to the GWLL All-Conference team, including a Newcomer of the Year honoree in 2008.

DU finished this season with a 7-8 overall record and 1-4 mark in its final season of play in the Great Western Lacrosse League.

 

“I’m excited about the next chapter in my life, whether it’s coaching or pursuing a new career path,” Munro said. “I’m also looking forward to working on a daily basis with Peg, who is one of the most reputable athletic directors in all of collegiate athletics.”
