Bowdoin College

The winningest coach in Bowdoin men’s lacrosse history, Tom McCabe led the Polar Bears for 22 seasons, guiding the program to unprecedented success and shaping generations of student-athletes through his leadership and care. His 229 career victories stand as the most in program history and rank among the top dozen all-time in Division III. Under his direction, Bowdoin captured ECAC championships in 1992 and 2001, earned its first NCAA Tournament bid and victory in 2008, and saw consistent national prominence. In his final season, McCabe was honored as both NESCAC and New England Division III Coach of the Year. After retiring from Bowdoin, McCabe and his wife, Pat, served with the Peace Corps in Tanzania before he returned to the sport as a World Lacrosse ambassador in Africa and coach for the Wales and Slovakian national teams. Now back in Maine, he continues to support Bowdoin as a volunteer assistant coach.
