Former Duke Men’s lacrosse coach Mike Pressler was the only person to lose his job over what became known as the “Duke Rape Case” – a scandal based on a lie that nearly ruined Pressler’s career and life.

Today he’s living a new life in a different place – Bryant University. But what makes him a rare coach – call it the “Pressler Effect” – remains the same. It’s at the heart of how he’s been able to transform a struggling Division II lacrosse program into a Division I conference champion which just earned a spot in the NCAA post-season tournament for the third straight year.
