Salisbury University men's lacrosse assistant coach Dave Dobbins was recently named the Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMLCA) Division III Outstanding Assistant Coach of the Year.

Dobbins has been on Coach Jim Berkman's staff the past four seasons where the Sea Gulls have won three national championships and compiled an 83-1 record. Dobbins is in charge of coaching the midfield, man-up offense and runs the box on game day.

 The Sea Gulls recorded a NCAA record 23-0 season in 2007 en route to the program's seventh national championship. One of Dobbins' midfielders, Kylor Berkman, was selected as the 2007 NCAA Division III Midfielder of the Year.

Dobbins is currently an upper school math teacher at The Salisbury School. The Rochester, N.Y., native is a Colgate University graduate (Class of 2001). He was a four-year men's lacrosse letterwinner for the Red Raiders.

Before coming to Salisbury he was an assistant coach at Webster Schroeder High School where the varsity team won the New York Section V Class A title and the state regional title in 2002.

The IMLCA selected one assistant coach from each division to earn this honor. The two other recipients are Cornell's Ben DeLuca (Division I) and New York Institute of Technology's Billy Dunn (Division II).
