1988 SUNY-Cortland graduate Brian Jenkins has just completed his ninth season as the Head Coach of the Men's Lacrosse program. Jenkins, 41, was hired on August 15, 1997 to become only the second men's lacrosse coach in Shenandoah history. He is now the most successful coach in the history of the program. This past season, Jenkins guided his Hornets to a 5-9 record and an appearance in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Tournament. The five wins ties a school record for most victories in a season and the PAC Tournament appearance in the first in school history.

Jenkins came to Shenandoah from Lehigh University, where he was the Mountain Hawks defensive coordinator for four seasons. During his final season at Lehigh, Jenkins presided over a defense that spurred the Hawks to a top 25 ranking and an upset victory over #7 in the nation Georgetown University. Prior to his experience at Lehigh, the Great Neck, N.Y, native was the offensive coordinator at Lafayette for four years.

In the summer of 2001, Jenkins played for Team USA at the World Championships (Master's Division) in Perth, Australia. Team USA finished second as Jenkins had five goals, including two in the semi-finals. 

His first international experience capped an outstanding playing career that saw Jenkins earn Junior College All-American honors at SUNY-Cobleskill and two All-SUNYAC selections at SUNY-Cortland. 

Jenkins and his wife of 13 years, Kathryn, have a 11-year-old daughter, Kayla, and a eight-year-old son, Hunter. They live in Frederick County.
