Nestor a finalist for Lacrosse Magazine's Women's Coach of the Year

SALISBURY, Md. – What did you think of the job that Salisbury University women's lacrosse Head Coach Jim Nestor did in 2010? Fans will get to voice their opinion on the matter in an online poll released by Lacrosse Magazine.

The publication is choosing the top women's lacrosse coach of the past year and Nestor is a finalist, and the only nominee from the Division III ranks. Last season Nestor collected the first national championship of his coaching career, guiding the Sea Gulls to a 21-1 record in 2010, including a come-from-behind 7-6 victory against Hamilton College in the national championship game.

Nestor was recently named the Division III National Coach of the Year by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaching Association (IWLCA) and was also named the Capital Athletic Conference Coach of the Year.

During his career at Salisbury, Nestor has compiled a 157-20 record, and has guided his teams to four national championship games.
