Denison University

Maiah Bartlett enters her third season as an assistant men's lacrosse coach at Denison University in 2024.

Denison finished its 2023 season with a 17-4 overall record, which was good for the fifth most wins in a single season in program history, and advanced to the NCAA Third Round (Sweet Sixteen) for the second season in a row. As a team, the Big Red set a program-best with a faceoff percentage of .708 percent. During the regular season, the Big Red went 7-1 against North Coast Athletic Conference opponents and finished in a three-team tie for first place to win their 21st NCAC regular-season championship in program history. For the third year in a row, Denison hosted Kenyon College for the NCAC Tournament Championship, and for the third year in a row, the Big Red were victorious. However, in this matchup, the second-seeded Owls took a 10-3 halftime lead and gave the top-seeded Big Red all they could handle until a game-ending 6-1 run for Denison finishing with the game-winning goal by Tournament MVP Quinn O'Donnell with just 10 seconds remaining. After winning its seventh straight NCAC Tournament title, Denison competed in the national tournament for the 27th time in program history and for the seventh season in a row, scoring six goals in the fourth quarter to pull away from Illinois Wesleyan University and earn a 15-10 victory over the Titans during the second round of the NCAA Tournament inside Deeds Field-Piper Stadium. Freshman faceoff specialist Grant Larson was both the NCAC Specialist of the Year and the Newcomer of the Year, and was named an United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Division III Honorable Mention All-Americans.

In Bartlett's first season at Denison in 2022, the Big Red earned their 20th NCAC regular-season championship in program history with a perfect 9-0 conference record, and then outscored Kenyon 8-0 in the second half to capture the NCAC Tournament Championship by a final score of 12-5. It was Denison's seventh overall and sixth straight NCAC Tournament title. Bartlett helped coach senior Davis Cronin, who was named the NCAC Men's Lacrosse Specialist of the Year and was a USILA Honorable Mention All-American. For the 26th time in program history and for the sixth time in a row, Denison men's lacrosse competed in the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament, earning a 14-13 win over Grove City in the second round thanks to the game-winning goal by sophomore Nate Kay.
