One of the all-time great collegiate lacrosse players, Doug Knight is a volunteer assistant coach with the University of Pennsylvania men’s lacrosse team.
A National Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee in 2017, Knight played at the University of Virginia from 1994-97 and—among many records he set—graduated as the program’s career scoring leader with 165 goals and 84 assists for 249 points across 60 games. That mark stood for 15 years. Knight led the nation with 56 goals and 86 points as a junior in 1996 and was named the Lt. Raymond Enners Award recipient as the USILA’s most outstanding player in men’s college lacrosse.
Knight earned USILA All-America honors three times at UVA, gaining first-team honors his junior and senior years and second-team recognition as a sophomore. Twice he helped Virginia advance to the NCAA Championship final. Knight is a member of the University of Virginia Athletics Hall of Fame.
Following his graduation from UVA, Knight played professionally for the Boston Cannons and Philadelphia Barrage in Major League Lacrosse as well as indoors with Rochester and Baltimore in the National Lacrosse League.
In addition to working with the Penn men’s lacrosse team, Knight serve as the Camp Director for Camp Tecumseh in Moultonborough, N.H.
Doug and his wife, Jill, are the proud parents of three sons.
