Scott fits that mold, he's very well known in the lacrosse community, and most importantly, he's been a winner.""The University of Louisville is an excellent opportunity for me because I believe that this is a place where our student-athletes can succeed immediately, both competitively and academically. Together, I believe that we can build something very special here," said Teeter. "Louisville is such a unique place, with a world-class university, an exciting women's lacrosse history and unbelievable support and facilities."Teeter comes to Louisville after serving as head coach at Canisius for the past 16 years. Upon his arrival in Buffalo, he took the reins of a team that had won just 11 games in the program's first seven seasons.

The Griffs added postseason championships in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017. In the run from 2011-14, the team became the first school in MAAC history to win four straight conference titles. Canisius also claimed regular-season crowns in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 after sweeping through conference foes without a loss.He was named the league's coach of the year again in 2015, 2016 and 2017, after becoming the first three teams in MAAC history to post a perfect 8-0 regular-season record.Teeter departs as the winningest coach in MAAC history."I would like to thank interim director of athleticsand assistant athletic director for student-athlete developmentfor their confidence that I am the right person to lead this program," added Teeter. "I am excited to move my family here and cannot wait to get started."In addition, Teeter has also served as head coach of the Canadian Under-19 National Team since 2009. He guided the team to a bronze-medal showing during the 2011 championship in Hannover, Germany, before earning the country's first women's field lacrosse title at the 2015 FIL World Championship in Edinburgh, Scotland. Also in 2017, Teeter led the Canadian National team to a pair of silver medals, both at the FIL World Cup held in England and the World Games in Poland."Scott is an amazing coach that gets the most out of his players," said Gary Gait, the lacrosse Hall of Famer and women's lacrosse head coach at Syracuse. "Winning the world U-19 championship for Canada solidified his ability to coach players to their maximum potential. He is destined to have a great coaching career at Louisville, competing at the highest level in the ACC."Before taking the head job at Canisius, Teeter served as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at Buffalo State College in 2002, where he helped guide the program to its best-ever finish.
