Two days after losing offensive coordinator J.L. Reppert to Holy Cross, the Maryland men’s lacrosse team moved quickly to fill the void, hiring former Johns Hopkins offensive coordinator Bobby Benson.
Although Benson and Terps officials declined to comment, a source with knowledge of the hiring confirmed the development Sunday. The move was first reported by Inside Lacrosse.
Benson had been the Blue Jays offensive coordinator for 14 years until April 14 when the university decided not to renew a contract with then-head coach Dave Pietramala. Peter Milliman was hired away from Cornell to succeed Pietramala, and he brought a new staff with him.
