Archbishop Spalding has named Kenneth 'Bear' Davis, former head coach at Robert Morris University, as its new boys lacrosse coach, the school announced Monday.

Davis, who spent seven years at Robert Morris, takes over for former coach Ricky Schwartzberg, who stepped down earlier this summer after one season. The Cavaliers, who compete in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference, were 3-11 overall and 2-11 in league play last season.

Davis built the Robert Morris program from scratch as it gained varsity status in 2004 and enjoyed the first of three straight winning seasons in 2009. The Colonials, who went 9-6 competing in Division I this past season, have led the country in scoring the past two years.

"He certainly brings credibility coming from the collegiate ranks and at Robert Morris. He did a great job to build that program up," Spalding athletic director Lee Dove said. "Playing in the A Conference, we have found somebody who we feel has a track record that people will buy into."
