Kevin Dugan, head men's lacrosse coach at The University of Scranton, has announced the appointment of Tim Marshall as assistant coach. In addition, Dugan announced that Hunter Greene and Efosa Guobadia will join the staff as volunteer assistants for the upcoming 2008 season.

A native of Phoenix, Maryland, Marshall comes to the university after a four-year playing career at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. This past season, he appeared in 15 games, started 12 times, and was a key member of a Red Devil defensive unit that held 10 opponents to less than 10 goals. Dickinson College finished the 2007 season with a 9-6 record and a top-25 ranking by LaxPower.com. He played high school lacrosse in Baltimore, Maryland, at Calvert Hall, one of the top college prep programs in the country, which captured the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (M.I.A.A.) state championship in 2003. In his senior year, Marshall started all 22 games and led the defense in ground balls as Calvert Hall finished the season ranked fourth in the country in a poll conducted by STX/Inside Lacrosse.

"Tim is a real classy young man, and is very serious about wanting to become a great coach." says Dugan. "He has played for two excellent coaches, Brian Kelly at Calvert Hall and Dave Webster at Dickinson. His pedigree is exceptional. For a young coach his knowledge of the game is very impressive. Tim has a fundamentally sound vision for our defense, and his presence on our staff will also enable us to build upon our recent recruiting success in the M.I.A.A."

Greene played four seasons of Division I lacrosse on defense at Stony Brook University from 2002 through 2005, where the Seawolves posted a 34-29 overall record (.540), including an America East Conference and NCAA tournament appearance in 2002. Stony Brook also advanced to the America East Conference tournament on two other occasions, including a championship game appearance in 2005. He graduated with a degree in neuroscience with a minor in adapted aquatics.

At South Jefferson High School in his native Adams Center, New York, he was a three-year letterman who earned first-team all-league twice and honorable mention all-Central New York his senior year. He also lettered in football, wrestling and track and field.

Guobadia, like Greene, played four seasons of Division I lacrosse at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. For three seasons, he saw action as a goalkeeper before switching to defensive midfield his senior year. The Minutemen finished the 2007 season with a 7-7 overall record and received votes in the final top-20 poll conducted by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA). In his junior year, UMass capped off a school-record 13-5 season by advancing to the championship game of the 2006 NCAA tournament, losing to top-ranked and undefeated Virginia, 15-7. Along the way, the Minutemen defeated 3rd-ranked Cornell, 10-9, in the opening round, 2nd-ranked Hofstra, 11-10 in overtime, in the quarterfinals, and 4th-ranked Virginia, 8-5, in the semifinals.

In 2005, Guobadia saw action in both of the Minutemen's NCAA tournament games, starting and making nine saves in goal in a victory over Syracuse and playing the final 12:37 in a quarterfinal loss at Johns Hopkins. In his first career start earlier in the year in a victory over Rutgers University, he made 14 saves, a performance that earned him the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Defensive Player of the Week award.
