Bill Duerr joined the Stevens Institute of Technology men’s lacrosse staff as an assistant coach in August of 2007. Duerr, who will work primarily with the Ducks’ offense, spent the 2007 campaign as an assistant coach at Division I Marist College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
Prior to joining the staff at Marist, Duerr had a stellar four-year career as an attackman with the Red Foxes. From 2003-06, he amassed 138 points from 86 goals and 52 assists. He ended his career ranked eighth on the Marist all-time scoring list. Duerr was fifth overall in goals and seventh in assists as part of the Red Foxes’ program.
In his freshman year at Marist, Duerr finished second on the team in scoring. He also had a streak of 10 consecutive games with at least one goal. In 2004, Duerr led the Red Foxes in assists and was second in both points and goals. Along the way, he was named to the All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference first-team.
As a junior, Duerr played an integral role as Marist earned the program’s first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament, where it lost in the first round to eventual national champion Johns Hopkins University. During that 2005 campaign, Duerr once again led the team in assists and finished second in both goals and points. In the process, he was named to the All-MAAC first-team and earned MAAC all-tournament honors for the first time.
Duerr closed out his career with an impressive senior campaign in 2006 as he led the Red Foxes with 31 points en route to being named to the All-MAAC second-team. He also garnered all-tournament honors for a second straight season.
Duerr, who was captain of the team as a junior and senior, graduated from Marist in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Digital Media. A native of Manasquan, N.J., he currently resides in Hoboken, N.J. Duerr’s brother, Tom, plays for Johns Hopkins and helped lead his team to the Division I national championship as a sophomore in 2007.
