NEWPORT NEWS, VA - Kevin Pall has been named an assistant men's lacrosse coach at Christopher Newport University, Athletic Director C.J. Woollum and Head Coach Chris Swanenburg announced. The former All-American at Stony Brook University is the first assistant to join Swanenburg's staff since his hiring in November.
