Matt Wagner joined the Aquinas Athletic Department in the summer of 2024 and serves as the assistant coach and defensive coordinator for the men's lacrosse team. Wagner moved into Peter Treppa's vacated position after Treppa was named the head coach for the men's lacrosse program a couple months prior to Wagner's hiring.
Wagner returns to his Alma mater after a historic run as one of the best defenders in the history of the Aquinas program. Wagner was a four-time First Team All-Conference Selection, a three-time NAIA All-American, and was named to the 2019 NAIA National Tournament Team.
Since graduating, Wagner has been coaching at Forest Hills Eastern for the past two seasons. He worked as an assistant varsity coach in 2023 and was quickly promoted to the JV head coach in 2024.
The Grand Rapids native graduated from Aquinas College in 2022 with a major in business administration and sports management.
