Jack Deragon begins his second season as assistant coach in 2021 after coming to Lehigh in August of 2019. The former Ithaca All-American goalkeeper came to Lehigh following two seasons at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y.  Deragon serves as the Mountain Hawks' goalie coordinator and assistant defensive coordinator.
Â
Lehigh was off to a 5-1 start in 2020 (2-0 in Patriot League play) when the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mountain Hawks’ defense was allowing just 9.67 per contest (14th). Lehigh was second in groundballs per game (42.33) and eighth in faceoff win percentage (63.8). In goal, James Spence tallied a 9.20 goals against average (11th in the nation) and 52.6 save percentage (27th). The Mountain Hawks were ranked 19th in the final Maverick Media Poll.
Â
Individually, defenseman Anthony Tangredi was named an honorable mention Media All-American after finishing the shortened season second nationally in caused turnovers per contest (2.67).
At Mount Saint Mary, Deragon served as defensive coordinator and goalie coach, directing the defense, man-down defense, riding/clearing game and more. He also worked with goaltender development while creating and developing a leadership development program for current and rising leaders on the team. Under his tutelage, a pair of defenders received All-Skyline Conference recognition in both 2018 and 2019. During Deragon's first season of 2018, the Knights' defense decreased its goals against average by nearly three goals from the previous season while turning a 6-10 record in 2017 into a 12-7 mark and trip to the program's first-ever Skyline Conference Championship Game.
Â
As a player, Deragon was a four-year member of the Ithaca men's lacrosse program, leading the Bombers to a stellar 61-16 record. As a senior, he posted conference bests in goals against average (7.62) and save percentage (58.3), amongst the national leaders in both categories. Deragon was rewarded with USILA third team All-America recognition, along with Empire 8 Goalie of the Year and ECAC Division III North Defensive Player of the Year honors. Deragon was also named All-Conference and All-Region.
Â
Deragon served as team representative then later assistant director of Ithaca's Student-Athlete Advisory Boards (SAAC). He served as senior captain and took part in the department's Leadership Academy, which instructs rising leaders in the athletics department.
