Harvard's Scott Anderson Named Recipient of Walter Alessi Award
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Scott Anderson, assistant director of athletics at Harvard, was named the 2008 Walter Alessi Award recipient in a halftime ceremony of the East-West All-Star Game Friday evening at Harvard Stadium.
The Walter Alessi Award, named after Walter Alessi who has served as the head coach of men's lacrosse at MIT since 1975, is presented annually to an individual for contributions to New England lacrosse.
Anderson, who served as Harvard's head coach for 20 years from 1988-2007, facilitated the game management and operation for the 2008 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships at Gillette Stadium in May as well as the first annual New England Lacrosse Classic, in which Harvard played the first-ever lacrosse game at Gillette Stadium April 5.
He ranks second in career wins (142) by a Crimson head coach, trailing only the legendary Bruce Munro, who won 171 games in 25 years. Anderson led the Crimson to four NCAA tournament appearances (1996, 1998, 1990, 2006) and the 1990 Ivy League championship. He was an assistant coach on the 1980 Crimson squad that won the Ivy League title and earned an NCAA tournament bid, and was a member of two NCAA championship teams as an assistant at Cornell.
Anderson is a 1973 graduate of Dartmouth, where he was an All-Ivy League player for the Big Green. He has served as a member of the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-America committee and the Tewaaraton Award selection committee.
