Biography

Curtis Jaques begins his third year as the head coach of the Wilkes University men's lacrosse team in 2017.  

Jaques took hold of a rebirth of a program in 2016 that competed at the varsity level throughout the 1970's, capturing a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship in 1975. The 1975 squad was also inducted into the Wilkes Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007-2008.

Jaques comes to Wilkes after five seasons on the sidelines as an assistant coach for the VMI men’s lacrosse team, a program near and dear to the 2007 alumnus. While at VMI, he worked primarily with the team’s offense as well as serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator.

Jaques returned to VMI after a two-year stint at SUNY Geneseo, where he worked with the defense and served as top assistant to head coach Jim Lyons. At Geneseo, Jaques helped guide the squad to a No. 13 ranking in the final 2009 USILA Division III poll. The team also went undefeated in regular season conference (SUNYAC) play, before falling to No. 7 Cortland in the title game, 14-13.

Jaques graduated from the Institute in 2007 with a double major in International Studies and Modern Languages and Culture (German). He was a team captain in 2007, and was the Keydets’ No. 1 defenseman during then-coach Jeff Shirk’s first campaign in Lexington, when Jaques was named preseason All-MAAC selection as well.

A native of Rosemont, N.J., Jaques is married to his wife, Alecia. The couple has two children, Ava (4) and Leona Claire (2).
