Siena lacrosse coach suffers head injury after fall at home

Siena men's lacrosse coach Liam Gleason was hospitalized Sunday, Nov. 30, after what school officials have called a "serious accident" at his home.

The school declined to release additional information out of respect for Gleason and his family. "We ask that you keep Coach Gleason and his family in your thoughts and prayers," Siena said in a prepared statement.

The Albany Times Union reports that Gleason was injured in a fall and suffered serious head trauma.

Gleason, who turned 41 on Friday, Nov. 28, has been the head lacrosse coach at Siena for the past seven seasons. He led the Saints to a MAAC championship and an NCAA Tournament berth last season.

A GoFundMe page established to help Gleason's family had raised over $250,000 as of 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
