BALTIMORE, MD – Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse coach Peter Milliman recently announced the addition of Braden Wallace as the program's Director of Operations.  Wallace fills the role previously held by Chayse Ierlan, who was promoted to assistant coach in August.
 
As the Director of Operations, Wallace will coordinate all team travel, manage the team's video operation, arrange all recruiting visits and serve as a liaison between the program and all internal and external constituents.  He will also work closely with the Department of Athletics administration on budget operations and other day-to-day activities associated with the program. On-field, Wallace will work closely with the goalie unit, assist Milliman and assistant coach Chayse Ierlan with the offense and run the substitution box on gameday for the Blue Jays.
 
Wallace brings an extensive lacrosse background to Homewood and most recently served as the Club Director for Klutch Lacrosse since 2024 while also serving as the offensive coordinator at the John Carroll School, which competes in the prestigious MIAA.  Arriving at John Carroll in the fall of 2022, he had an immediate impact on the Patriot offense as the team saw a nearly 100 percent increase in offensive production from his first season in 2023 to his second in 2024.
 
Prior to his time at John Carroll and with Klutch, he spent four years at the Director of Boy's Lacrosse with the Edge Lacrosse Club (2018-2022) and was later the head coach of the 2023s and 2024s.  From his 2023-24 roster with Edge, more than 30 players went on to play college lacrosse, including 15 at the Division I level, including two current Blue Jays (Matt Collison, Chuck Rawson).  Wallace got his start in lacrosse Webster Thomas High School, where he spent the 2018 season as the offensive coordinator.
 
Wallace graduated from RIT with a degree in marketing and was a four-year standout on the men's lacrosse team.  He was a First Team USILA All-American as a senior and a third team selection as a junior.  A two-time First Team All-Liberty League selection and a two-time team captain, he played in 91 career games and rang up 94 goals and 47 assists for 141 points while helping the Tigers to four consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament and a run to the national championship game as a senior.
 
The Buffalo Bandits selected Wallace in the 2017 National Lacrosse League Draft and he enjoyed a standout career with Burlington in the Ontario Junior A League as he played in 68 games and totaled 70 points with the Chiefs.
