Joe Conner Jr. is in his third season on the Bucknell men's lacrosse staff, and in 2011-12 he will be moving up to the No. 1 assistant position and offensive coordinator. Connor was the assistant lacrosse coach at Mount St. Mary's for two years before coming to Bucknell.

At Mount St. Mary's, Conner helped coach the Mount to a 5-3 conference record and a No. 2 seed in the MAAC playoffs, the Mount's first conference playoff appearance in two years. He served as recruiting coordinator, and in his final season with The Mount he coached the defense, helping them to a No. 9 national ranking in goals allowed.

Conner is a 2007 graduate of Mount St. Mary's and received his M.B.A. from The Mount as well in May of 2009. As a student-athlete, he played at Binghamton University for three years before transferring to Mount St. Mary's to finish his playing career and pursue his coaching career. He was a midfielder at Binghamton and then was moved to attack when he transferred to Mount St. Mary's.

A native of Ijamsville, Md., he played both lacrosse and football at Urbana High School. He was a high school All-American in lacrosse and started at quarterback on a record-setting football team that won four straight state championships and carried a 50-game winning streak. His father, Joe Conner Sr., is currently the head coach for both football and lacrosse at Urbana.
