Santa Monica Vikings Lacrosse secures renown Hopkins player as the program's Head Coach

We are pleased to announce the addition of a new Head Coach for the Santa Monica High School boys varsity and junior varsity teams. His name is Mike Gvozden, one of the nation's top rated goalies. Mike recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University where he was the lacrosse team’s starting goalie for three years.

"His experience, enthusiasm and drive matches the level of intensity that we have created and will be a tremendous asset to our program."

There is no doubt that under his guidance our lacrosse program will soon become a force to be reckoned with!

Go Vikings!!
