The Keiser University men's lacrosse program announced its 2026 schedule as the Seahawks prepare to defend their position atop the NAIA following a historic championship season. The 2026 slate features a competitive mix of conference and non-conference matchups, including multiple contests at the Keiser Multi-Purpose Field in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Keiser enters the 2026 season following a historic 2025 campaign that culminated in the program's third consecutive national championship and the first title of the NAIA Men's Lacrosse Championship era. Head Coach Jeff Desko was named the 2025 NAIA Men's Lacrosse Coach of the Year, marking the first such honor of his Keiser career and making him the second coach in program history to earn the nation's top distinction.
In his first season at the helm, Desko guided the Seahawks to a 15-1 overall record and the No. 1 seed in the NAIA National Championship Tournament. Keiser spent much of the season ranked No. 1 nationally and closed the year with the longest winning streak in the NAIA at eight games. The Seahawks were the only team in the nation to finish the season with fewer than two losses and posted a 7-1 record against ranked opponents.
Individual accolades reinforced the Seahawks' championship success, as four Keiser student-athletes earned NAIA All-America recognition in 2025. AJ Badik highlighted the group with First-Team All-America honors, while Ryan Rundle and Shane Cassidy earned Second-Team selections.
