Nick Pietras has been coaching lacrosse in the city of Detroit since 2019. He currently serves as the assistant creative director creating content and helping manage the image of Detroit United. He is currently attending Lourdes University pursuing a double major in marketing and business administration. Over the course of his senior year, Nick would tear both of his ACL’s leaving him to miss his senior season. He would play for the Lourdes University Gray Wolves for one year before his lingering knee injuries would abruptly end his college career.

He would be one of the main influencers in the creation of Warren Consolidated Schools joint high school program and would oversee fundraising, marketing, and design endeavors. Six months later, Nick would be brought to Detroit to join the Cass Tech High School men’s lacrosse coaching staff as the defensive coordinator.

The PLL Needs a Dynasty to Thrive

I would consider myself a fairly active sports fan. I have played just about every sport at some point in my life, and I actively follow multiple professional leagues.

What Is Going on With the California Redwoods?

The Denver Outlaws currently have a 1-1 record following the bye week. They kicked off their season with a rough 16-11 loss to the Carolina Chaos.

Can the Waterdogs Bounce Back?

The Waterdogs are coming off a season that saw them make it all the way to the championship game before inevitably coming up short against a highly touted Archers team.

Does the PLL Need a Bye Week?

The PLL has a scheduling issue that has not been resolved since the league officially began.
