Utica University Athletics

Erickson continued to guide the Utica men’s lacrosse program following his playing career, joining head coach Sean Behan on the Pioneers’ coaching staff heading into 2026-27. Erickson was the pillar of a strong veteran core that drove the Pioneers to their first Empire 8 Tournament victory during the 2025 season, as the team reached the Empire 8 Tournament for just the second time (first since 2013), where they took down Hartwick by a 13-12 final in first-round action. Erickson’s leadership was a strong force behind the Pioneers’ resurgence, as covered in Sarah Bochan’s feature article about the Auburn native titled "Nothing to Lose: The Brotherhood Driving Noah Erickson and Utica Men’s Lacrosse". Erickson enjoyed a solid career, scoring 34 goals and grabbing 27 assists in his four years with the team. Now equipped with a degree in Cybersecurity, Erickson joined Coach Behan’s staff with his sights set on helping the team continue its upward trajectory.
