The High Point University Men's Lacrosse program added Matthew Lintner to the 2025 coaching staff as announced by Head Coach John Crawley in July of 2024.
During the 2025 season, High Point went 7-9 overall and 3-2 in the league finishing as the A10 regular season runner-ups for the first time since joining the A10 in 2023. Lintner was apart of the staff that guided the No. 2 seeded Panthers to the A10 Championship game for the second time after knocking off No. 3 seed Saint Joseph’s in the semifinals. Twelve Panthers earned post season honors as eight players made the A10 All-Conference selections and four players were named to the A10 All-Championship team. During the regular season, HPU defeated two ranked opponents, first on the road against No. 16 University of Massachusetts (14-9) and then at home against No. 16 Saint Joseph’s (11-9).
Prior to HPU, Lintner spent four seasons at Roanoke College under head coach Bill Pilat's men's lacrosse staff where he previously played four years of lacrosse before graduating in 2019. After joining the Maroons in the fall of 2020 as the second assistant coach, he was elevated to the lead assistant coach and recruiting coordinator during the 2024 season. Over his four years, he ran the offensive side of the ball, being named the team's offensive coordinator in the summer of 2021. He also ran the team's extra man unit all four years, coached the faceoff unit in the 2021 season, worked with the goalies all four years, and served as the team's strength and conditioning coordinator from summer of 2021-November of 2023.
During his time in Maroon, the team earned many individual and team accolades. Over this time frame, Roanoke earned spots in the USILA Top 20 rankings numerous times. He also coached 29 All-ODAC selections, including seven first team and ten second team selections, the 2023 Conference Player of the Year, and the 2023 leading goal scorer in the conference. Lintner also coached 14 USILA All-Americans, ten of them being offensive players, including a 2023 1st Team All-American attackman. In two of his four years, the Maroons were awarded the ODAC Rookie of the Year. Additionally, two freshmen were named USILA All-Americans, an accomplishment that only two other Roanoke players had ever achieved before.
The offense experienced more record breaking moments over the past four years. For the first time in program history, three current players hit 200 career points. All three players exceeded 80 points on the year and are currently ranked 1st (335), 6th (247), and 13th (218), on the program's All-Time career points record. One of these players, Luke Kammerman, also set records in the conference for career assists (177), and the program in single season points (111), assists (51), and career points (335) – records that had stood for decades. Another, Wyatt Whitlow, currently sits second in career goals (198). In three out of four years, the Maroons also reset the top three best scoring duos in program history, which had stood for 20 years.
In 2024, the Maroons offense finished fourth in the country with 17.85 goals/game, which also stands fourth all time in program history. After scoring 357 goals on the year, they tied the 2009 team for most goals in a season; their 195 assists and 552 total points also sit fourth all time.
Lintner helped guide the Maroons to two NCAA Tournament appearances in the last three seasons, earning an automatic bid in 2024 and 2022. During his time on staff, Roanoke compiled an overall record of 45-25 with a 26-9 record in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference.
Lintner returned to his Alma Mater after serving as the Director of Operations and Volunteer Assistant at Colgate University for the Covid-19, 2020 season. As a part of the Raider's coaching staff, Lintner worked with the faceoff specialist and goalies. While helping Colgate navigate the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Lintner would help guide a program that would play the #1, 2, and 5 teams in the country as well as a pair of Patriot League opponents.
During his time as a student-athlete at Roanoke, Lintner played in 66 games for head coach Bill Pilat. For his career, he tallied 85 career points on 55 goals and 30 assists. During his senior season, Lintner scored 28 goals to go with 15 helpers on his way to being named Third Team All-ODAC as an attackman.
Upon his graduation in 2019, Lintner earned his Bachelor's degree in Sports Management.
