John Haus, former head coach of the University of North Carolina and Johns Hopkins University who also led Washington College to the 1998 NCAA Division III Championship, finished his second season at Lebanon Valley College in 2011 after leading the College's re-introduction of men's lacrosse in the spring of 2010.

Haus, a 1983 graduate of North Carolina, holds a 133-103 career record in 15 years as a head coach at Washington, Johns Hopkins, UNC, and LVC. In that span, he led those teams to eight NCAA tournaments - including five NCAA semifinal or final appearances - and coached 55 all-Americans.

In his first season with the Dutchmen, Haus assembled his team from scratch, and they made history as they won their first two games as LVC played lacrosse for the first time since 1985.

The young program blossomed in 2011, winning six games and proving they could be contenders in the Middle Atlantic Conference, competing for a playoff spot up to the final week of the season.

Prior to coming to Annville, Haus spent eight seasons at his alma mater, turning around a struggling Tar Heel program by going 58-52 with three NCAA Tournament appearances, including back-to-back bids in 2007 and 2008, including the program's first top-4 seed in the NCAA tournament since 1996. Playing in the ultra-competitive Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Haus mentored 19 all-Americans, including 2004 Tewaaraton Trophy finalist Jed Prossner.

Before returning to Chapel Hill, Haus was the head coach of lacrosse's most storied program, Johns Hopkins, where he led the Blue Jays to a 20-7 record and two NCAA semifinal appearances in his two seasons there.

No stranger to Division III, Haus led Washington College to unprecedented success in the late 1990s. After taking over the program and going 6-8 in his first season, Haus installed his first recruiting class and led the Shoremen to a 13-5 record and the NCAA championship game a year later in 1996, earning Division III National Coach of the Year honors in the process. His team returned to the final in 1997 with seven all-Americans and the national goalkeeper of the year; the third time was the charm in 1998 as the team won the NCAA championship.

Before his stint at Washington, Haus was assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Hopkins, helping the team to seven straight NCAA appearances, including the 1989 national final and two other semifinal appearances. He twice coached the national defensemen and goalies of the year.

Haus found just as much success as a player, leading North Carolina to two NCAA championships as an all-American defenseman. The Tar Heels made it at least as far as the NCAA semifinals during each of his four years, and went an undefeated 26-0 during his sophomore and junior seasons. He earned all-America and all-ACC honors as a junior and senior.

Haus resides with his wife, Lisa, and their four boys, Luke, Will, John, and Grant.

Since joining the program in 2012, he has been a part of all day-to-day lacrosse operations, with duties that include opponent scouting reports, recruiting, travel logistics, team meals, fundraising, social media, practice construction, and film exchange and breakdown. On the field, Kieffer primarily works with the offensive personnel players, goalies, and face-off players.

In 2019, Kieffer helped coach five All MAC Commonwealth selections in Kevin Beaver (1T), Cam Epple (2T), Luke Tamberino (2T), Matt Torrence (2T), and Nick Mowry (HM). During this season Kevin Beaver became only the third player in program history to score 100 career goals. Kevin also became only the 2nd ever Dutchmen to earn the MAC Men's Lacrosse Scholar Athlete award for his work in the classroom and on the field.

In the 2018 campaign saw Kieffer help lead the Dutchmen to the MAC Commonwealth Championship Tournament for the fourth consecutive season. Five players in Coleman Wagner (1T), Kevin Beaver (2T), Blake Weaver (2T), Cam Epple (2T), and Nick Mowry (2T) picked up all-conference recognition. Wagner and Beaver were recognized with Academic All-MAC accolades for their success in the classroom, while Wagner also became just the second player in program history to earn IMLCA All-Region honors (HM).

In the spring of 2017, LVC returned to the MAC Commonwealth Tournament after Austin Minnich (1T), Klayton Garman (2T), Wagner (2T), Epple (2T), and Barrett Campbell (HM) turned in all-conference seasons. Minnich was especially strong in earning IMLCA All-Region recognition for the second year in a row to go along with a spot in the USILA North/South All-Star Game. The senior also became LVC's first player to be named a USILA/Nike Scholar All-American. Garman was named the USILA National Player of the Week after setting a program record by scoring nine goals in a game and he joined Minnich as Academic All-MAC honorees.

In 2016, he helped the Dutchmen to another appearance in the MAC Commonwealth Championship Tournament before earning a berth in the ECAC Tourney. Five players in Koty Keefer (1T), Minnich (1T), Wagner (2T), Epple (2T), and Mowry (HM) picked up all-conference recognition, while Minnich was named IMLCA Second-Team All-Region for the first time in his career.

In 2015, Justin helped coach the MAC Commonwealth Rookie of the Year and second-team all-conference midfielder Koty Keefer, and MAC Commonwealth Honorable Mention attackmen Klayton Garman. He oversaw one MAC Commonwealth Player of the Week, two ECAC Players of the Week, and a pair of USILA Players of the Week. The Dutchmen reached the quarterfinals of the MAC Commonwealth and ECAC championship tournaments.
 
In 2014, Kieffer helped coach the program's first ever USILA All-American and ECAC All-Star in long pole midfielder Ryan Lanigan. During the season, he was a part of a staff that produced three MAC Commonwealth First-Team selections (Malik Pedroso, Ryan Lanigan, and Andrew Kruter) and an all-conference honorable mention (Scott Travers). Malik Pedroso was twice named the MAC Commonwealth Player of the Week during the spring. The Dutchmen ended their season in the ECAC quarterfinals.
 
The 2013 season was the most successful campaign of LVC's modern era. The team finished with a program-record 12 wins and reached the MAC Commonwealth and ECAC semifinal rounds. Kieffer helped guide five All-MAC Commonwealth selections during this season in first-teamers Ryan Lanigan and Malik Pedroso, second-teamers Andrew Kruter and Mike Moll, and honorable mention selection Ian Schmid. Three Dutchmen were named MAC Commonwealth Players of the Week that spring.
 
The 2012 season was Kieffer's first with the Dutchmen. LVC finished 9-6 and reached the MAC Commonwealth semifinals for the first time in the program's modern era. Kieffer helped coach three First-Team All-MAC Commonwealth selections in Pedroso, Kruter, and Scott Sutton. That spring, the Dutchmen garnered three MAC Commonwealth Player of the Week awards between Pedroso and Moll.
 
Prior to joining the coaching staff, Kieffer played four years at Alfred University as a two-way midfielder under head coach Jason Lockner. During his career, Kieffer scored 45 goals and added seven assists, earning the the team's offensive MVP award as a freshmen. He was also a member of the club ice hockey team and earned his degree in sociology.

At Middletown High School (Md.), Kieffer was a standout midfielder where he was a three-time Frederick News Post All-Area selection, earning first-team honors as a senior. He was a three-time first-team All-MVAL Piedmont Conference selection and a second-team All-Washington Post selection. As a senior, Kieffer was chosen a team captain and named offensive MVP. Kieffer was also a standout for the ice hockey team, as he was a two-time MSHL All-Star selection, two-time captain, and a member of two Frederick In-House league championship teams. Kieffer also played football.
