Trevor Craven joined the Emmanuel coaching staff in 2010, as the first Assistant Coach for the Saints Men's Lacrosse Program. Coach Craven and Head Coach Brendan McWilliams will have the new varsity program ready to compete in its inaugural season in the spring of 2012. "Coach Craven is a motivated, hard working, and enthusiastic coach. We are excited to have him on board recruiting this year, as well as coaching our developmental club program in the spring of 2011."

Prior to signing on with the Saints, Coach Craven was an assistant coach at UMass Boston, where he helped lead the 2006 Beacons to the Little East Conference Semifinals and to the ECAC Tournament Semifinals. Coach Craven also coached at the high school level. In 2003, as an assistant coach at Cohasset High School, he helped lead his program to the semifinals of the MIAA Division III Tournament.

Coach Craven did his undergraduate work at the University of Massachusetts-Boston, where he majored in American Studies and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2006. During his lacrosse playing days, Craven was a four-year starter and two-time team captain at UMass Boston, playing both defense and midfield. Craven set the Beacon program-record for career games played. During his four years at UMB (2002-2005), Craven's teams made Little East Conference playoffs each year, including three conference semi-final appearances. His senior year team made a trip to the ECAC semifinals and Craven received UMass Boston's William J. Puerto Award, which is to a member of the senior class for their leadership and dedication to UMass Boston Athletics.

Coach Craven was a starter and senior captain at Weymouth High School, class of 2001. During his high school years, Craven played for the local lacrosse legend, Tony Manzelli. Coach McWilliams stated, "Coach Craven was lucky enough to have played for a hall of fame lacrosse coach in the late Coach Manzelli at Weymouth. I am hoping he can help bring to our program at Emmanuel, the excitement, passion, and dedication to the game for which Coach Manzelli was known."

Currently, Coach Craven resides in Weymouth with his wife Sheri and son Jackson.
