SALISBURY, Md. — One of the most successful college lacrosse coaches of all time is calling it a career. Salisbury University announced Tuesday that men's lacrosse head coach Jim Berkman is retiring after 38 years leading the program. Berkman described his nearly four-decade career as "a great run."

Berkman retires as the winningest coach in college lacrosse history with 678 career victories and a record 13 national championships. No other coach has reached 500 career wins.
