Kyle Murakami's Experience
Kyle joined the Bulldogs in 2025 and serves as a coach for the program’s 2032 Black Team. Murakami brings both high-level playing experience and a strong collegiate coaching background to the Bulldogs organization.
Murakami began his collegiate playing career at the University of Vermont before transferring to Springfield College, where he completed his career. At Springfield, he served as a team captain during the 2020 season and was part of two NEWMAC Championship teams. During his time with the Pride, Murakami earned several honors, including USILA Academic All-American recognition in 2020, NEWMAC First Team All-Conference in 2019, and NEWMAC Academic All-Conference honors in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Following his playing career, Murakami remained at Springfield College to complete his master’s degree while serving as a graduate assistant coach for his former team. After two years in that role, he moved on to become an assistant coach for the women’s lacrosse program at Western New England University.
Outside of coaching, Murakami works full-time at Bryant University as a Student-Athlete Academic Coordinator. In this role, he supports several varsity programs, including men’s basketball, men’s soccer, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, baseball, and women’s bowling. When he isn’t at work or on lacrosse field, you can usually find him at the golf course.
