In three seasons at the helm as University of Dallas Women's Lacrosse head coach, Will Oakley possesses a 10-34 record, and to his credit helped the Lady Crusaders reach the five win pleateau in 2011 -- the most in school history.

Coach Oakley has been the benefactor of several players setting game, season, and career marks at Dallas. Most notably, senior captain Christine McFarland was a three year team MVP, four year letter winner, and holds school records in six categories. 

He was previously the head coach for two WDIA teams, spending two seasons at the University of California Irvine, where he earned 2005 Southeastern Women's Lacrosse League 'Coach of the Year' honors. Prior to these experiences, Oakley led Georgia Tech to their first top 25 WDIA ranking ever, and Tech was ranked in the top 25 for portions of the 2005 and 2006 seasons under his tutelage.

Originally from Wilmington, N.C, Oakley graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. A two-time team captain for the men's lacrosse team, he also earned MCLA All-America honors his junior and senior years. While helping Tech win the 2004 Southeastern Lacrosse Conference Championship, Oakley was chosen as the 2004 Conference Offensive Player of the Year. He still holds multiple scoring records for Tech and was an SELC All-Conference selection all four years of his playing career.

He attended high school at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Del., and was named to the all-Delaware Independent School Conference team, twice for lacrosse.

In the fall of 2010, Oakley was inducted into the Georgia Tech Lacrosse 'Hall of Fame' as part of the program's inaugural class.
