PAT OLMERT
Long-time University of North Carolina lacrosse friend and former Tar Heel star player Pat Olmert joined the UNC men’s lacrosse coaching staff in 1999 as the team’s volunteer assistant coach.
The 2007 season finished his 10th full year on the Carolina coaching staff.
Olmert was responsible for coaching the Tar Heels’ goalkeeping corps of Grant Zimmerman, Chris Madalon and Andrew Moss while also working with the team’s man-down defensive unit. In his capacity Olmert helped UNC goalkeeper Paul Spellman become the all-time leader at UNC in career saves in 2005.
Olmert played goalkeeper for North Carolina from 1986 through 1989. He was a freshman on the 1986 NCAA championship team and he also played on the 1988 and 1989 ACC championship teams, the latter year as the team’s starting goalkeeper.
As a senior, Olmert was selected to represent UNC at the 1989 United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association North-South All-Star Game.
Olmert still holds the highest career goalkeeper save percentage at UNC with a .663 percentage. He was also on staff as the goalie coach for the 1990 UNC lacrosse team which won the ACC championship and reached the NCAA semifinals. That was the final year of UNC coach Willie Scroggs’ 12-year tenure.
Olmert graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the University of North Carolina in 1990. Olmert has since worked full-time as a loan officer for First Financial Services, Inc., in Chapel Hill.
He and his wife Catherine Watkins Olmert, who is a 1990 graduate of UNC, live on Kerr Lake in Manson, N.C. They are the parents of Lucy Catherine Olmert, born September 17, 2002, and twins Brennan and Tucker Olmert, who were born on August 10, 2004.
Olmert is a native of Annapolis, Md. where he attended St. Mary’s High School, graduating in 1985. The following fall he matriculated at UNC and began his long association with the University as lacrosse player, friend of Carolina Lacrosse and assistant coach.
