The Sea Gulls established a new school record for victories and consecutive victories while also recording the program's ninth straight winning season.
Nestor's squad finished with a 14-2 final record in 2003 while capturing its third Capital Athletic Conference title and earning the program's fourth NCAA Tournament berth. Salisbury advanced to the NCAA's South Region final while finishing fifth in the final 2003 national rankings.
As a follow-up in 2004, the Sea Gulls added another conference championship and earned the program's second berth into the NCAA national semifinal round. SU finished the year tied for third in the nation, with a number four national ranking and a final 16-3 record.
As a by-product of the team's success, Salisbury had 19 players recognized on the all-conference teams in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, including 2005 CAC player of the year, senior midfielder Linda Ackerman and 2006 CAC player of the year, senior attacker Kate Scott. Coach Nestor has also had 19 players named to the all-South Atlantic Region teams. In addition, Nestor was recognized by his peers as the CAC's Coach of the Year in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. He was also the IWLCA's South Region Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2005 and the IWLCA's Division III Coach of the Year in 2005.
Nestor, who also coaches the Salisbury women's soccer team, is a 1990 graduate of the University who returned to his alma mater after serving as the head coach for both women’s lacrosse and women’s soccer at Division II Gannon University in Erie, PA for six years. Nestor has piloted the Salisbury women's soccer team to a 45-23-9 record through his first four seasons.
Nestor compiled a 73-20-1 record in six seasons with the Gannon women’s lacrosse program. He guided the team to a winning season every year during the program’s six-year history. Gannon won three straight ECAC Championships from 1998-2000, and was named the co-national champion by the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) following the 2000 season.
Nestor was named the IWLCA’s Division II Coach of the Year in 1996, and was recognized as the NCAA Division II Coach of the Year in 2000 by College LacrosseUSA.com. Gannon had 21 players recognized as all-Americans during Nestor’s tenure with the program.
