SUNY Cortland men's lacrosse head coach Steve Beville served as the head coach for the Iroquois Nationals at the 2014 FIL World Lacrosse Championships and led the team to a bronze-medal finish for its first ever medal.

Playing in the top "Blue" division at the 38-team tournament in Denver in mid-July, the Iroquois Nationals finished 3-2 in divisional play with wins over England, Japan and Australia, a one-goal loss to eventual world champion Canada, and a loss to the United States. The Iroquois then defeated Scotland in the quarterfinals, lost to Canada, 12-6, in the semifinals, and won the bronze medal with a 16-5 victory versus Australia in the third-place game.

Beville is 142-22 (.866) in eight seasons at Cortland. He led the Red Dragons to the 2009 NCAA Div. III title, as well as national runner-up finishes in 2007, 2008 and 2012, semifinal appearances and 2010 and 2013, and quarterfinal showings in 2001 and 2014. He also coached at Colorado College for 10 years from 1989-98 and at the University of Vermont for eight years from 1999-2006.
