In 2010, he coached the CAC Rookie of the Year and another All-CAC pick and one more all-conference performer in 2011 for seven in his three years with the Wolverines.

The honors add to an already impressive resume for Gorrow.  He won the 1998 NJCAA National Championship and has spent 24 seasons as a head coach, winning a total of 199 games.  

"We had several outstanding candidates for position," Wesley College Executive Director of Sport & Recreation Mike Drass noted.  "Through process it became evident that Coach Gorrow was the most qualified for the job.  We look forward to a bright future with Bill Gorrow as our head coach."

Gorrow is the second winningest head coach at Franklin & Marshall tallying 50 wins, highlighted by an appearance in the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2003 and the 2002 ECAC Championship. Gorrow coached eight All-Americans, two Academic All-Americans and his Diplomat teams were nationally ranked from 2003-2005. Under Gorrow, Franklin & Marshall won the 2002 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship with an 18-3 victory over the University of Scranton. In 2003, F&M advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals and recorded a 12-4 mark to finish with a No. 9 national ranking. He finished his career as the second-winningest coach in program history.

Prior to F&M, Gorrow coached at Anne Arundel Community College from 1993-2001, posting an astounding 106-29 record. Gorrow led his team to the NJCAA Quarterfinals or better for nine consecutive years.

In 1998, Anne Arundel would claim the NJCAA National Championship as Gorrow was named the national junior college Coach of the Year in 1999. In addition, he was named the Conference Coach of the Year from 1994-96 and from 1998-2000.

From 1983 through 1989, Gorrow directed the Division I Georgetown University men's lacrosse team as the first full-time head coach in program history.
