After a decorated playing career, Paul Ruskoski returned to the Flyers staff as a volunteer assistant coach in September 2026.
During the 2025 campaign, Ruskoski put together one of the best individual campaigns in program history, earning USILA Second Team All-American, USILA Scholar All-American, USILA Senior All-Star Game honoree, USA Lacrosse Magazine Division II Second Team All-American, and All-GLVC First Team honors.Â

The new program record holder for total points in a single season with 78, Ruskoski also set a new program record for goals in a game with nine against Walsh and scored at least three goals in nine contests last season. He earned GLVC Offensive Player of the Week accolades after his record performance against Walsh. His 47 goals and 65 points both ended the regular season in the top five in the GLVC. In the NCAA Tournament against Newberry, Ruskoski set the program record for goals in an NCAA Tournament contest with six against the Wolves, passing the previous high of four, which was set by Evan Clement against Maryville during the 2024 season. Ruskoski ranks top five all-time in Lewis history for both goals and points at the end of his playing time with the Red and White.
