2019 Chesapeake Bayhawks season


The 2019 Chesapeake Bayhawks season is the nineteenth season for the Bayhawks franchise of Major League Lacrosse, and tenth season using the 'Chesapeake' Bayhawks moniker. It is Dave Cottle's second season of his second tenure as head coach of the team. In 2018, Cottle led the Bayhawks to their first playoff appearance in five years.
The Bayhawks will look to get back to the postseason again, after posting a 9-5 record in 2018, a season that ended in disappointment after a 13-12 home semifinal loss to the eventual champion Denver Outlaws.

The 2019 Collegiate Draft was held on March 9 in Charlotte, North Carolina at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Inside Lacrosse gave the Bayhawks an "A+" in their team-by-team draft grades, the only team receiving such high marks. One reason was for drafting likely Tewaaraton Award winner Pat Spencer from Loyola.
