Brian O'Leary was one of the first stars for the fledgling Saint Anselm men's lacrosse team from 1998 through his graduation in 2001. Joining a team that had won just seven games across the first four seasons of its existence, O'Leary and the Hawks racked up 29 wins during his time that saw him establish the team's assists record (152) that remains unthreatened to this day.

Racking up 210 career points of offense for Saint Anselm, he registered 39 assists in 1998 and followed with back-to-back campaigns of 42 and 44 helpers, respectively – those figures remain the top three single-season assist records to date. The two-time NE10 Second Team All-Conference selection was pivotal in his team's first NE10 tournament appearance in 1999.

Winner of the NCAA Division II statistical championship in assists per game (3.38) in 2000, O'Leary holds the single-game records in points (12 vs. American Int'l, 04/13/98) and assists (9 vs. American Int'l, 04/13/98). He currently owns the NE10 record for assists in a career.
