COACHING STAFF
CHRIS HEAD COACH GABRIELLI Chris Gabrielli became the eighth head coach of the Providence College men’s lacrosse program on June 21, 2012 and is embarking on his sixth season with the team. During the 2017 season, Gabrielli led the Friars to their second-consecutive BIG EAST Tournament since the conference began sponsoring men’s lacrosse in 2010. The Friars entered the tournament as the No. 3 seed and advanced to the Championship game. This marked the first time in program history that the program advanced to the final of the BIG EAST Tournament. The Friars finished 10-7 on the season, tying the program’s record for wins. Gabrielli also led his team to numerous accolades on the 2017 season, most notably two All-America honors. Jarrod Neumann was named to the All-America Second Team and Tate Boyce earned All-America Third team recognition. Neumann and Boyce also earned BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year and Goalkeeper of the Year, respectively under the direction of Coach Gabrielli. Five Friars earned BIG EAST honors during the 2017 season. Under the leadership of Gabrielli, the Providence lacrosse coaching staff were named 2017 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year. During the 2016 season, Gabrielli led the Friars to their first BIG EAST Tournament appearance. The season marked the second consecutive season under Gabrielli that players earned All-BIG EAST First-Team recognition. Jarrod Neumann ‘17 and Tate Boyce ‘19 were named by the league to the All-BIG EAST First Team. Will Mazzone ‘16 and Michael Perettine ‘16 were also named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team. The four Friar selections mark the most for the program in a single season. In 2015, Gabrielli coached Peter Badgley ‘15 to BIG EAST Goaltender of the Year and All-BIG EAST First Team honors. It marked the first time in program history that a Friar had been named BIG EAST Goaltender of the Year. Additionally, Jarrod Neumann joined Badgley on the All-BIG EAST First Team. The duo made history, again, as the first players in the program to earn All-BIG EAST First-Team honors. Over the past five seasons, Gabrielli has mentored two student-athletes to BIG EAST Goaltender of the Year (2015, 2017), four student-athletes to the All-BIG EAST First Team (2015-17), five student-athletes to the All-BIG EAST Second Team (2013 & 2016-17), two student-athlete to the All-New England First Team (2013 & 2017), one student-athlete to the All-New England Second Team (2015 & 2016) and one student-athlete to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team (2015-2017). Following the 2013 season, Gabrielli was named New England Coach of the Year. Gabrielli came to Providence College after spending the previous six seasons as an assistant coach at Duke University, where he worked primarily with the Blue Devils’ defensive unit. He also served as the program’s recruiting coordinator, under the direction of current Duke Head Coach John Danowski. While at Duke, Gabrielli helped guide the program to six NCAA Final Four appearances (2007-12) and two trips to the National Championship game (2007, 2010). The Blue Devils went on to win the National Championship in 2010. Duke also captured five ACC regular-season titles (2007-09, 2011-12) and four ACC Tournament titles (2007-09, 2012). Under the watchful eye of Gabrielli, Duke’s defense consistently ranked among the best nationally. Annually one of the stingiest defenses in Division I lacrosse, Duke was among the top 10 in scoring defense in 2007 and 2008 and has been among the top 25 every year under Gabrielli. In the 2010 NCAA finals, the Blue Dev-

As a senior in 2001, he captained the Minutemen to a 12-2 overall record and a share of the ECAC Championship, while earning Second-Team All-Conference and First-Team All-New England honors. A two-time winner of the Eric Sopracasa “Heart and Soul Award,” an honor presented annually to the UMass player who displays the most leadership and dedication to the program, Gabrielli went on to play in the 2001 NorthSouth All-Star game and the MLL Major League Challenge.

On November 21, program members Will Duncan, DJ Sperzel and Conor Hilton along with Coach Matt Francis teamed up with the 02908 Club to help deliver over 1,600 turkeys throughout the Providence Area.

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE
Responding to the needs of Rhode Island, the Dominican Order of Preachers made a special commitment to the state in 1917 and founded Providence College — the only institution of higher learning in North America that is conducted by the Order. Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars continue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, to teach at every level of the United States educational system. With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire person through its values-oriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his/her own values — values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime. To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary society, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts.

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE ROBERT G. DRISCOLL, JR. / ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT / ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Now in his 16th season as Providence College’s Associate Vice President & Athletics Director, Bob Driscoll has transformed and reinvigorated Providence College’s athletics program. Having established a vision of student-athlete success in the classroom and in the community while competing for championships, Driscoll maintains focus on leading, fostering and mentoring one of the nation’s most respected athletic programs. Over the past four years, Driscoll has been the architect of one of the most successful eras in the history of Providence College athletics. The Friars continued their success during 2016-17, with the men’s basketball team’s fourth-consecutive NCAA appearance. Providence College ranked 79th in the final 2017 Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, marking the 13th time that the Friars finished inside the top-100, including three of the last four years. Providence finished third among NCAA Division I non-FBS/FCS institutions and second among BIG EAST Conference members. The Friars also have excelled in the classroom, with Providence’s student-athletes combining for an average GPA of 3.17 in 2017. Aside from excelling in the classroom and competing for championships, Driscoll’s student-athletes are very active in the local community. Last year alone, Friar student-athletes combined for over 3,500 hours of community service. Driscoll was instrumental in positioning the College’s athletics program for success as a member of the reconfigured BIG EAST Conference, where the Friars compete against top-flight academic and athletic institutions in a new era of rivalries built on rich athletic traditions. The BIG EAST and its membership have a long-term television contract with FOX Sports and its marquee men’s basketball championship tournament at Madison Square Garden. Seven of the league’s 10 members, including Providence College, competed in the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, securing its status as one of the premier basketball conferences in the nation. Additionally, Friars hockey competes in the Hockey East Association, considered by many to be the top hockey conference in the nation. One of the biggest impacts Driscoll has had on the Providence College Athletics Department, and the College as a whole, has been with facility development, construction and renovation. Since his arrival in 2001, Driscoll has transformed the College’s athletics facilities. Construction was completed in the fall of 2015 to build Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium, where the men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse programs play, as well as a new softball field and tennis courts. In December 2015, the College announced a historic gift to begin Phase I construction of the Ruane Friar Development Center, which will include a men’s basketball training and recruiting facility in addition to the College’s academic services space. Phase I construction is expected to be completed by fall 2018. In September of 2013, a state-of-the art renovation and 30,000-square foot addition project to Schneider Arena was completed. The Ray Treacy Track was built over the summer of 2013 to give the men’s and women’s cross country and track programs an improved place to train and race, as well as serving the whole Providence College community. Taylor Natatorium also underwent extensive renovations in 2013. Other facility upgrades that have highlighted Driscoll’s tenure include an $80-million renovation of the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, which serves as the home venue for Friars men’s basketball. The project was the result of Driscoll working strategically with lead officials in the City of Providence and the State of Rhode Island. The renovations enhanced the game-day experience by adding 20 luxury boxes, new seats, a video scoreboard, sound system, updated restaurant and concession stands, team store, locker rooms and new weight training/fitness areas. In September of 2012, renovations of Alumni Hall were completed. Alumni Hall, which is the practice facility for men’s basketball and the home of the Friar women’s basketball and volleyball teams, is now a state-of-the-art facility. Kicking off Driscoll’s vision for the improved athletic facilities footprint at Providence College, the Concannon Fitness Center, opened in August of 2007, adjacent to Lennon Family Field (Astroturf facility), which was completed in August 2005. A new Astroturf surface was installed on Lennon Family Field in the summer of 2017. The Fitness Center houses the Friars’ Jimmy Walker Strength and Conditioning Center for varsity student-athletes, as well as administrative and coaching offices, conference rooms and locker rooms. Driscoll established the athletic fundraising philosophy and department that has been instrumental in making program upgrades possible. He and his staff have exceeded fundraising goals on a yearly basis, including a record $6.6-million in cash donations during the 2016-17 fiscal calendar. The additional revenue remains critical to building and supporting championship programs and providing the best opportunities to Providence College’s student-athletes. The funds Driscoll and his staff raise help directly support all 19 of Providence College’s Division I programs, the Friars Forever Fund and capital projects. Driscoll joined the Providence community after 14½ years in athletic administration at the University of California, Berkeley, culminating in serving as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. Prior to that, he was Cal’s Executive Associate Athletic Director. Before arriving at Cal, Driscoll served six years (1981-87) as the Athletic Director and Chair of the Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Intramural Sports at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Prior to Mills, Driscoll was Assistant Athletic Director and Head Baseball and Hockey Coach at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. from 1977-81. Driscoll played hockey and baseball at Ithaca College (N.Y.), where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1974. He earned his Master of Science in Physical Education/Psychology of Sports from Ithaca in 1975. A native of West Concord, Mass., Driscoll was inducted into the inaugural class of Concord-Carlisle High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame (football, ice hockey and baseball) in 1993. He and his wife Cathy have three grown children.

THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE In its fifth year of a configuration that includes 10 outstanding and respected academic institutions, the BIG EAST Conference is entrenched as one of the nation’s outstanding Conferences and a leader in collegiate athletics. The BIG EAST reorganized in 2013 and began a new era by returning to its basketball-centric heritage. The league’s 10 member schools—Butler University, Creighton University, DePaul University, Georgetown University, Marquette University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University, Villanova University, and Xavier University—adhere to an unwavering commitment to academic integrity, athletic excellence and community service. Val Ackerman, who previously served as founding President of the WNBA, President of USA Basketball and U.S. representative to the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), was named fifth Commissioner of the BIG EAST in conjunction with new alignment in 2013. Under her leadership, the BIG EAST has maintained its reputation for athletic achievement at the highest level and has continued to be influential on the national intercollegiate landscape, with numerous conference and campus administrators currently serving on important NCAA committees. She is one of the few sports executives who has held leadership positions in both men’s and women’s sports at the collegiate, professional, national team and international level. Founded by Dave Gavitt in 1979, the BIG EAST has been lauded as a leader in innovative concepts in promotion, particularly television, and that reputation continues with the conference’s relationship with FOX Sports. The BIG EAST has a fruitful multi-year partnership with FOX Sports and its national cable network FS1. FOX’s comprehensive coverage of BIG EAST men’s basketball includes the broadcast of all regular season games on FOX, FS1, FS2 or FOX Regional Networks, as well as the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden, college basketball’s longest-running postseason conference tourney held at the same venue. BIG EAST institutions are located in seven of the nation’s 36 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. FOX Sports platforms carry complete coverage of women’s basketball regular season play and the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament. Every Olympic sport championship is also carried on the network or digital platforms. The BIG EAST has also increased the visibility of its member school programs with the expansion of the BIG EAST Digital Network (BEDN). When the conference launched BEDN in 2014-15, the league became the first collegiate conference to be hosted on the FOX Sports mobile platform, FOX Sports Go, the app that provides live streaming of FOX Sports content. For the second straight year, BEDN will carry 225 live events with an emphasis on women’s basketball, soccer and Olympic sport regular season and championship events. The BIG EAST Conference became a reality in May of 1979 through the vision of Gavitt, the former Providence College men’s basketball coach and athletic director. Providence, St. John’s, Georgetown, Syracuse, Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College formed the original seven-school alliance, and within the span of just a few years the conference had become a national power in men’s basketball. While the composition of the BIG EAST evolved over the next three decades, the focus of its schools did not change, reflecting a tradition of broad-based programs led by administrators and coaches who emphasize academic strength and fair play. In December of 2012, the seven BIG EAST schools that do not compete in FBS football—DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall and Villanova—announced their intention to separate from the conference’s football-playing schools and form an independent association. On March 20, 2013, the seven schools reached an agreement that enabled them to retain the BIG EAST name and assume the old conference’s long-term pact with Madison Square Garden to host the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament, one of the premier events in college athletics. The schools also announced the addition of three distinguished institutions sharing the same academic and athletic values —Butler, Creighton and Xavier— and forged a landmark, long-term broadcast partnership with FOX Sports. The BIG EAST moved its headquarters from its original location in Providence, R.I., to midtown Manhattan in New York City to complete the transformation. The BIG EAST’s new era officially began on July 1, 2013, its effective date as the NCAA’s 32nd Division I conference. To complement its athletic successes, the conference launched BIG EAST Serves in 2014 to align with the service missions of the 10 member institutions. Initiatives housed under the BIG EAST Serves umbrella, such as BIG EAST Serves Day, the BIG EAST Career Consortium and the national partnership with the It’s On Us campaign against campus sexual assaults, reflect the conference’s commitment to developing the complete BIG EAST student-athlete and making a positive contribution to the campus communities of its member schools and the conference’s headquarters in New York. In 2017, the BIG EAST hosted its inaugural Mental Health Summit to help provide institutional personnel with information, insights and basic training so they can better support the mental health of their student-athletes. The BIG EAST and Commissioner Ackerman have taken a leadership role in Sport at the Service of Humanity, an initiative created by the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Culture to focus on how sport and faith can drive positive social change through six principles – joy, compassion, respect, enlightenment, love and balance. Ackerman was a delegate at the inaugural Vatican conference and served on an advisory committee to development the framework and content for the initiative. The BIG EAST hosts Freshmen Fundamentals, a unique program designed to assist men’s basketball student-athletes in the transition from high school to college and the elite level of BIG EAST basketball. In 2016, the league started the Transition Game program for women’s basketball. The interactive event assists women’s basketball student-athletes in the transition from college player to emerging professional, both on and off the court. BIG EAST institutions boast high graduation rates for their student-athletes, and the league has always been able to boast that many of its best athletes are also its best students. Josh Hart, a four-year standout guard at Villanova, won the 2016-17 Senior CLASS Award in his sport for excellence in classroom, community, character and competition. In his career on the court, he was a two-time winner of the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player at the BIG EAST Tournament and was a consensus All-American as a senior. DePaul’s women’s basketball outstanding performer Jessica January and Creighton volleyball standout Lauren Smith were both nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. January was a 2017 CoSIDA Academic First Team selection and a Senior CLASS Award finalist. She finished her career fourth on the school’s all-time assist list and scored more than 1,500 career points. Smith was a first team Senior CLASS Award First Team All-America pick. She closed her Creighton career with the program’s all-time record with 104 wins in and 138 matches played. She is the only Bluejay to be named BIG EAST All-Tournament Team three times. The conference, which crowns champions in 22 sports, had league teams earn a total of 33 NCAA berths and 78 individual NCAA invitations in 2016-17. Seven different national postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including seven teams in men’s basketball and three in women’s basketball. BIG EAST schools produced nine CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. In men’s basketball, the BIG EAST has earned 22 NCAA invitations in the four years of the current 10-team alignment. Current BIG EAST men’s basketball programs have enjoyed extraordinary success over the years. Villanova won the 2016 NCAA Championship, its second in school history. Georgetown and Marquette also have won the national title. DePaul, Providence, St. John’s and Seton Hall have all made it to the Final Four. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985—Georgetown, St. John’s and Villanova—the only time this has occurred in NCAA history. Over the past 14 years, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have reached the Final Four, with Butler and Villanova making two trips. Xavier has advanced to the Elite Eight three times, including 2016-17, and the Sweet 16 four other times. BIG EAST student-athletes have achieved recent success in other sports, as well. A BIG EAST team has won the NCAA women’s cross country championship four of the last eight years (Villanova won twice; Providence and Georgetown once), with one runner-up finish (Providence). Creighton men’s soccer has reached the NCAA College Cup in two of the past five seasons, with the Providence men advancing to the national semifinals in 2014. Georgetown’s women’s soccer team reached the College Cup in 2016, the first appearance by a team from a non-football five conference since 2005. In the 38 years since the original league opened its doors, BIG EAST teams have won 39 national championships in eight different sports with 145 student-athletes winning individual national titles in the league’s history. Since 2013, the BIG EAST has produced nine national champions. 2018 PROVIDENCE COLLEGE LACROSSE • 43
