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 seventh season with the team. Gabrielli had three All-BIG EAST selections in 2018. Senior James Barclay was a unanimous First Team selection. Junior Tate Boyce joined him on the First Team, while freshman Evan McGreen collected Second Team Honors. Barclay and Boyce also earned All-New England Second Team honors. Barclay was drafted for both the MLL (57th overall) and NLL (ninth overall) at the conclusion of his career. Jake Cook was also taken in the NLL draft (65th overall). 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 to the All-BIG EAST First Team. Will Mazzone ‘16 and Michael Perettine ‘16 were also named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team. 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 six seasons, Gabrielli has mentored two student-athletes to BIG EAST Goaltender of the Year (2015, 2017). In addition, he’s coached four All-BIG EAST First Team selections, six All-BIG EAST Second Team selections, three studentathletes to the All-New England First Team, three student-athletes to the All-New England Second Team and five student-athletes to the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team. 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 was among

the top 25 every year under Gabrielli. In the 2010 NCAA finals, the Blue Devils held Notre Dame to just five goals in their 6-5 overtime victory, tying for the second fewest goals allowed in a NCAA championship game. During his six seasons with the Blue Devils, Gabrielli mentored seven players to 11 All-America awards.

Schmeisser Award recipient as the national defenseman of the year, 2012 ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Year and four-time AllAmerican CJ Costabile and 2008 ACC Rookie of the Year and two-time All-America selection Michael Manley. Four of Gabrielli’s former student-athletes currently suit up for Major League Lacrosse squads, including Manley who was picked third overall in this year’s MLL draft.

Under his mentorship, three Butler defensemen earned All-GWLL honors. Gabrielli was a member of the coaching staff at his alma mater, Massachusetts, from 2003-05, helping the Minutemen to a 33-13 overall record with two NCAA quarterfinal berths. Gabrielli was a member of the practice squad for the Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse during the 2004 season before being drafted again by the Cannons in the 2005 Supplemental Draft. In 2004, he co-founded the Mid-Summer Classic, a high school lacrosse tournament currently held on the UMass campus. A four-year letter winner as a defenseman at Massachusetts, Gabrielli picked up 127 ground balls and added five assists in his career. 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.

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. Students may choose from some 60 concentrations ranging from computer science to labor relations to theatre arts. In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college. As part of the core curriculum, all students take a two-year, teamtaught course, Development of Western Civilization (DWC) which integrates the study of literature, philosophy, history and religious studies through the ages into a cohesive interdisciplinary unit. Situated just on the fringe of downtown Providence, the College’s location enables students to have easy access to the many social, cultural, educational and recreational amenities of urban life - the Providence Public Library; entertainment at the Providence Performing Arts Center; sporting events, entertainment and trade shows at the Dunkin' Donuts Center and the Providence Convention Center, Providence Place Mall and dozens of fine restaurants. With several other major educational institutions located in Providence, the city has become a hub of collegiate activity.
THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Providence College is a primarily undergraduate, liberal arts, Catholic institu-
tion of higher education. Committed to fostering academic excellence through the sciences and humanities, the College provides a variety of opportunities for intellectual, social, moral and spiritual growth in a supportive environment.

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE ROBERT G. DRISCOLL, JR. / ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT / ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Entering his 17th 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 five 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 2017-18, with the men’s basketball team’s fifth-consecutive NCAA appearance. Providence finished in a three-way tie for third in the BIG EAST standings at 10-8, highlighted by a momentous 76-71 win over then-No. 3/2 Villanova at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. As the No. 5 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament, Providence’s run to the title game included three-consecutive overtime contests – a 72-68 win over No. 4 Creighton, a 75-72 triumph over top-seeded Xavier, and a 76-66 setback to eventual national champion Villanova. Men’s hockey continued its run with its fifth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and fifth-consecutive 20-plus win season under Head Coach Nate Leaman. The Friars advanced to their first Hockey East Championship Game since 2001 with a 3-2 overtime win over Northeastern in the semifinals. Providence also advanced to the NCAA East Regional Final by virtue of a 1-0 win over Clarkson in Bridgeport, Conn. Sophomore defenseman Jacob Bryson earned Second Team All-American and First Team Hockey East recognition, while teammate Erik Foley also earned First Team Hockey East Distinction. The team finished the season ranked seventh in the USCHO poll and ninth in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll, marking the sixth-consecutive season that the program has earned a spot in the final national polls. Providence became just the third Division I school all-time to have both men’s basketball and men’s hockey programs earn NCAA Tournament bids in the same season for fiveconsecutive years. Women’s cross country secured its fifth NCAA Northeast Regional crown in the last six seasons, while Catarina Rocha captured the individual BIG EAST Cross Country crown. The Friars earned its 28th NCAA Cross Country Championships berth, finishing 16th overall at the event. Rocha, Brianna Ilarda, Millie Paladino, and Abbey Wheeler, All-Northeast Region honors after finishing in the top-25 at the NCAA Northeast Regional meet. Paladino also qualified for the final of the women’s mile at the NCAA Indoor Championships, finishing sixth overall to earn First Team All-American recognition. Rocha and Wheeler both qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 5,000m event. Wheeler advanced to the final of the 5,000m, finishing 19th overall and earning Honorable Mention All-American accolades. Providence College ranked 107th in the final Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, finishing sixth among NCAA Division I non-FBS/FCS institutions and third among BIG EAST Conference members. The Friars picked up a total of 170.00 points. The men’s hockey program picked up the most points for the Friars (60) by virtue of its run to the NCAA East Regional Final. This impressive run kicked off when the 2013 women’s cross country team claimed the College’s second NCAA Championship. It continued with the men’s basketball team winning the 2014 BIG EAST Tournament title and advanced to the 2014 and 2015 NCAA Tournaments. The men’s hockey team made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances (2014 and 2015) for the first time in program history before claiming its first NCAA Championship with a dramatic, come-from-behind win over Boston University on April 11, 2015 at the TD Garden. It marked the College’s third NCAA team title and its first in a men’s sport. For the second time in his tenure, Driscoll was recognized as the Under Armour I-AAA Athletics Director of the Year at the 51st Annual National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) convention in June 2016. In June 2008, Driscoll also was named the 2007-08 Astro Turf Athletics Director of the Year for the Division I Northeast Region at the 43rd National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Annual Convention. The Friars also have excelled in the classroom, with Providence’s student-athletes combining for an average GPA of 3.22. After a school-record six Providence College athletic programs received Public Recognition Awards in 2014 as part of the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) program, three Friar teams earned the honor in 2015 and two teams, women’s swimming & diving and women’s tennis, earned recognition awards in 2016 and 2017. Multiple Friar teams have been honored in each of the 13 years the NCAA has given out the Public Recognition Awards. 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 2,000 hours of community service, raising $28,880. Providence was named a runner-up for the 2018 NACDA Community Service Award, earning $5,000 to donate to local charities. 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. Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium has also played host to the BIG EAST Lacrosse Tournament (2017) and the USILA North-South All-Star Game (20172018). Men’s soccer also played host to a BIG EAST Semifinal and a NCAA First Round game at Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium in 2016. Women’s soccer finished 7-3-0 in their inaugural season at Anderson Stadium in 2016. 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. Groundbreaking for the Ruane Friar Development Center took place on Oct. 1, 2016 in a ceremony held outside Alumni Hall. Phase I construction is expected to be completed in August 2018. In September of 2013, a state-of-the art renovation and 30,000-square foot addition project to Schneider Arena was completed. The project included new locker rooms, new coaches’ offices, a renovated press box, a state-of-the-art video board and sound system, luxury boxes, as well as a new hockey and lacrosse strength and conditioning room. 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. These renovations have enabled Providence College to serve as host for the First and Second Rounds of the 2010, 2016, and the future 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. 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 in addition to a new videoboard in the summer of 2018. 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. Additionally, the Concannon Fitness Center serves the whole Providence College community and houses the recreation sports staff, furthering the bond between the campus community and Friar Athletics. Next, the Canavan Sports Medicine Center was completed in August of 2008. 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 $6.4-million in cash donations during the 2017-18 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. In the past, Driscoll has served as the President of the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association. He also has served as First Vice President and Second Vice President for the organization. Additionally, Driscoll represents the BIG EAST’s athletic directors on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council, serves as a mentor for the Division I-AAA mentoring program and serves on the Hockey East Television Negotiations and Marketing Committees. He previously served on the NCAA Division I Management Council, the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship Committee (Chair 2010-11) and was the Chair of the BIG EAST Athletic Directors in 2011-12. Driscoll also was an NCAA Fellows Programs Executive Mentor. Currently, Driscoll serves on the BIG EAST Finance Committee with the league’s other presidents and also is a Chair for the Hockey East Board of Directors. 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 and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department, as well as overseeing football, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s water polo, rugby, strength training, equipment and the sports medicine programs. Driscoll was hired at Cal as the Associate Athletic Director for Student Services, a position he held for five years. He then assumed the position of Executive Associate Athletic Director, at which point he was responsible for the administration of 27 varsity sports, a staff of 250 and a $36 million budget. Prior to coming to Providence, he served as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. During his tenure, Cal won over 20 national championships and competed in the Citrus, Copper, Alamo and Aloha Bowls. The Bears also finished as high as 12th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup. 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, where he was captain and team MVP for threeconsecutive years, and baseball at Ithaca College (N.Y.). He received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1974 and 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 After the first five years in its current configuration of 10 outstanding and respected academic institutions, the BIG EAST Conference has continued its position as one of the nation’s exceptional Conferences and a leader in collegiate athletics. In the arena and on the playing fields, the BIG EAST’s consortium of 10 schools has produced 11 national champions over the past five academic years. Six BIG EAST teams, including two in men’s basketball, have captured national titles. BIG EAST student-athletes also have won national championships in five individual events. In the classroom, 66 BIG EAST athletic programs were recognized in 2017-18 by the NCAA with Public Recognition Awards for outstanding academic achievement in the previous academic year. The BIG EAST ranked third nationally among conferences in percentage of recognized teams with 41.8 percent behind only the Ivy League and Patriot League. By percentage, Villanova led all schools nationally with 82 percent of its squads receiving recognition. BIG EAST schools also produced 15 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. In 2013, the BIG EAST 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. Ackerman 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 enjoyed a successful 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 a network or digital platform. The BIG EAST has also increased the visibility of its member school programs with 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 App, the app that provides live streaming of FOX Sports content. For the third straight year, BEDN will air 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 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 that emphasize academic strength and fair play. In December of 2012, DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall and Villanova, announced their intention to separate from the conference’s FBS footballplaying schools and form an independent association. The seven schools reached an agreement to retain the BIG EAST name and assume the 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 sports. 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. To complement its athletic successes, the conference launched BIG EAST Serves in 2014 to align with the service missions of the member institutions. Initiatives housed under the BIG EAST Serves umbrella, 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 and the conference’s headquarters in New York. In 2017, the BIG EAST hosted a 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. That effort continued with the Well Being Forum in 2018. 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 has served on an advisory committee to develop the framework and content for the initiative as well as several regional follow-up events. 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. The league hosts Transition Game for women’s basketball, which assists women’s basketball student-athletes in the transition from college player to emerging professional 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. In 2018, for the first time in league history, the individual BIG EAST Men’s and Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete Award winners also were named BIG EAST Players of the Year. Jalen Brunson of Villanova and Allazia Blockton of Marquette were the honorees. Track and cross country standouts Catarina Braz-Rocha of Providence and Siofra Clerigh Buttner of Villanova were the BIG EAST nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. The conference, which crowns champions in 22 sports, had league teams earn a total of 35 NCAA berths and 28 individual NCAA invitations in 2017-18. Nine different national postseason championships saw multiple BIG EAST teams participate, including six teams in men’s basketball and a record four squads in women’s basketball. Each women’s hoops team won its NCAA first-round game. In men’s basketball, the BIG EAST has earned 28 NCAA invitations in the five years of the current 10-team alignment. Current BIG EAST men’s basketball programs have enjoyed extraordinary success through the years. Villanova has won three NCAA Championships, in 2018, 2016 and 1985. Georgetown and Marquette also have won the national title. DePaul, Providence, St. John’s and Seton Hall have all made 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 15 years, Butler, Georgetown, Marquette and Villanova have reached the Final Four, with Villanova making three trips and Butler two. Xavier has advanced to the Elite Eight three times 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 nine years (Villanova twice, Providence and Georgetown once), with one runner-up finish (Providence). Creighton men’s soccer has advanced to the NCAA College Cup twice in the last six seasons, with the Providence men advancing to the College Cup in 2014. Georgetown’s women’s soccer team reached the College Cup in 2016. Connecticut, an associate member in field hockey, has won three national championships in five years. Denver, as associate member in men’s lacrosse, won the NCAA crown in 2015. In the 39 years since the original league opened its doors, BIG EAST teams have won 41 national championships in eight different sports with 145 student-athletes winning individual national titles in the league’s history. 2019 PROVIDENCE COLLEGE LACROSSE • 41

Additionally, five of the nine losses were decided in overtime. • On April 18, senior defensemen James Barclay (Toronto, Ontario) was selected as the 57th overall pick by the Charlotte Hounds (Seventh Round, 3rd pick) in the 2018 Major League Lacrosse Draft (MLL).
