Tom Mariano enters his 10th
season as the head men's
lacrosse coach at Sacred
Heart University.
Marino
has helped the Pioneers
evolve into a solid and
competitive program as they
enter their fifth season as
members of the Colonial
Athletic Association (CAA),
arguably one of the
top-lacrosse conferences in
the country. Since the
transition to Division I
began in the 1999 season,
the goal of the Pioneers has
been to compete for a league
championship and an NCAA
berth each season. Playing a
hard-nosed and enthusiastic
style, the Pioneers reflect
the work ethic and
competitive traits of
Mariano.
With
the move up to the Colonial
Athletic Association in
2002, the Pioneers have
fielded an up-tempo offense,
a tough, aggressive midfield
and closed defense. After a
solid 7-9 mark in their
inaugural Division I season
in the Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference in 2000,
in which a young team lost
four conference games by a
total of five goals, the
Pioneers came back and
posted an 8-8 overall mark
(7-2, MAAC) in 2001. This
earned the Pioneers their
first-ever MAAC Lacrosse
League tournament
appearance.
Prior
to coming to Sacred Heart,
Mariano was the head coach
at Marist College in
Poughkeepsie, NY. A native
of Ossining, NY, he is a
graduate of Ossining High
School. In 1994 he graduated
from Nazareth College of
Rochester with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Business
Administration, with a
concentration in Accounting.
As a sophomore, he helped
lead the Golden Flyers to
the 1992 Division III
national championship.
During
his junior and senior
seasons, Nazareth lost in
the national semi-finals. As
a senior, Mariano was one of
the top long-stick
midfielders in the country
and was named an alternate
for the Division III North /
South All-Star game. During
the summer, Mariano is the
Director of the Nike
Lacrosse Camp at Sacred
Heart University, and also
serves on numerous coaching
staffs at lacrosse summer
camps throughout the
Northeast.
Mariano earned his Master's
of Art in Teaching,
specializing in Elementary
Education, at Sacred Heart
in 2000. He and his wife,
Alison and daughters Jordyn
and Ryanne, reside in
Stratford, CT.
