Wednesday, June 22, 2016
Brown Lacrosse coach Lars Tiffany has been named the head coach of the Virginia men's lacrosse team, Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage announced on Tuesday. Tiffany will replace legendary lacrosse coach Dom Starsia as the 17th head coach in Virginia lacrosse history.
“I’m excited to welcome Lars Tiffany to Charlottesville and the University of Virginia to lead our men’s lacrosse program. Lars is one of the country’s more innovative coaches. His program is based on the development of young men as student-athletes and pushing them to excel in the classroom, in the community, and in competition. This foundation, combined with an aggressive and attacking style of play at both ends of the field, has proven to be successful over the course of his coaching career. His vision for our program to annually compete for championships and achieve high academic performance is in alignment with our goals of Uncompromised Excellence," said Littlepage.
