Marquette men’s lacrosse coach Joe Amplo worked with many of the most talented lacrosse players in the world over break. He experienced his first run as an assistant coach with the U.S. National Team at the Spring Premiere in Bradenton, Florida.
“It was one of the coolest experiences that I have had as a coach,” Amplo said.
The training camp was highlighted by a scrimmage against the defending NCAA national champions and Marquette’s BIG EAST rival University of Denver. The national team handled the Pioneers, defeating them 22-6, a feat the Golden Eagles are still looking to do for the first time.
