Syracuse Lacrosse: Dom Starsia's Departure Sets a New Tone

It was reported on Tuesday by Inside Lacrosse that the Virginia Cavaliers Head Coach Dom Starsia will not return to UVA. Starsia won four National Championships in Charlottesville, VA, and finishes with a 274-103 record at UVA. The Cavaliers last won a title in 2011, but have not won an ACC game since April 26, 2014 and have not won an ACC regular season game since beating Syracuse on March 1, 2014. Just as eye raising, the Cavaliers have two losing seasons since that 2011 Championship run.

If we were to rank the top, active, NCAA lacrosse coaches based on resumes, I would certainly give Starsia consideration to be in that top five.
