Cassese Takes the Helm: Virginia Lacrosse Names 18th Head Coach
Kevin Cassese has been promoted to Virginia’s 18th head men’s lacrosse coach, taking over after serving as associate head coach and offensive coordinator. The Cavaliers, coming off an ACC title and a 10-7 record in 2026, emphasize roster retention, staff development, and continued pursuit of a national championship, building on Cassese’s Duke and Lehigh background and his ties to Lars Tiffany. Captains and players expressed strong support for the transition as UVA looks to maintain momentum in the ACC and beyond.
