Adelphi University Athletics

Ricciardi roamed the grass of Stiles Field during his time at Adelphi, playing four years in goal for the men's lacrosse team. In that time Ricciardi earned two All-America honors, was honored with the Kitay-Laughlin award as the Panthers most outstanding defensive player and was selected as the Martin Head Memorial Award winner. However, his most prestigious honor came off the field; he was the first University student-athlete bestowed a NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
