Northborough, Mass. - Coming off it's second consecutive National Championship game appearance, the Adelphi University women's lacrosse staff has been named the East Region Coaching Staff of the Year, announced by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association on Wednesday. 

Pat McCabe, Associate Head Coach Frankie Caridi, and assistants Danielle Marino, and Kelly-Ann McGrath led the Panthers to their second straight NCAA Division II Championship appearance and the program's 12th trip to the title game. Along the way, Adelphi posted a 19-4 record, and ended the season ranked No.2 in the final IWLCA Division II Poll.

Additionally, the Cats took a share of the Northeast 10 Conference regular season crown and won the program's eighth NE10 championship (first in eight years). Five Panthers garnered IWLCA All-Region honors and three took home All-American accolades, while Amanda Lee, Sonny Lionetti and Ashley Kolomechuk earned inclusion on the NCAA All-Championship Team.

All winners will be honored at the IWLCA Convention which is set to take place this November at the Tradewinds Resort in St. Pete Beach, FL.
