Tufts Men’s Lacrosse: Going Offsides

The Jumbos are a wagon and have been for years now. This week, Tufts men’s lacrosse head coach Casey D’Annolfo joins the pod.

Casey D’Annolfo of Tufts Men’s Lacrosse – Going Offsides

When you think of DIII lacrosse, Tufts is one of the first names that comes to mind. Maybe it’s because you’ve seen one of its fantastic documentary style videos, or you saw the team play in three-straight national championships from 2014-2016, winning two of them.

Coaching transition

The program rose to prominence under head coach Mike Daly, who left the program at the end of the 2016 season to pursue a DI coaching opportunity at Brown, a position he holds to this day. Enter new head coach Casey D’Annolfo. Coach Casey is a Tufts alum (2002-06) who lettered four times in football and lacrosse and managed to squeeze in a letter in basketball his junior year. Being an alum certainly gives you an advantage when applying for the job, a job that if you ask him, he’ll tell you he wasn’t sure he should apply for.

“I kept calling other alums who were in the coaching profession and asked, ‘You’re applying right?’” D’Annolfo remembered. “And they would respond, ‘No, but you should.’”

After having that same conversation a few different times, the then Taft School head coach decided it was time to apply. After a six-week process, he eventually accepted what was the most prestigious job in DIII.

New Coach Same Program

When you take over a lacrosse program like Tufts, one that had just been in three-straight national championships, there is a lot of pressure to keep things the way they are.

I asked Casey how he managed to do this while adding in his own coaching style and philosophies, and the answer was more or less patience. He understood he couldn’t come in and change everything. Why would you want to? Instead, he knew it would take time to develop trust from the team, to slowly implement change, to take the best from the previous regime while still being true to himself.

This was an excellent conversation from one of the great coaches in our game, and I truly hope you take the time to listen in. You’ll also hear about playing against DI Dartmouth, DIII recruiting, and what makes Tufts such a great school.

Tufts Dye Tutorial – Lacrosse Playground

In honor of the 2010 Division III National Champion Tufts Jumbos, I dyed this head as a gift to their coach. The alumnus that approached me had an idea for a head that would stand as a memorial to this year’s team. We began with a lot of information, and it took a bit of time to figure out exactly what would and wouldn’t fit on the head. The finished product includes all of the coaches, captains, All-Americans, and the year’s motto as well as the Jumbo’s logo. For this job, I had a print shop cut out the designs for me, and it was up to me to size them and place them properly. It turned out to be one of the most informative dye jobs I’ve ever done.

To begin, I printed off several different sizes and shapes of the font, and lined them up along the head to see what would fit without going over the edges. I used a back light to make sure nothing hung over. When I got the exact sizes I wanted, I started to work on the logo. I had to separate the logo according to each of the colors in it. This way, I could dye them one at a time. White, grey, and light blue were all put down before the final coat of brown, making it a complex logo to align using stickers.

I put down the tusks, then dyed the throat grey. After this, I put down the parts of the elephant that would remain grey before using RIT color remover. This lightened the head for the next coat of blue. I wanted to make sure the light blue wasn’t affected by the grey. After the blue was on, I put on the overall outline of the Jumbo, leaving everything inside protected for the final color brown.

For the rest of the head, I cut each name into strips, and used the application tape to help lay down each one. After I lined them up in the light, I carefully tapped each one down, and then mashed them with a smooth pen to make sure they held. I tried to leave on the application tape to protect them while I finished them all. For the scoop, I put down the “National Champions” part while the head was still white. I did the same for the “One More” motto on the front of the head.

When all stickers had been laid down and triple checked, I went to work on the brown. I found that using the vinyl stickers can be tricky if they aren’t electrical tape. TO make sure the adhesive held, I boiled the water, then took it off of heat and poured it into my dye bucket. This makes sure that the stickers don’t get overheated. It might take a bit longer to get the color I want, but it’ll be worth it.

When I finally have the final brown just right, I take it out and rinse it in warm water. I used to use cold water, but I think it’s better for the plastic if you keep it away from drastic temperature changes as much as possible throughout the process.

Peeling all the letters takes a bit, but just use your fingernails and scrape in long lines. You can go back later with Goo Gone to clean it up.

That’s it! Congratulations to the Jumbos for a season well done. Stay tuned this holiday season, I have a ton of stuff I’ve been working on, and it will all be posted soon. Until next time, have a good one.

Salisbury Falls, New No. 1 in Nike / US Lacrosse Division III Men’s Top 20

Division III men’s lacrosse is slowly inching back this spring, with several teams already getting a handful of games in.

Given the state of the world, conferences are at different stages all around the country. The Centennial Conference and Liberty League both recently announced plans for spring sports to return to competition, while everyone’s waiting for a call from the NESCAC.

We’ve kept NESCAC teams included for the time being, and you’ll notice that Tufts now holds the No. 1 spot nationally after Salisbury got knocked off by Lynchburg. The outlook could change if Tufts and other NESCACs miss out on a second straight season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Jumbos, without question, are a national title contender year in and year out.

Here’s an early look at how the country’s D-III landscape is shaping up. Things are still stuck in first gear, to some degree, but the accelerant isn’t too far away.

HOT

Lynchburg (+10)

The Hornets are coming off a two-win weekend that included a headline-grabbing result Saturday, as they knocked off undisputed No. 1 Salisbury by a 10-8 scoreline. Consider that a statement result from the seven-time ODAC champions, a program that’s benefited from a whopping 20 goal-scorers so far this spring.

Lynchburg has hit the 20-goal mark twice this season, including Sunday’s 20-9 win over St. Mary’s (Md.). But it’s undoubtedly the Salisbury victory that’s turned heads nationally.

York (+2)

The Spartans opened Saturday with a dominant 19-3 victory over Wilkes, led by a combined seven goals from Will Harnick and Gavin Dembeck. They also got a resounding performance from Vinny Facciponti at the faceoff X (15-for-18) and went 19-for-21 on clears, marking a great return for a perennial top-10 side.

Alongside Stevenson, York is expected to challenge for the MAC Commonwealth crown. The Spartans made five NCAA tournaments from 2014-19.

Christopher Newport (+2)

Last weekend involved some CNU history, as Dylan Rice reached 130 career goals in a 17-6 win over Roanoke, setting a program record. The senior attackman is a two-time All-American who’s also on 176 points for his career.

The Cavaliers have rattled off three wins to start the spring, also previously beating Hampden-Sydney (16-10) and Southern Virginia (16-6). On its day, CNU’s offense can score in bunches.

NOT

Salisbury (-3)

It’s only one game, so there’s no need to overreact or draw broad-sweeping conclusions from the Sea Gulls dropping a 10-8 decision to Lynchburg over the weekend. They were without faceoff specialist Brett Malamphy, most notably, so that takes a toll.

With an offense that’s stacked behind Cross Ferrara, Josh Melton, Jarrett Bromwell and Griffin Moroney, odds are Salisbuy will roar back with a vengeance. This year’s team simply has too much quality for a dramatic dip in results.

Westfield (NJ) defender Kaplan set on Tufts lacrosse

Two of the leading players in the Westfield High School (N.J.) varsity program will both be headed to top-notch Division III programs.

If you were with us today at Twitter.com/Joe_Lombardi, you learning of the commitments of rising seniors Patrick Decker to Gettysburg and Jake Kaplan to Tufts.

Decker is a midfielder. Kaplan is a tenacious defender who is strongly off the ball.

Now, here’s a Q&A with Jake on his commitment.

What were the main factors in your decision to commit to Tufts?
I wanted to be able to go to a high academic institution while being able to compete for a national championship. Tufts, I feel, is the best program in the NESCAC, and one of, if not the best in the country.

Tufts will challenge me academically but will help me be successful later on in life, since it’s such a great school. I felt comfortable around (Tufts Head) Coach (Mike) Daly, (Assistant Coach Sean) Kerwin and (Assistant Coach Taylor) Harris, and I love the location right outside Boston.

Also, 5,000 undergraduates is a perfect size.

What other schools were you considering and what schools did you visit?
I considered and visited Williams, Washington & Lee, Dickinson and Gettysburg. I also considered Amherst, Middlebury and Bowdoin.

What are your strengths as a player and how would you describe your style of play?
Using my feet to turn kids at GLE (goal-line extended) or forcing them out and away from the cage if they get above GLE.

I feel that I am good staying on the attackman’s hands when he’s dodging and using that to put the ball on the ground or to force him to make a bad pass. Also, I feel that I am a strong off-ball defender and I communicate well.

How did you get introduced to lacrosse and what other sports have you played?
In seventh grade my best friend and family friend’s dad convinced me to pick up a stick. From there, everyday after school, my friends and I would shoot and throw around.

I played basketball and soccer in middle school but choose to focus on lacrosse in high school.

What travel team do you play on and what showcase events have you been in and which ones do you plan on attending?
This past fall, I went to Jake Reed Nike Blue Chip and National Invite 175.

This summer individually, I attended the Prep School Showcase and NYLA, MVP, National Invite Best of the Best and FLG in 3D with Building Blocks Elite.

Women’s Lacrosse Hosts Tufts on Beautiful Spring Day

Next Game:

Bates College

4/18/2021 | 2:00 PM

Waterville, Maine – The Colby Women’s Lacrosse team took on the #2 ranked Jumbos Saturday, falling just short 18-12. While the 6-goal deficit might seem like significant separation, the numbers don’t tell the whole story.

“We played well, really well,” said head coach Karen Henning. “Tufts has such an experienced group, traditionally ranked near the top every year, and their last lacrosse experience was a trip to the final four. Our group doesn’t have that same experience, but you wouldn’t know it by watching how we played. We didn’t back down, and instead stepped up to the challenge on defense, on offense. I am really proud of the team and the physical game we played.”

The first half was highly competitive, with both teams trading goals back and forth. Colby used a variety of attacks, feeding the middle, driving from the top, and even a crease roll through traffic. The five first-half goals were scored by four different attackers. On defense, the Mules certainly played a physical, high-pressure defense, with good slides and crashes to ball in the middle of the 8-meter arc. The aggressive style also led to five free-position shots for the Jumbos, two of which found their way into the back of the net. Tufts held a three-goal lead at the end of the first half.

#24 Annie Eddy ’23 The second period began with a Tufts fast break downfield, resulting in a 3 v 2 goal. The second half saw more 1 v 1 goals by Colby, with the attack drawing defenders away in an offensive stack. After a Tufts goal was called off due to a pocket depth violation, Colby turned the ball up-field and senior attacker Robyn Pirie (17) scored off of a crease roll. Two goals scored by sophomore attacker Annie Eddy (24) brought her total to three for the game, giving her a hat trick in both of her games to start the 2021 season. Defensively, Colby continued to play a physical high-pressure style, again resulting in free-position shots for Tufts, Three of Tufts’ second half goals came in this fashion. Notably, senior goalie Hannah Marino (55) saved two quick succession free-positions and ended with a total of 10 saves in the game.

Tufts played a physical man-to-man defense as well, also creating many 8-meter free-position shots for Colby. Eight different players scored for the Jumbos, with senior attacker Catherine Lawliss (17) scoring five. The Tufts attack unit scored on a combination of free-position shots, feeds to the middle, and man-up fast breaks. Junior goalie Molly Laliberty (32) was stellar early on, and put up an impressive 12 saves against Colby.

Next Game: Colby will play host to the Bates Bobcats at home on Saturday, April 17 at 1 pm.
