8/5/2020 11:17:00 AM | Men's Lacrosse
Providence, R.I. - The Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches Association Board of Directors recently approved the nominations of the Hall of Fame Committee for the induction class of 2020, including former Brown standout and head coach Dom Starsia '74.
The IMLCA Hall of Fame was unanimously approved by both the Executive Committee and Board of Directors in 2015 with the intent to provide our association the means to honor coaches for their outstanding achievements both on and off the field who have served as great ambassadors of the sport of lacrosse.
Inductees for the 2020 Class include Bruce Allison (Union College, Colorado School of Mines), Ray Rostan (RIT, Ithaca College, Hampden-Sydney College), Dom Starsia (Brown University, University of Virginia), and Don Zimmerman (Johns Hopkins University, UMBC).
Starsia started his lacrosse career at Brown University where he earned high honors such as First Team All-Ivy, All-New England, and Third Team All America. During his senior season in 1974, Starsia helped to captain Brown University's team to the NCAA Playoffs under the tutelage of 2019 IMLCA Hall of Fame inductee, Cliff Stevenson. Following his college career, he continued playing the game at the professional level as well as starting his coaching career at Brown. Starsia was also a member of the 1978 U.S. National Team. After a successful coaching tenure at Brown University with two Ivy-League Championships under his belt, Starsia became the head coach of the University of Virginia Cavaliers in 1993. In his 24 years with the Cavaliers, the team amassed 13 NCAA semifinal appearances, six ACC Tournament Championships, four NCAA National Championship titles, and a perfect season record (2006) - the first in NCAA history.
Over his 42 years of collegiate coaching, Starsia compiled a 329-118 record, gaining him the title of "Winningest Coach in Division I" history. Since his retirement from the college coaching landscape, Starsia has continued to visit, teach, and assist college and youth programs across the country. In 2019, he served as Head Coach of the Chrome, one of the six teams in the Premier Lacrosse League's inaugural season. Coach Starsia is also known as an active educator of the game's Native American roots by continuing to share its history and importance in today's game.
The scheduled venue and date for the 2020 IMLCA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Reception have yet to be finalized due to the current limitations in place for COVID-19 precautions. Event details and further updates will be announced on IMLCA social media channels (@IMLCACoaches) and its website https://www.imlcacoaches.com at a later date.
