Casey D'Annolfo '06





At the helm of one of the best programs in the nation, Mike Daly Head Coach of Men's Lacrosse Casey D'Annolfo just finished his ninth season at Tufts, where he picked up his second national title with the Jumbos in 2025. D'Annolfo has guided the Jumbos to six NESCAC titles during his tenure, while posting an incredible .890 winning percentage (145-18). D'Annolfo is third all-time in winning percentage in Division III men's lacrosse, and continues to add to the program's storied history each season. 

D'Annolfo is also active in the community, as one of the organizations Coach D’Annolfo and the team supports is Bronx Lacrosse, a full-day, year-round academic and sports-based youth development program founded by Tufts alumnus Dan Leventhal that empowers youth on the field and in the classroom. D'Annolfo has coached at the prestigious Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Games since 2012. He kept his connection to Tufts over the years by working at the Jumbo Lacrosse Clinic starting in 2010.
