Lauren Pacelli is entering her first season as head coach for the Cazenovia College women’s lacrosse program, after serving as an assistant at Norwich University, her alma mater, for two seasons.

While assisting with the Cadets program, Pacelli helped guide the 2008 Norwich team to an 11-5 overall record and the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Championship. That same year, the Cadets also earned a bid to the ECAC New England Region Tournament. In 2009, Pacelli again helped lead the Cadets to the GNAC Championship, where Norwich fell to Emerson.

Also the head coach for women’s soccer at Cazenovia, Pacelli was a two-time National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Northeast Regional All-American during her playing days at Cayuga Community College before heading to Norwich.
