Lacrosse Season Begins With a New Coach
Tony Lepore
Press Release
The Northern Virginia Community College men’s lacrosse team begins its 2012 season on March 4 with a new coach.
Anthony LePore is the new lacrosse head coach. LePore previously coached lacrosse for 10 years at Stonewall Jackson High School in Manassas, where he will continue as a social studies teacher. He has also been involved in numerous other lacrosse activities.
On his appointment, LePore said, “I am very thankful for this opportunity, and I look forward to coaching these student-athletes at the collegiate level. My time coaching at Stonewall was special… However, I am very excited about this next challenge.”
While at Stonewall, LePore’s lacrosse teams won two district championships and earned six regional playoff berths. He coached the school’s first All-Americans and numerous players who went on to play at the NCAA level. The News and Messenger newspaper named LePore its boy’s lacrosse all-area Coach of the Year for 2011.
“We are thrilled to attract a candidate with the credentials of Coach LePore,” said Brian Anweiler, NOVA’s college-wide student activities coordinator. “He is a talented coach with a proven ability to place students at the four-year college level.”
LePore played collegiate lacrosse at The Citadel from 1996 to 1999 and then at State University of New York at Geneseo from 1999 to 2000 while working on a graduate degree in secondary education.
He is originally from Rochester, New York and currently resides in Manassas.
LePore replaces Matt Blarney, NOVA’s first coach who, although having helped start the program, resigned in early August to join Sonoma State University in California as an assistant lacrosse coach.
NOVA will play eight matches this spring, beginning March 4 and ending on April 26. Its first three matches will all be on the road, while the final eight will be played at home locations.
There will be home-and-home matches with the Community College of Baltimore County-Catonsville and Delaware Technical & Community College-Terry. Six of the matches will be against Maryland community college teams.
