Sources: Virginia Lacrosse Coach Dom Starsia’s Contract Will Not Be Renewed
Sources: Virginia Coach Dom Starsia’s Contract Will Not Be Renewed
Terry Foy May 17, 2016
Dom Starsia will not return as Virginia’s head coach for the 2017 season, multiple sources have told Inside Lacrosse. Additionally, an email circulating among the Virginia Lacrosse Alumni Network stated that his "contract will not be renewed and he will not coach the team next year."
The Cavaliers finished 7-8 this season, and Starsia’s five year deal runs through January 2017.
When reached for confirmation, a spokesman for Virginia athletics referred to AD Craig Littlepage's statement to the Charlottesville Daily Progress from last week, which said: "We evaluate our coaches and sport programs on an ongoing basis. One of the goals for the Department of Athletics is to win conference and national championships and our program has won 3 ACC and 3 NCAA championships since 2003. In recent years we haven't played at a championship level so we're now in the process of determining what's necessary for our men's lacrosse program to be successful and reach our desired goals.”
Starsia just finished his 24th season leading the Cavaliers, compiling a record of 274-103 in Charlottesville. He won four national championships, advanced to the final four 13 times and qualified for the NCAA Tournament 21 times.
