RADNOR, PA - After a historic career with Cabrini University, including an NCAA Championship, 329 career victories and 22 consecutive conference titles, men's lacrosse Head Coach Steve Colfer is stepping down from his post at Cabrini University.
 
Colfer spent 26 seasons at Cabrini, 23 as the head coach. He coached teams to 21 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and has been inducted into the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the United States Lacrosse Hall of Fame. In 2019, his team won Cabrini's first-ever team NCAA Championship.
 
Under Colfer's tenor, the Cabrini head coach produced a phenomenal 92 All-Americans, six Cabrini Hall of Fame Inductees, and three Players of the Year including: Tommy DeLuca (Defense Player of the Year), Jordan Krug (Offensive Player of the Year, and Corey Elmer (Most Outstanding Player in Division III). 
 
It's not just those accolades that set Colfer apart, said Kate Corcoran, Vice President for Athletics and Student Engagement.
 
"For those who know and work with Steve, as I fortunately have been able to do, his integrity and the amazing impact he's had on the lives of countless student-athletes will be the legacy that he leaves at Cabrini," she said. "I know all in the Cabrini family join me in wishing him the very best in the next chapter of his storied career."
 
Colfer's career path is now taking him to the Episcopal Academy, a private academy in nearby Newtown Square, where he will serve as Assistant Athletic Director and Head Boys Lacrosse Coach.
 
"Being the head of the Cabrini men's lacrosse program for the last 23 years has been the experience of a lifetime," said Coach Colfer. It has been the most rewarding experience any coach could have ever hoped for in a coaching career. My love for my current and former players has always been unconditional and will continue to be always. Our success on the field is over-shadowed by the success these young men have had in life and I couldn't be prouder to have been their coach. I want to thank all my players, their families, support staff, and my assistant coaches for their unrelenting dedication to the Cabrini Lacrosse Program. You did something that can never be taken from us. You will be in my heart forever…HARD WORK…be 1-0 today…and I'll see you tomorrow. "


Vice President of Athletics & Student Engagement, Kate Corcoran, has announced that Assistant Coach Tommy DeLuca will be elevated to Head Coach for the final season for Cabrini Lacrosse in 2024.
