Head Women's Lacrosse Coach / Asst. Field Hockey Coach
Jen Dragoni enters her third season as the
head women’s lacrosse coach as one of the top young coaches
in the region. In 2008, Dragoni's first season at the helm, she
guided the Spartans to their highest win total in the short history

assisting the head coach in all of the day-to-day aspects of
running the Division III program. She assisted in planning
practice, game strategies, student-athlete recruitment, scouting
opponents, and game-tape breakdown.
Dragoni began her coaching career at the
University of Maryland - Baltimore County as she was an assistant
coach in the spring of 2005. That coaching stint followed a stellar
four-year career for the Retrievers. Dragoni was a four-year
starter at UMBC and was a captain during her senior year. Dragoni
holds the UMBC career assists record with 63 helpers while her 123
goals ranks her seventh on the Retrievers’ all-time list. She
currently sits fifth on UMBC’s career points list with 186. A
three-time first-team All-Northeast Conference selection, Dragoni
was also the 2002 NEC tournament MVP and the 2003 conference
Player-of-the-Year. She was named UMBC’s outstanding female
athlete for the 2003-04 academic year.
