GAME 1

Amanda O’Leary, an experienced coach who played the sport at its highest level, finished her seventh season at the helm of the Florida Gators with the program’s sixth NCAA Tournament bid. O’Leary has turned her team into a national powerhouse since its inception in 2010.

Hired to lead Florida’s inaugural lacrosse team on June 22, 2007, O’Leary had the opportunity to recruit and organize the program before the Gators began competition in the 2010 season.

Her impressive career record of 276-94 (.746) ranks among the best of active head coaches in the nation. In just seven seasons, she has taken Florida to a NCAA Final Four, four NCAA quarterfinal appearances, two BIG EAST regular season, two BIG EAST tournament titles, four American Lacrosse Conference regular season titles and two ALC tournament championships. She’s also coached 12 Gators who have earned 46 All-America honors, four Tewaaraton Award finalists and two Honda Sports Award nominees.

Florida continued its dominance under Coach O’Leary in 2016. The Gators tore through BIG EAST play, winning the regular season title for a second-straight year after earning a perfect 7-0 record. The Gators also won the BIG EAST Tournament for a second-consecutive season after defeating Temple in the championship game. During the course of the season, Florida defeated eventual national champion, and No. 2-ranked North Carolina on the road at Chapel Hill. UF also prevailed over No. 2 Syracuse in overtime at Syracuse less than two weeks later. The Orange and Blue entered the NCAA tournament with an 18-1 record, and lost a thriller to Penn State in the first round, 13-14, to finish the season 18-2. The Gators saw four players earn five All-American honors, including the Inside Lacrosse National Rookie of the Year, Lindsey Ronbeck. Florida also had seven players named to All-BIG EAST teams, and Nicole Graziano became UF’s fourth-ever Tewaaraton Award Finalist.

After five years in the ALC, the Gators found themselves in a new conference in 2015: The BIG EAST. Just as they had done in their old conference, the Gators continued their winning ways. Florida earned a tie with Georgetown for the regular season title, but blew away the competition in the BIG EAST Tournament. In the tournament, Florida’s 24-point scoring margin over the two day tournament was the best mark in BIG EAST Tournament history. O’Leary and her Gators qualified for their fifth-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2015 and the sixth-year coach led her team to a 15-10 win over Stanford in the first round. In the second round, Florida’s national championship aspirations were cut short by the second-seeded North Carolina Tar Heels. Florida saw a conference-leading eight members be named to the All-BIG EAST teams and senior midfielder Shannon Gilroy was named BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year along with a Tewaaraton Finalist for a second-straight year.

The 2014 season proved that the Florida Gators didn’t need to rebuild, they just reloaded. After graduating a 13-member founding class in 2013, everyone expected Florida to take a step back and rebuild. The Gators returned three starters and had a roster featuring 22 underclassmen. After an eye-opening loss at No. 1 North Carolina to start the season, Florida banded together and embarked on an 18-3 season that featured a sweep of the ALC regular season and tournament titles as well as a trip to the NCAA Quarterfinals. The Gators finished the season ranked second nationally in scoring offense (15.00 goals per game), fourth in scoring margin (6.57) and fifth in points (412) and draw controls (15.14 per game). Individually, Tewaaraton finalist Shannon Gilroy led the nation with 86 goals and became the first Florida player in program history to score 100+ points in a season. O’Leary was named the ILWomen Coach of the Year for the first time in her 20-year coaching career, and the ALC Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season and third overall. Shannon Gilroy was named the ALC Midfield Player of the Year and Sammi Burgess picked up ALC Rookie of the Year honors. Gilroy was also named the ALC Tournament MVP and the Gators placed four on the All-Tournament Team.

In just its second year of competition, the Florida lacrosse team reached as high as a No. 2 national ranking, won 14 consecutive games, accomplished an undefeated 11-0 home season, won the regular-season conference title outright, had six All-ALC honors, eight ALC weekly honors, six National Player of the Week recognitions, six All-America honors and, under O’Leary’s watchful eye, had Kitty Cullen honored as the ALC Player of the Year and nominated for the Tewaaraton Award as only a sophomore. Following the 2011 season, O’Leary was named ALC Coach of the Year and IWLCA South Region Coach of the Year. The Gators defeated seven ranked opponents in 2011, including eventual 2011 NCAA Champion, Northwestern, and 2010 national semifinalist, Syracuse. On April 14, Florida defeated then-No. 2 Northwestern, the six-time National Champions, handing the Wildcats their first ALC regular season loss in seven years.

O’Leary came to UF from Yale, where she led the Bulldogs for 14 seasons. Yale set the school record for season wins with 14 in O’Leary’s second year (1995) and twice equaled that mark (1999 and 2003). She took Yale to two of its three NCAA Championship appearances, as the Bulldogs reached the 2003 quarterfinal round and the 2007 opening round.

During her playing career, O’Leary was a four-year starter for Temple’s lacrosse and field hockey teams. A two-time All-American in both sports, O’Leary led the Owl’s lacrosse team to a 19-0 record and the national championship in 1988. O’Leary was the Midfielder of the Year selection for the NCAA All-Tournament teams in 1987 and 1988 as well as the NCAA Most Valuable Player in 1988. Lacrosse Magazine also selected her as its 1988 Player of the Year.

In 2005, O’Leary was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. She also became a member of the Temple Owls’ Hall of Fame in the fall of 2004. O’Leary was named to the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse 25th Anniversary Team in the fall of 2006.

She was the youngest player and starter on the 1989 U.S. World Cup team that claimed the International Federation of Women’s Lacrosse Association (IFWLA) gold medal in Perth, Australia. O’Leary was the second-leading scorer on the 1993 U.S. World Cup team which repeated as the IFWLA World Cup champions in Edinburgh, Scotland. In the 1993 World Cup, O’Leary scored 17 points, including the game-winner versus Australia in the semifinal game.

O’Leary has also served as the chair of the U.S. Team selection and on the former U.S. Women’s Lacrosse Association (USWLA) Board of Directors. She was an assistant coach with the U.S. Women’s Developmental Team from 2002-05 and has been a member of the Connecticut Lacrosse Foundation Executive Committee since 1993.

GAME 1

Taryn VanThof enters her first season as an assistant coach at the University of Florida and will work with the Gators’ midfielders. A three-time IWLCA All-American midfielder at Loyola University Maryland and a US Lacrosse National Team member, VanThof joins the Florida coaching staff following one season as an assistant coach at Rutgers.

In Rutgers’ third season in the Big Ten Conference, VanThof helped guide the Scarlet Knights to a second straight conference tournament semifinal game and the program’s first conference tourney win since 1998. Rutgers notched two ranked wins last season – both against Ohio State – with VanThof on staff.

VanThof, who was a part of history when she was drafted to the Long Island Sound (UWLX), helped pave the way as the Sound captured the inaugural UWLC Championship Trophy at the end of July. Just a week later, VanThof was named to the 36 member US Lacrosse National Team leading into the World Cup next summer in England.

A decorated NCAA athlete with the Greyhounds, VanThof earned IWLCA Third Team All-America honors from 2013-15. The midfield standout racked up 160 points -- 108 goals and 52 assists -- in her career, also

accumulating 127 ground balls and a staggering 318 draw controls. VanThof owns the single-season (122) and career (318) Loyola University Maryland draw control records.

A three-time all-conference selection (BIG EAST ’13, Patriot League ’14, ’15), VanThof helped Loyola to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2015, and in her final season, VanThof tallied a career-best 53 points (30g, 23a), including two game-winning goals. The Greyhounds advanced to at least the second round of the NCAA Tournament in all four years of VanThof’s playing career, also making a quarterfinal run during her redshirt season in 2012.

Along with her success on the field, VanThof dedicated her time on the coaching front throughout her playing career. While with the Greyhounds, the Livonia, N.Y., native spent time as a coach and player coach with Seven Lacrosse Training (Baltimore, Md.), C2 Lacrosse (Baltimore, Md.), Lady Roc Lacrosse Inc. (East Rochester, N.Y.), and Maximum Exposure Lacrosse Company.

VanThof was selected by the Greyhounds’ coaching staff to represent the program on the Jeff Jansen Leadership Academy, where she honed her leadership skills with a variety of training sessions and activities. She graduated from Loyola University Maryland in 2015 with a bachelor’s in business administration, earning a double specialization in management and marketing.

Crysti Foote enters her second season as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the defending BIG EAST Champion Gators after serving four seasons as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at the University of Louisville.

In 2016, Foote helped Florida to an 18-2 record as well as bringing in the top-two recruits in the 2016 class, Lindsey Ronbeck and Sydney Pirreca.

A 2006 graduate of Notre Dame, Foote was a two-time All-American and capped off her senior season with IWLCA First Team All-America honors and IWLCA Attack Player of the Year accolades. Foote was a finalist for lacrosse’s highest honor, the Tewaaraton Trophy, in 2006 and was the BIG EAST Attack Player of the Year. She guided Team Canada to a bronze medal in the 2009 World Cup and a silver medal in the 2013 World Cup.

Foote, who has a reputation for quality player development, has coached at all levels including high school and club, while she additionally has DIII and Ivy League experience at Drew and Columbia, respectively. Foote returned to her alma mater Notre Dame for the 2010-11 season before her last stand at Louisville the past four years.

In just Louisville’s sixth season in the BIG EAST in 2014, Foote’s offense helped guide the Cardinals to an undefeated 7-0 record in conference play to win both the regular season and conference tournament championships. Louisville became the first team in league history to sweep all four major awards. Foote then helped the Cardinals transition to the ACC in 2015.

While at Louisville, Foote tutored multiple-time All-American Nikki Boltja, while the Cardinals scoring offense ranked No. 8 in the country in 2013. Prior to Louisville during her stint at Notre Dame, Foote assisted in guiding the Fighting Irish to the BIG EAST Championship Game, while ND’s attackers ranked in the top 25 in the nation in both points and scoring margin in 2011.

Foote comes from a family with deep lacrosse roots, as her father William is a member of the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame and is a former indoor professional player

Foote married Kyle Stratton in August, 2014.
