Steve Grossi, who played for Princeton head coach Chris Bates at Drexel and who has led St. Joe's to back-to-back top six finishes in Division I in scoring defense, is in his first year as defensive coordinator for the Princeton men's lacrosse team.
Grossi spent the last three years as the defensive coordinator at St. Joe's, which went 6-0 in the Northeast Conference regular season each of the last two years. Grossi's defense ranked fifth in scoring defense in 2015 and sixth in 2014, and the Hawks allowed just 7.65 goals per game this past year.
In addition, St. Joe's led all of Division I in man down defense in both 2014 and 2015 and was 10th in Division I in caused turnovers in 2015.
Grossi, a business major, graduated from Drexel in 2009 after playing for Bates for four seasons, all of which ended when Grossi earned All-CAA honors as a longstick midfielder, including first-team honors as a junior and senior. He was also a two-time captain, a Tewaaraton watch list nominee and the team MVP his senior year.
Grossi also played professionally with the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League. He is completing his master's degree in organization, development and leadership.
He also spent two years as an assistant coach at Division III Hampton-Sydney in Virginia.
