Yannarelli, the Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach at Mount Saint Vincent, began his full-time duties on August 1, and will oversee the operational component for 16 varsity athletics programs at the Mount, and the Mount Saint Vincent Athletics facilities as well.

“This is a win-win for our Department and for our varsity athletes as well,” Ingram said. “In Pat Yannarelli, we have a personable and hard-working individual who is going to do a great job in helping to make our athletics contests an event to be enjoyed by participants and spectators alike. This is also a great day for our Men’s Lacrosse program as having Pat in our department on a full-time basis should do wonders for our program.
