Taylor Lanzillo was named head coach of the Sweet Briar lacrosse program on July 14th, 2026.

Lanzillo joined the Vixens after serving as head men's lacrosse coach at Earlham College.

During his three seasons at Earlham, Lanzillo guided the program through its most successful stretch in school history, earning Heartland Collegiate Lacrosse Conference (HCLC) Coach of the Year honors in 2025. When he accepted the position, the program had just 11 student-athletes on its roster. Through a relentless commitment to recruiting and relationship-building, he increased the roster to 18 players in just one year while steadily improving the team's competitiveness.

On the field, Lanzillo coached three First Team All-HCLC selections and nine Second Team All-HCLC honorees. He also coached Robert Gift, who rewrote the Earlham record book by setting new career records for goals, assists, and total points. In just his second season, Earlham's defense ranked among the top 25 NCAA Division III programs nationally in goals allowed per game.

Prior to Earlham, Lanzillo served as a graduate assistant coach at North Greenville University, where he assisted with recruiting, practice planning, player development, scouting, academic support, and team culture initiatives. A former student-athlete at North Greenville, he played short-stick defensive midfield and served as team captain during his senior season.

Lanzillo's passion for building programs began long before his collegiate coaching career. He helped establish the lacrosse program at Haddon Township High School in New Jersey, contributing to the growth of boys' and girls' varsity and junior varsity teams, as well as multiple youth programs. He also coached with the Greenville Riverhawks club program, where he focused on player development, practice planning, and helping athletes reach the collegiate level.

Lanzillo earned his bachelor's degree in sport management with an emphasis in coaching from North Greenville University in 2020 before completing his Master of Business Administration at North Greenville in 2021.
