Returning to the Saints for his second year as Defensive Coordinator and assistant coach, Dan Patrone brings with him a wealth of lacrosse experience. Patrone helped the Saints achieve the lowest goals against average in school history, giving up 8.8 goals per game. His defensive players earned two All-CCLA honors and 5 All-WHAC honors in the 2015 season. This summer Coach Patrone was selected to compete on the Hungarian National Lacrosse team, which will play against other European teams at the New Year’s Cup in Budapest this winter.  Before Aquinas, Patrone coached at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, Wilmington College in Ohio, and Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. Patrone was a three year varsity player at Hamburg High School in New York, where he was a captain, two-time All-Conference defender and team defensive MVP.
