NICOLE PERRONI NAMED COLGATE WOMEN'S LACROSSE ASSISTANT COACH
If we asked you where Colgate University was located, about half of our readership would proudly point across the river and tell us Southern Indiana , where the big Colgate-Palmolive clock is that faces Louisville. Nice try, but the school is located in Hamilton, NY...about a 100 miles away from Rohester, NY. Saratoga Race Track and 160 miles away from Newark, NJ.
The small (pop. 3500) liberal arts university in Hamilton is Colgate...a member of the Patriot League and the newest home for Cardinals LAX great Nicole Perroni. "Ol 88" scored 142 goals in 71 games in her four years playing for the Cards.It's her first coaching gig and it'll be kinda strange not to see Nicole running the turf down on Floyd Street this spring. .
She was the first staff hireand will serve as an assistant for new Colgate head coach Alyssa Guido. Guid said this about the hire of Perroni:
"I'm extremely excited to have Nicole on the staff. Adding her knowlege from her DI days and international experience will add a unique dynamic to the players and the staff."
Colgate looks to improve over their 2024 season, where they went 3-14 overall and finshed in a four way tie for fifth place in the 10 team Patriot League conference.
At Louisville her senior year, Perroni was named to the All-ACC squad, She also received second team All-American honors,and IWLCA All-region first team accolades.
We contacted, Louisville head LAX coach Scott Teeter about the hire by Colgate...His comments:.."She will do fantastic. I'm very proud of her. Colgate got a good one." .

No doubt how important Perroni was to this team, but the Nakazawa sisters were just as important.
