COACHING STAFF

Tom Mariano– Head Coach

Tom Mariano joins the Florida Launch as the second head coach in team history. Mariano's experience comes from both the college ranks where he currently serves as head coach of Pace University and the professional level where he served as an assistant coach for the Chesapeake Bayhawks. Prior to joining the Bayhawks, he worked as an assistant coach for the Ohio Machine. In 2015, he led the Pace men's lacrosse team to their first NE-10 Conference Tournament in five years. Before leading the Setters, he had a successful 17 year run as head coach of Sacred Heart University men's lacrosse. As head coach, he led the Pioneers from Division II to Division I as well as overseeing a move from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference to the Colonial Athletic Association, and eventually the Northeast Conference. In 2013, he led Sacred Heart to the NEC playoffs which earned him Coach of the Year honors. Mariano holds a Master’s Degree in Teaching with a concentration in Elementary Education from Sacred Heart University. He graduated from Nazareth College in 1994 with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Business Administration. As a player with Nazareth, he won the 1992 NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse National Championship team. Chris Burdick – Assistant Coach

Burdick joins the Launch to serve as Mariano's top assistant. Coach Burdick currently serves as an assistant for the University of Tampa men's lacrosse program. In his stint with UT, he has helped the Spartans to three consecutive Sunshine State Conference championships since the league added lacrosse in 2013. Prior to UT, Burdick served as head coach of Providence College men’s lacrosse program for 14 seasons (1999-2012). After 11 seasons of play in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, he oversaw the transition into the Big East Conference. While in the MAAC, he earned the distinction as the most decorated coach in conference history with more championship teams than any other coach. Under Burdick’s tenure, the Friars qualified for nine straight trips to the conference tournament (2001-09), won four regular season titles (2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008), and claimed the MAAC Championship three times (2004, 2006, and 2007). Before Providence, Burdick served as an assistant for Notre Dame, Delaware, UMass, and Cornell. Outside of coaching, Burdick has served as the

president of the MAAC Lacrosse Coaches’ Association and has been a member of the regional advisory committee for NCAA tournament selection.

Brian Duncan – Assistant Coach

Coach Duncan currently serves as head coach of Flagler College men’s lacrosse club. Prior to joining the Saints, Duncan served as offensive coordinator for Division II Florida Tech men’s lacrosse program. At FIT, he helped the team to a 12-4 record as they finished ranked 15th overall in the USILA coach’s poll. The Panthers reached the Sunshine State Conference tournament and championship game for the first time in school history. FIT boasted seven all-conference players after their historic run. Before joining FIT, Duncan served as head coach and director of all lacrosse programs at the Bolles School in Jacksonville, FL. The Bulldogs were 18-16 under Duncan’s direction as they earned two District Championships with 10 players making the 1st All-District team. Previously, he spent three seasons at Jacksonville University as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator for the startup program. In just the second year of the program, the Dolphins made the MAAC Final Four in their first year of competitive play. In his longest tenured position, Duncan spent 10 years with the Community College of Baltimore County – Essex. At CCBC, he worked as an assistant coach and recruiter and then transitioned into head coach for the second half of his run. Under Duncan’s leadership, the Knights won the NJCAA National Championship in 2004. His title run earned him NJCAA National Coach of the Year honors. As a player, Duncan was a midfielder for the University of Maryland, Baltimore County from 1989-92. He posted 36 goals and 19 assists during his career and was drafted into professional indoor lacrosse.

SETTING THE SCENE: After sweeping the Rochester Rattlers on the road, the Florida Launch (2-2) continue their three-game road trip at Fortress Obetz to take on the Ohio Machine (2-2). The Launch hope to maintain momentum against the Machine, who are currently 0-2 on their home turf. This weekend’s game marks the return of the Launch’s all-time leading point scorer Kieran McArdle, who tallied a team-high 56 points last season (37G, 19A). McArdle’s reappearance on the roster brings a highly anticipated energy the Launch have been looking for this season. This Sunday’s MLL Collegiate Draft hopes to be a big game changer for the Launch, who hold four of the top 10 picks including the first overall selection. Coach Tom Mariano hopes to bring in more versatility to an already solid roster. “I think we look at this draft as the ability to add some juice a little bit, some young legs, some life, some energy, and a little extra pop,” said Mariano. “We like our team now. We like what we’re doing. The draft can give us some depth and some versatility that we have a little bit, but we don’t have enough right now.” NAMES TO KNOW: Chazz Woodson:

2016 OVERVIEW: The Launch are proud to have had four 2016 MLL All-Stars. Kieran McArdle, Chris Mattes, Tucker Durkin, and Connor Buczek all played in the All-Star Game July 9 in Fullerton, California. McArdle recorded 4 goals and an assist. Tucker Durkin was named to the All-MLL team for the fourth time in his career after another strong showing in 2016. COACHING CHANGES: After a 3-11 season, the Launch brought in former Chesapeake Bayhawks and Ohio Machine assistant Tom Mariano as head coach. Mariano is the second coach in team history. His assistants are experienced college and pro coaches Chris Burdick and Brian Duncan. Matt Dugan serves as the first Director of Player Analytics in team history. ADDING DRAFTEES: This offseason, the Launch aimed to add depth to their roster, starting at the face-off. With the first overall pick in the 2017 draft, the Launch selected Will Gural, Brown University’s top faceoff specialist. After an impressive senior season at Brown, Gural finished his collegiate career with the highest faceoff win percentage of all seniors in NCAA Division 1 play. Gural was also a critical player in the Bears’ NCAA Playoff run, helping lead them to the Semifinals where they ultimately fell to Maryland in overtime. After playing for the Boston Cannons and Atlanta Blaze during the 2016 season, the Launch drafted Greg Melaugh and Martin Bowes as the 10th and 11th overall picks, respectively. Both Melaugh and Bowes are MLL veterans, with an accumulated eight years of experience between the two. 2017 BY THE NUMBERS
