ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH Joe Amplo Joe Amplo is in his third season as the associate head coach of the men’s lacrosse program and his 11th year overall on the Pride staff. Amplo, a four-year letterman at Hofstra from 1996 through 1999, was an assistant coach from 1999 to 2001 before returning to Long Island in the fall of 2002 after one year as an assistant coach at Pennsylvania. Amplo, who was named associate head coach in August 2008, began his college coaching career in the fall of 1999 as a defensive specialist with the Hofstra midfielders. He served two seasons as an assistant coach under then-coach John Danowski, with the Pride advancing to the NCAA Championship both years. In 2001 Amplo left Hofstra for Penn, where the Quakers posted their best record in 13 years, recording the program’s first winning season and first nine-win campaign since 1989, going 9-4 overall and 3-3 in the Ivy League during the 2002 season. Since his return to Hofstra in 2003, the Pride has posted a 76-49 record and advanced to five NCAA Championships, including the quarterfinals in 2006. During his Hofstra tenure, Amplo has had a hand in coaching 53 all-conference players, including five conference players of the year, four rookies of the year, as well as 21 All-Americans.
