DeLorenzo is no stranger to producing winners. Besides LIU Post, he was part of the 2008 coaching staff at NYIT, who won the NCAA D2 National Championship that year. He also has been involved on the professional level, coaching the Long Island Lizards in 2012, who made it to the semi-final playoffs and produced the MLL Goalie of the Year, Drew Adams.

Bill Harkins Field at the Manley R. Whitcomb Band Complex is an artificial turf with rubber fill field built near the Flying High Circus on Chieftain Way.

Bill Harkins, former head coach of the men’s lacrosse team, donated $350,000 towards the construction of the new field in 2005. Previously the space was a grassy field that often alternated between dusty and muddy.

In addition to Lacrosse, the Florida State University Marching Chiefs also practice there along with the football team, who use it as a practice field in anticipation of stadiums with artificial turf.

The stadium contains bleachers, plenty of parking, and is located in the center of campus.
