In his four-year college career, Princeton won its first two NCAA tournament Championships, two Ivy League Championships and earned four NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament invitations.

Background

Scott Bacigalupo was a high school All-American at St. Paul's of Brooklandville, Maryland.[3]

College career

Bacigalupo started all 60 of Princeton's games during his career from 1991 to 1994. During those four years, Princeton posted a 52–8 record,[3] including a 7–2 record in four NCAA tournament appearances.[4] On five different occasions he recorded 15 or more saves in a NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament game, and the Tigers won the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship in both 1992 and 1994.[3] The 1992 and 1993 teams were undefeated 6–0 outright Ivy League champions.[5][6]

Bacigalupo will be inducted into the Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame on October 30, 2010.[3] He is a three time winner of the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award (1992, 1993, 1994) as the NCAA's best goaltender and a former Lt. Raymond Enners Award-winner (1994) as the NCAA Division I lacrosse player of the year.[7] He was a first team USILA All-American Team selection in 1992, 1993, and 1994 and a second team selection in 1991.[8][9][10][11] In addition, he was a 1994 USILA Scholar All-American.[7] He was first team all-Ivy League in 1991, 1992 and 1993 and a second team selection in 1994.[3][12] His 732 career saves are 122 more than any other Princeton goaltender.[3] Lacrosse Magazine named him to its All-Century team and he participated in the 1994 North/South All-Star Game.[3][13]

During the 1992 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship game against Syracuse, Bacigalupo allowed Syracuse to tie the score when he lost a ball near his own goal, but he made a key save in the first overtime. The Tigers eventually won their first NCAA championship in the second overtime,[14] and Bacigalupo was selected as the most outstanding player of the tournament.[15] Bacigalupo also performed well in the 1993 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championships and was again the most outstanding player during the 1994 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament when the Tigers won the championship for a second time.[16][17]

Professional career

After college, he took a Wall Street job with Merrill Lynch.[18] Bacigalupo has not played professionally in either the National Lacrosse League or Major League Lacrosse.[19][20]
