Before arriving at Lafayette, Musci spent four seasons as the top assistant lacrosse coach at Saint Leo University (Fla.), where he was the defensive coordinator for three seasons before taking over as offensive coordinator in his final year with the program. He also was in charge of recruiting, travel planning and helping to maintain Saint Leo’s scholarship budget.

In those two championship seasons, Saint Leo finished the year ranked in the top-10 nationally in team defense. In 2010, Musci was a finalist for the USILA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year. He also graduated with a Masters of Business Administration from Saint Leo in May of 2011. 

Prior to his time at Saint Leo, Musci was an undergraduate assistant coach at Drexel, his alma mater, during the 2007 campaign. He graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. 

In his four seasons as a player at Drexel (2003-06), Musci was a two-time team captain and recorded 82 points on 49 goals and 33 assists. A native of Garden City Park, N.Y., Musci was selected to play in the USILA North/South Senior All-Star game and was the named Most Valuable Player during his senior year (2006). He also was named the program’s Most Outstanding Player in 2005. The 2006 Colonial Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete honoree also was the recipient of the Randy Voight Coaches Award in 2004.
