Rick Senatore
Head Coach
(603) 899-1059
College: Massachusetts, '91

Rick Senatore begins his third season as Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach at Franklin Pierce University in 2012.

Senatore has had a profound impact on the Ravens program in each of his first two seasons in Rindge, including 2011, when helped guide freshman middie Eddie Noonan to NE-10 Rookie-of-the-Year honors, while also earning a spot on the league's All-Rookie Team. If that accomplishment wasn't enough, Noonan was then tabbed as the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (NEILA) Division II Rookie of the Year and earned a spot on the All-NEILA Second-Team. The honors marked the first major awards in program history. On the team front, the Ravens won their first two games of the season, including a thrilling 9-8 come-from-behind win over Dominican, and jumped into the NEILA Top-5 Poll for just the second time in program history.

In 2010, under his guidance, Franklin Pierce set a program record for overall and conference wins in a single season. The Ravens began the season with four-straight wins and ultimately concluded the campaign ranked fifth in the final edition of the NEILA Poll (the highest ranking in program history). The Ravens proved to be a solid team at home in the friendly-confines of Sodexo Field as they posted a respectable 4-3 record.

Individual honors were also thrown at Franklin Pierce following the season as freshman defender Ben McDannell was named to the Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team.

Senatore came to Franklin Pierce following three years at fellow Northeast-10 Conference member Saint Anselm College. He turned around a program which posted a 3-11 record the year prior to his arrival into a program which earned NE-10 Tournament bids in each of his three seasons, including a semifinal appearance in 2009.

Senatore led Saint Anselm to winning records both overall and in NE-10 play each of the last two seasons, posting identical 8-7 clips in 2008 and 2009, along with 6-4 and 5-4 marks in conference, respectively. He earned NE-10 Coach-of-the-Year honors in 2007 after the Hawks won four of their last five games, including the first two wins over nationally ranked programs in school history, and was selected to coach the East squad in the New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (NEILA) All-Star Game.

Over his three years at Saint Anselm, 10 players were named All-New England, five All-Northeast-10, four selected for the NEILA Senior All-Star Game and one picked to the NE-10 All-Academic team. Senatore is also active within the NEILA, serving as Division II Poll Committee Leader and Academic All-New England Committee Leader.

Prior to taking over at Saint Anselm, Senatore served three years as Head Boy’s Lacrosse Coach at Hopkinton High School. He started the program in 2004 at the junior varsity level, competing at the varsity level for the first time in 2005. In the program’s second year at the varsity level, the Hawks posted a 12-4 record and advanced to the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) small-school state semifinals. Senatore was named Coach of the Year in the NHIAA and was selected to coach the New Hampshire Senior All-Star Team for his efforts.

Senatore is co-founder and director of Granite State Lacrosse, which runs a series of camps, indoor leagues and the New Hampshire Tomahawks Elite Lacrosse Club.

Senatore is a 1991 graduate of the University of Massachusetts, where he played under legendary coach Dick Garber. He was a four-year starting midfielder and helped the Minutemen to four straight NCAA Division 1 Tournament appearances and a Top 10 national ranking in each of those seasons. During his freshman year, he was selected to try-out for the Under 19 US National Team. Senatore was a team captain, named to the Division 1 All-New England Team and was selected to play in the NEILA Senior All-Star Game.

A native of Lindenhurst, N.Y., Senatore played on the prestigious Long Island Empire State Team and was a Newsday All-Long Island selection in football. He currently resides in Bedford, NH with his wife, Valerie and their two children.
