Dom Starsia (born April 21, 1952) is an American lacrosse coach. He is the former head coach of the University of Virginia men's lacrosse program, with whom he has won four NCAA national championships, in 1999, 2003, 2006, and 2011. Previously, he served as the head coach of the Brown University lacrosse team where he was twice awarded the F. Morris Touchstone Award as the NCAA Division I lacrosse coach of the year. Starsia is currently the third the winningest collegiate lacrosse coach and was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2008.
Born in New York City in 1952, Starsia attended Valley Stream Central High School, where he played football at the wide receiver position. In 1970, he enrolled at Brown University, where he again played wide receiver for the varsity football team. Prior to enrolling at Brown, Starsia had never played or seen a lacrosse game. However, he took to the sport naturally and developed into an outstanding defenseman, earning Third Team All America honors in 1973 and 1974 as well as First Team All-Ivy and All-New England honors both years. In 1974, he was captain of the Brown lacrosse team that reached the NCAA playoffs and was selected to play in the annual North-South Senior All-Star Game.
