Matthew Licciardi enters his second season in 2024 as an assistant coach, following a strong playing career in Ithaca, which ended with an appearance in the National Championship Game in 2022.
Licciardi was one of six Big Red players to start all 19 games in 2022. He finished the season with six goals and 10 assists, along with 13 groundballs and four caused turnovers. Cornell finished the season 14-5, beating Ohio State, Delaware and Rutgers in the NCAA Tournament before falling to No. 1 Maryland in the Championship Game, 9-7.

A native of Lloyd Harbor, N.Y., Licciardi saw action immediately as a first-year – posting six goals and five assists as part of the second midfield line. He helped Cornell win the Ivy League Tournament Title and advance to the NCAA Quarterfinals. The following year, Licciardi recorded two goals and seven assists as a sophomore in 15 games. Then, in the COVID-shortened 2020 season, he had a goal and three assists in five games.
