Rosato served as an assistant coach for the 2015 season under Mascaro, who took over the program on an interim basis in January. Together, Mascaro and Rosato coached the Tornados to a 3-12 record in the programs second season of existence. Brevard earned its first womens lacrosse win in school history on March 21 and knocked off Lincoln Memorial in April for the teams first-ever conference victory.

Im excited for the opportunity to be the head womens lacrosse coach, said Rosato. I would like to thank President David Joyce and Athletic Director Juan Mascaro for this opportunity. I would also like to thank Coach Shug and Juan for both being such great mentors and challenging me to be a better coach and role model.

Recruiting Rizzo to be my assistant was the best decision I made as the womens lacrosse coach, Mascaro commented. Her dedication and passion for the team is second to none, and her growth as a coach this season has been absolutely tremendous. I am confident that she will lead the program to new heights in the years to come.

In addition to the role she played in guiding the team to significant milestones, Rosato helped mentor Brevards first-ever all-conference honoree. Freshman Caitlyn Nemeth was named all-South Atlantic Conference honorable mention after finishing the season 11th in Division II with 47 goals this season. She also garnered Brevards first AstroTurf SAC Player of the Week nod, netting 14 goals and dishing out four assists over a two-game span in April.

Rosato originally came to Brevard as a soccer coach following a stellar playing career at Montevallo. As an assistant in the womens soccer program, Rosato and head coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara led the Tornados to their most wins since the programs first season in the Division II ranks and highest-ever SAC win total.

She will now focus solely on lacrosse, however, as she looks to continue building on a strong foundation laid during the programs first two seasons. The future is bright for this group of young ladies, Rosato said, and I feel very fortunate to see how they grow both on and off the field.

During her first season at the helm of the Tornados women's lacrosse program, Rosato guided Brevard to their first South Atlantic Conference postseason appearance with a 9-7 overall record and a 4-4 league mark.
