Honoring the life and memory of Michael Breschi, son of UNC men’s head coach Joe Breschi
USA Lacrosse is proud to support the Michael Breschi Scholarship, which is awarded annually to two graduating high school seniors who plan to attend college and are the son or daughter of an active lacrosse coach or official. The parent or guardian can be either a male or female coach or official in youth, high school, or college and should be a full-time employee of an educational institution. The scholarship was established in 2007 to honor Michael’s memory following a fatal accident.
