At Cornell

Taylor Pinzone, who was part of two Final Four teams at Northwestern before earning first-team All-Pac 12 honors at Arizona State, brought her high-level experience to the Cornell women's lacrosse coaching staff as an assistant coach in August of 2022.
 

Prior to Cornell

Pinzone coached with the Mass Elite Club Lacrosse program beginning in 2015, while also doing personal instruction and training. Experienced in skill evaluation and assessment, as well as practice planning and execution and skill level evaluation, she served as an instructor at Northwestern coach Kelly Almonte Hiller's camps and clinics as an undergraduate.
 

Playing Career

A first-team All-PAC 12 and PAC-12 all-tournament selection in the midfield as a graduate transfer, Pinzone ranked third on the team in scoring (41-13-54), draw controls (42), ground balls (30) and caused turnovers (20) while pacing the team in free position goals (10) for the Sun Devils. She earned National Player of the Week honors from Inside Lacrosse on April 4 after helping ASU to a win at Rutgers. She earned an invitation to compete at the IWLCA Senior All-Star Game.
 
Her Arizona State experience came on the heels of an excellent four-year career at Northwestern, posting 34 goals and six assists (40 points) in 50 games, including two starts. She helped the team to a pair of NCAA Final Four appearances with two Big Ten tournament and one conference regular season crown. She was chosen as a three-time Academic All-Big Ten pick and captured league Freshman of the Week accolades once as a rookie.
