Brian Kasper

Freshmen Coach: Brian Kasper

Entering his third year at Villanova, Brian has focused on growing the numbers of the team and quality of athletes in his role as Freshmen Coach.  Under his direction, the team has developed a system of attracting competitive and determined athletes to the program.  In that time the roster has doubled.
