BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Head Coach Dawn Easley has announced the addition of Alexandra Giacolone to her coaching staff as an assistant coach.
 
Giacolone comes to Buies Creek after spending the past two seasons as an assistant coach at East Carolina following her playing career in Greenville.
 
"I am thrilled to add Alexandra to our staff," said Easley. "She will be working with the defensive side of the field and with recruiting. She was a fantastic player at ECU who played under a great defensive coach. Her experience at ECU as a player and coach will help our program succeed as we continue the success we saw last year."
 
"I am incredibly grateful to Coach Easley for the opportunity to join Campbell's women's lacrosse program," Giacolone said. "I'm excited to get to work alongside this outstanding coaching staff and be part of such a special program. I look forward to contributing to the continued success and tradition of Campbell Women's Lacrosse while competing at the highest level in the CAA. Go Camels!"
 
In her second season as an assistant coach in 2026, Giacolone helped guide the Pirates to an 8-9 record, including a 6-1 mark at home. ECU ranked fourth in the American in ground balls per game and fifth in caused turnovers, with players Emma Magazu led the conference in ground balls, while Kayla Wilkes ranked second in caused turnovers. Three players were named to the all-conference first team, with one player receiving recognition on the second team.
 
In 2025, Giacolone helped the Pirates to an overall record of 7-10 while setting a program record for American Athletic Conference wins with a 4-2 mark in league play. That season saw the Pirates achieve several individual honors under Giacolone's guidance. Emma Magazu and Kayla Wilkes were named American Defensive Player of the Year and American Midfielder of the Year, respectively. Both players were named unanimously to the All-Conference First Team while four other players earned Second-Team nods. Additionally, Magazu became just the third player in program history to earn IWLCA All-Region honors with South Region Second Team recognition while breaking Giacolone's own program record for single season caused turnovers.
 
Giacolone joined the Pirates coaching staff after an illustrious playing career in Purple and Gold. She finished her time on the field as the program record holder in career caused turnovers (90) and ground balls (146) in 67 games played, starting 65. 

On the field, Giacolone was a three-time All-Conference performer and was one of the first two East Carolina lacrosse players named to the IWLCA All-Region team.

A native of Manorville, N.Y., Giacolone graduated from East Carolina in 2024 with a degree in Special Education Curriculum.
