Ryan Candelori was added to the men's lacrosse coaching staff ahead of the 2026 season.
Prior to joining the Aggies, Candelori spent two seasons (2023-25) as an assistant coach at Souderton Area High School, where he coached the junior varsity team and worked extensively with the program's goalkeepers. In 2025, he also served as head coach of Souderton's B Division (5th/6th grade) team. Since 2023, he has also coached with Black Bear Lacrosse Club, working with the club's 2031 team and developing goaltenders throughout the organization.
A former collegiate player, Candelori completed a 3+2 Dual Degree Program through King's College and the University of Notre Dame. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Physics from King's College before receiving a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame.
At King's, Candelori was a three-time Middle Atlantic Conference Spring Academic Honor Roll selection while playing multiple positions, including goalkeeper, defensive midfield, and offensive midfield. He was a member of the 2020 team that opened the season 5-0 and became the first—and remains the only—King's men's lacrosse team to receive votes in the national rankings.
While at Notre Dame, Candelori competed for the men's club lacrosse team, helping lead the program to a league championship in his final season. He was also a member of the University's Sports Analytics Club, where he worked with statistical analysis and performance data alongside the varsity men's lacrosse program during its national championship season.
