"We are so proud of Nick and him breaking the all-time point scoring record," said head coach Pat Cooney.

Nick has been an exemplary student-athlete helping all Salve athletics through SAAC and his game management duties."

"What a great achievement this is for Nick and his teammates," said associate head coach Dave Haddland. "To achieve the all-time leading point for Salve Regina men's lacrosse, these past three years, shows how hard work pays off. Congratulations to Nick and his family."

"I'm happy to see Nick set the new record," said Chris Walker, whose record LoCicero broke. "He's a tremendous player to watch and as an alumnus you love to see the program excelling to new levels. Breaking these types of benchmarks can only be a positive for the overall growth and success of the program. I will be cheering Nick and the rest of the team on as they advance to the CCC playoffs this Saturday."
