Leading the first U.S. women’s box team was familiar turf for Capicchioni, a pioneer among women’s athletes. In 2003, she became the first female to play in the National Lacrosse League, playing for the New Jersey Storm. In 2011, she played for the U.S. men’s team in the world championship, making 28 saves while allowing just two goals while playing in parts of two games.

Capicchioni was a three-time Northeast Conference Goaltender of the Year at Sacred Heart and played box lacrosse in Canada in addition to her stint in the NLL and with the U.S. team. She has coached women’s lacrosse at the collegiate level at a variety of schools, including Rutgers, Penn, Michigan and Louisville most recently.

She used her diverse playing and coaching background to build the U.S. program from the ground up, culminating with Team One capturing the 2024 World Lacrosse Women's Box Championship.
