Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Athletics

Athletics reported directly to Piscitiello for approximately 14 years. During his tenure, the Gostomski Fieldhouse and the Jul Gernes '61 Pool were constructed, the trails were expanded, a number of new varsity sports were introduced, and the 2000 fastpitch softball team took home a national championship. Piscitiello also orchestrated and co-chaired the football task force, tasked with researching the feasibility of (re)starting men's football. Along with others, Piscitiello helped launch the Cardinal M-Club — now the Cardinal Excellence Fund — the annual fundraising arm of Cardinal Athletics. As a student, Piscitiello was on the 1966 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference baseball championship team. He has been an esteemed and invaluable member of the university's Lasallian community for more than 50 years serving as: admission counselor, vice president for admission, executive vice president, and senior development director. His affable personality and meaningful connections have made him a prolific recruiter, not just for Saint Mary's in general, but gratefully for the athletics department.
