Logan Greco
A close defenseman for the Cavaliers’ 2019 national championship team, Logan Greco enters his fourth season on staff with the Virginia men’s lacrosse program in 2026. During the 2023 season, Greco served the Cavaliers’ volunteer assistant coach before being elevated to assistant coach on July 24, 2023. He currently assists with Virginia’s efforts in defensive strategy, training, scouting, recruiting and video analysis.
In 2025, Greco oversaw a Cavalier group that led the nation in man-down defense. UVA’s man-down unit only surrendered seven goals amid 53 opposing chances, a clip of 86.8 percent. UVA also finished fourth nationally in ground balls (35.93) and seventh in caused turnovers (9.93) per game. Greco contributed to the development John Schroter (defense), who earned All-ACC honors in his second playing season, as well as USILA Third Team All-American Ben Wayer (LSM). Wayer was also selected by the Philadelphia Waterdogs in the 2025 PLL College Draft.
For the second consecutive year, Greco helped the Cavaliers advance to Championship Weekend in 2024, also UVA’s fourth appearance in the previous five NCAA tournaments. In addition to helping the Hoos to their eighth straight winning season with an overall record of 12-6, Cole Kastner (defense) and Chase Yager (SSDM) were both named USILA Second Team All-Americans, while Wayer was tabbed an honorable mention. Kastner was also drafted by the California Redwoods in the 2024 PLL College.
In his first season as a coach at UVA, Greco and the Cavaliers returned Championship Weekend for the 25th time in program history after posting a 13-4 record with the nation’s No. 1 overall strength of schedule. Virginia also led the country in ground balls per game (39.65) and the ACC in clearing percentage (.908). Greco mentored the likes of four defensive USILA All-Americans, including first-team selection Cade Saustad.
Prior to his return to UVA, Greco spent two seasons (2020-22) at the University of Richmond as the Spiders’ volunteer assistant coach, where he assisted with one of the most elite defenses in the nation. In 2021, Richmond led the country in caused turnovers, forcing 10.62 takeaways per game. Greco and the Spiders also led the Southern Conference in clearing percentage (.902) and scoring defense (9.62/game), good for third and eighth in the nation, respectively.
A native of Hauppauge, New York, Greco is a four-time UVA letterwinner. He was voted a USILA All-American Honorable Mention in 2019 after starting in all 20 of UVA’s games. That season, he collected 38 ground balls, including seven in the NCAA Tournament, and totaled 21 caused turnovers. One of Greco’s signature performances was during the 2019 ACC Tournament championship game, a 10-4 triumph over Notre Dame, when he tallied five ground balls and four caused turnovers to lead the Cavaliers to the program’s 18th ACC title.
Greco earned his undergraduate degree in 2019 as a double major in foreign affairs and history from UVA’s School of Arts & Sciences.
Greco and his wife, Gabrielle, reside in Charlottesville and have two dogs, Harley and Bruce.
