Salem State Mourns Passing of Men's Lacrosse Player Sam Cioffi

We are sad to share that we lost a member of our student athlete community over the weekend. Sam Cioffi, a member of our men's lacrosse team from Marblehead and Beverly Massachusetts, passed away after a medical emergency Sunday morning. Sam had just broken the single season goal record on Friday night in the team's final game, and was a finalist for the VESPY Award for Record Setting Performance of the Year.

 

Counseling Services are available in Athletics beginning at 11:00 am on Monday, May 2, 2022, and there will be a vigil for Sam on Tuesday at 7 pm on Alumni Field. Please join us in keeping Sam's family, teammates, coaches and friends in your thoughts.
