Nicolas Prandi
Prandi was born and raised in Argentina until the age of 12 when his family migrated to New York. He attended Gordon College, where he played D3 lacrosse and graduated with a teaching degree. In 2014, Prandi joined the Argentina Men’s National Lacrosse Team as a player and went on to compete in two World Championships (2014 and 2018) and a Latin American Cup (2015). After competing in Israel in 2018, he gladly switched to the coaching side of things, joining Coach Holly in a quest to start an Argentina Women’s National Lacrosse Team. Prandi has been coaching the women’s game for over 10 years, currently serving as an assistant coach at Endicott College, a head coach for Boston Lacrosse Club, and the head coach for Argentina Women’s Lacrosse.
Holly Reilly
Reilly graduated from Princeton University in 2009 where she played lacrosse and field hockey all four years (her field hockey team took a trip to Argentina in 2007 to compete!). Following college graduation, she competed with Team USA in the 2009 and 2013 FIL World Championships winning gold medals. Reilly continued to compete in the three iterations of professional women's lacrosse in the United States, most recently with Athletes Unlimited in 2021 as a defender. During her experiences with Team USA, she felt the need for the growth of the sport internationally to achieve the vision of lacrosse in the Olympics and for players and fans to experience a truly competitive sport worldwide. When the position to coach Team Argentina presented itself, she jumped on it enthusiastically!
