In his new role as an assistant coach, Piacentini will work with Head Coach Stuart Stefan.
“We are thrilled to have Ty join our coaching staff,” said Stefan. “He has been an integral part of our team’s success over the past several years. I couldn’t think of a better assistant coach to start my head coaching career with.”
