A three-year letterwinner with the women's lacrosse team, Gargiulo broke into the national spotlight her junior year when she finished a record-breaking season second in the nation in goals per game.
 
A USA College Lacrosse.com Second Team All-American that year, she averaged 5.0 goals per game, scoring a school-record 80, finishing seventh in the nation in total goals scored. Her scoring was just one aspect of her versatility to the Warriors, as she was amongst the top 100 players in Division III in points per game (5.25, 24^th), groundballs per game (4.0, 29^th) and draw controls per game (3.13, 95^th). She also forced 1.19 turnovers per game.
 
During the season, the Branchburg, N.J., native won three MAC Offensive Player of the Week awards, as she posted five or more goals in seven games and notched hat tricks in 13 straight games. She posted a school-record 11 goals and a then-record-tying 12 points in the Warriors' 19-10 win over Misericordia on April 13.
 
A knee injury ended her career in the fall of her senior year, but Gargiulo is still ninth in school history with 125 career goals and 11^th with 146 career points despite only playing three seasons with the Warriors.
 
Gargiulo, who earned Honorable Mention All-MAC honors in 2010, was the 13th player in school history to earn first-team all-conference honors in 2011.
 
Gargiulo is a Voluntary Benefits Consultant with Mercer in Colorado. She and husband, Francesco, have three children, Lucia, Sienna and Antonio, and Gargiulo is currently assisting Lucia in her first seasons of lacrosse. She has also run two half-marathons while also enjoying weightlifting, bike riding, skiing and hiking.
