A four-year letterman in lacrosse, three-time national champion and captain of the 1982 national champion Hobart lacrosse team, Larry Grimaldi is one of the most decorated midfielders in Hobart history.
None of the midfielder’s 76 career goals was more memorable than his last. Two-time defending national champion Hobart found itself in a dogfight in the 1982 title tilt, rallying from a 3-0 deficit to take an 8-7 lead over Washington (Md.) College, only to see the Shoremen tie the game and force overtime. With 2:27 run off the clock in the extra session, Grimaldi unleashed a low shot that got by the Washington goalie for a 9-8 triumph. He was named the NCAA tournament’s Most Outstanding Player and earned first team All-America honors that year. Also in 1982, he garnered the Kent W. Marbury Memorial Award.
A two-time second team All-American as well, he was a deft passer, producing 65 career assists to finish his career with 141 points. Grimaldi graduated among the top 10 in Hobart career history in goals (10th), assists (5th), and points (10th). He currently ranks 15th in assists, 20th in points, and 27th in goals.
Grimaldi earned a bachelor’s degree history. He was inducted into the Corning-Painted Post Sports Hall of Fame in 1987.
