Tragedy struck the Siena University men's lacrosse team with the passing of head coach Liam Gleason, who died after a serious fall at his home on Sunday. Gleason, 41, was a beloved figure in the lacrosse community, known for his coaching prowess and dedication to his team. According to a statement from the university, Gleason's family has launched a GoFundMe to cover the expenses related to his treatment. The campaign, which has already raised over $497,910, states that Gleason suffered a traumatic brain injury in the fall. Details surrounding the fall are unclear, but it is confirmed that it occurred at Gleason's home in New York state on Sunday. His family, including his wife Jaclyn and their three children, Kennedy, Penn, and Tate, are now facing a difficult road ahead.
