Bench dedicated in memory of Evan Spirito ’10

Friends of Evan Spirito gather on May 5 for the dedication of a bench in his memory. They are holding his lacrosee jersey, which was No. 19.

On Saturday, May 5, family and friends of Evan Spirito ’10 gathered on CC campus to dedicate a bench in his memory.  Evan passed away November 2, 2011 after a valiant three-year struggle with lung cancer.  Evan played lacrosse at CC.  Following the final men’s lacrosse home game on May 5, Evan’s family, lacrosse teammates  and friends dedicated his bench which is located at the top of the Tiger Trail behind McGregor.  As a close friend of Chris Quon ’09, Evan’s bench is next to the tree planted in memory of Chris, both overlooking Washburn Field where they spent many hours together. 

In addition to this bench, the Assistant Lacrosse Coach’s Office in El Pomar Sports Complex is in memory of Evan and in recognition of the support he received from his coaches and fellow athletes at CC.

Spirito’s jersey, No. 19, and Quon’s jersey, No. 12, hang in the CC press box for all home men’s lacrosse games, and hang on the CC team bench when the team travels for away games.
