Ricky Gangloff ’12 - Assistant Coach

This is Ricky Gangloff’s fourth year at Servite coaching lacrosse.  While he mainly coaches the JV offense, he also helps out with warming up goalies at all levels during games and practice. An alumni from the class of 2012, Coach Gangloff grew up playing baseball and football until friends convinced him to try lacrosse in eighth grade.  His passion for the sport grew and his first season playing was for the Yorba Linda Orangemen as a Faceoff specialist.  

In his freshman year at Servite, Coach Gangloff was one of the only players with prior experience, yielding him a varsity spot playing attack.  Additionally he was a natural left handed player which enhanced his value on the roster.  After his first season, their lacrosse coach left and current head coach, Tom O’Leary, stepped in to take the program over.  Under coach O’Leary, Coach Gangloff was moved from attack to midfield and finished out a very successful career helping the program beat every Trinity league opponent at least once.  Both junior and senior years, the program was able to make the division one playoff bracket.  In his senior year, Coach Gangloff and the team came very close to upsetting the number one ranked CDM as the sixteenth seed.  An extremely memorable experience.  

After graduating from Servite in 2012, he was recruited and committed to continue playing lacrosse at Nazareth College in Rochester, located in Upstate New York.  As the only player on the roster from the west coast, teammates were shocked to learn that he had only started playing in eighth grade.  After his freshman year, it was decided to continue his studies closer to home, where he enrolled at Cal State Fullerton to pursue a bachelor’s degree in finance. 

Currently Coach Gangloff is a property tax consultant for Ryan LLC.  His position entails disputing their clients tax assessments in fifty two counties of California.  He values his experience from both Servite and lacrosse and carries them with him daily in his life and career.
