- Title:
- Assistant Coach
Updated 5/27/26
Taralyn 'TT' Naslonski finished her fourth season on staff and third as an assistant coach in 2026. One of the top scorers in program history and a 2022 Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient, Naslonski previously served as a volunteer assistant in 2023.
"Rutgers has such a special place in my heart and being able to continue to represent the 'Block R' as an assistant coach means everything to me," Naslonski said. "Working with Melissa and having the trust and support from the rest of the staff is truly an honor. This program has seen tremendous growth within the last few seasons and has set the standard for years to come."
Naslonski helped the Scarlet Knights return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2022 during her fourth year on staff. Navigating one of the toughest schedules in the country, the Scarlet Knights wrapped up the 2026 season with their most overall (11) and Big Ten (4) wins since 2022. The campaign was capped with the program’s fourth NCAA Tournament appearance, where RU delivered a 12-11 win over No. 17 Princeton in the opening round of the tournament.
With Naslonski’s help on the offensive side, Rutgers finished second in the Big Ten and seventh nationally with 8.41 assists per game and 18th in the NCAA with 21.82 points per game. Caroline Ling earned All-America, All-Region and All-Big Ten laurels with a program-record 97 points on 63 goals and 34 assists.
Naslonski closed her career as the most prolific scorer in Rutgers women's lacrosse history. A consensus Second Team All-American by the IWLCA and Honorable Mention All-American by USA Lacrosse Magazine and IL Women, First Team IWLCA All-Region, First Team All-Big Ten selection and IWLCA Senior All-Star Game selection in 2022, Naslonski set program records for career points (226) goals (187) and postseason points (22).
Naslonski helped the Scarlet Knights to their best season in program history during her senior campaign in 2022, finishing with a single-season program record 90 points on 66 goals and 24 assists. That year, RU knocked off six ranked opponents, advanced to the Big Ten Championship for the first time and produced its second consecutive NCAA Tournament opening-round victory with a win over No. 23 Saint Joseph’s. Rutgers finished 10th in the country, while Naslonski earned Second Team All-America laurels from the IWLCA.
A two-time team captain, Naslonski finished her collegiate career as a two-time All-Big Ten selection and two-time IWLCA All-Region pick. The Randolph, New Jersey, native was also a four-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree and earned back-to-back Big Ten Distinguished Scholar accolades. Following her career at Rutgers, Naslonski played one season in the Athletes Unlimited professional women’s lacrosse league.
Naslonski also serves as the Director of Player Development with Mad Dog Lacrosse and currently resides in Spring Lake, New Jersey.
