John DeTommaso ranks as one of the most decorated men's lacrosse players in school history. He guided the Blue Jays to four straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament, two NCAA Championships and one national runner-up finish. The Blue Jays posted a four-year record of 49-5 during his career and were a combined 27-1 during the 1984 and 1985 seasons.

DeTommaso garnered All-America honors in each of his four seasons at Hopkins, including First Team status as a sophomore, junior and senior. He is one of just five defensmen in school history who have earned First Team All-America honors three times and he is one of just 19 players in school history who has earned All-America honors four times.

DeTommaso also earned the William C. Schmeisser Award as the top defenseman in the nation as a junior and was named to the All-Time Johns Hopkins team at the end of his career. He was one of 10 Johns Hopkins players named to the NCAA Silver Anniversary Team in 1995 and he was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2001.

DeTommaso has continued his involvement with the sport of lacrosse since his graduation from Johns Hopkins. He won four gold medals as a member of the United States National Team (1986, 1990, 1994 and 1998) and has been the head coach of the Long Island Lizards of Major League Lacrosse since the league was formed in 2001. He has guided the Lizards to a pair of MLL Championships (2001 & 2003).
