He helped the Catamounts win the first conference championship in program history in 2021, which also marked the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Individually, Iaria made the 2019 America East All-Rookie Team, and he ended his undergraduate career with 33 points on 14 goals and 19 assists.
While studying and competing at UVM, Iaria also worked as an assistant coach at 802 Lacrosse in Burlington, where he taught lacrosse fundamentals to inexperienced athletes, planned trips and accompanied the team to tournaments.
