Filangieri, who fills the vacancy left by Nathan Gerbe's departure, joins assistant captain Benn Ferriero and captain Brock Bradford as leaders of the 2008-09 team.
"I feel honored and extremely grateful for this opportunity to serve as the assistant captain," Filangieri said. "There has been a lot of excitement within the team in the weight room this summer. We are all looking forward to this upcoming season."
