Eric Cirella was officially named the fifth head coach in the history of the Salve Regina baseball program in June 2013, returning to his alma mater and replacing his father, Steve, who stayed on staff as an assistant coach until 2017, after a 14-year tenure as head coach of the Seahawks. Cirella is entering his 12th season as Salve Regina's head coach. In 12 seasons, Cirella's record stands at 332-143-6.

A four-year stand-out baseball player at Salve Regina University, Cirella was an All-Conference and Academic All-Conference member four years while also earning the 2004 Brother Michael Reynolds Award for outstanding accomplishment in academics and athletics. He also was the school's Male Athlete of the Year in 2004-2005, and was a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-America© (2003-2005) in addition to earning ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America of the Year award in 2005.
