Lacrosse Takes the Field
On Saturday the lacrosse team stepped on the field for an intrasquad scrimmage. The team split into two and faced each other in a very well played game. The coaches took it as an opportunity to see the skill level and make any changes that needed to be made. Coach Bamann was very happy with what he saw. "I thought that both teams played hard this weekend. I saw good effort and the guys showed a lot of promise."
With one scrimmage under their belt, the team is working as hard as ever to prepare for their first regular season game. On September 12th they will travel to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to face their club team at 2:00 P.M.
