We are very similar teams in looking for the first win as both teams prepare for their conference play. We’ve had a couple injuries, but the guys are responding well to the challenge that we put forth. I can genuinely say that we have improved over the past month. We’re excited to start up March lacrosse!” – Head Coach John Galloway #PhinLaxFacts
