December Sport Club Highlight: Men's Lacrosse Season Preview

December Sport Club Highlight: Men’s Lacrosse Season Preview

The holidays may be upon us, but the Spring semester is fast approaching and that means it’s time to kick off the Spring sport club season! Heading into the Spring season, there is no hotter Rowan sport club than Men’s Lacrosse.

The Profs are coming off of a 2017 season where they finished 7-6 (3-2 in the conference) and lost in the conference playoffs to rivals West Chester. Last year’s team also won Rowan’s first “Lax for Donnie” championship since starting the tournament in 2015 to honor club co-founder Donnie Farrell.

Men’s Lacrosse has quickly bounced back from some of the disappointing moments from last season and shaken of the rust this Fall. Going 8-1 in their Fall slate of games including a 1^st place performance in the Fall Brawl tournament.

In the Fall Brawl the Profs beat their round robin opponents by a combined score for 32-8, steam rolling to the championship round. They claimed a commanding 10-3 victory over the Maryland University B team to take home their second straight Fall Brawl championship.

Despite their Fall success the team is still facing an uphill battle heading into the regular season. The National College Lacrosse League has Rowan ranked 17^th among Division II teams in their preseason top 25. This ranking puts them behind Liberty Conference rivals West Chester (9^th) and St. Joes (2^nd) in the preseason polls.

Rowan is going to have a lot to prove if they’re going to compete in a stacked Liberty Conference this season, but if their hot start this Fall is any indicator they are certainly up for the challenge.

Come out and support Men’s Club Lacrosse as they start their spring season this February!
