10/07/2015 | Men's Lacrosse
With the end of fall practice approaching, the Richmond men's lacrosse team went to reload with the incoming freshmen class, with the hopes to return to the NCAA Tournament, a feat achieved in the program's inaugural season of 2014. The 12 new players have integrated with 34 returners to combine forces in attempt to improve on last season's 11-5 mark, which included a perfect 6-0 Southern Conference ledger.
“Welcoming our class of 2019 to the University of Richmond is very exciting,” said UR head coach Dan Chemotti. “It's a group that consists of both quality players and quality young men who will contribute plenty on the field, in the classroom, and around the community. They hail from some top programs around the country and have integrated seamlessly into our locker room and our culture.”
