May 24, 2018Congratulations and Best Wishes to the UAlbany Men’s Lacrosse Team
Men’s Lacrosse is now the second University at Albany sports team to make the final four of an NCAA Tournament, and the first in program history, after Saturday’s 15-13 defeat of the University of Denver at Hofstra University.
The No. 2-ranked Great Danes, is matching up with 3-ranked Yale at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., on Saturday (tickets available), join the 2014 Women’s Field Hockey squad as Final Four combatants. Field Hockey defeated two higher ranked teams to reach that level, where it dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to number 3 seed UConn in the semifinals.
Head Lacrosse Coach Scott Marr called the Denver contest, only secured when faceoff specialist TD Ierlan won his last encounter with all-American Trevor Baptiste with 37 seconds to go, “an unbelievable game. Every time we were ahead, they’d storm back. They never quit, and neither did we.”
