Lafayette men’s lacrosse head coach Jim Rogalski has announced the team’s 2017 spring schedule.
The Leopards will face four teams that at least received votes in the final Inside Lacrosse rankings at the end of the 2016 season, including two teams in the top 15. All four are Patriot League opponents as Loyola and Navy finished in the eighth and 14th positions, while Army and Bucknell received votes.
Lafayette will open its non-conference slate with a trip to the Big House, battling Michigan in Ann Arbor on Feb. 11. The Patriot League opener is slated for Feb. 25 as the Leopards host Loyola at Fisher Stadium at 12:00 p.m.
Bethlehem, Pa. will play host to the 2017 installment of The Rivalry between Lafayette and Lehigh on March 18 at 1:00 p.m., while the Leopards will host Senior Day on April 15 against Bucknell at 1:00 p.m. The Patriot League Tournament is set for April 25-30.
