It will be a homecoming for many Amherst players next Sunday when the Mammoths make their first appearance in an NCAA Division III lacrosse championship.
A group of Philly grads played key roles today as Amherst toppled NESCAC rival and host Williams, 12-8, in the Division III semifinals at Williamstown, Mass.
Amherst (18-3) will face Cabrini – a 16-13 winner over Salisbury – at 4 p.m. May 26 at Lincoln Financial Field for the title.
