Lower Moreland

2021 Record and accomplishments: 5-12 (2-9 in the SOL)

Coach’s Outlook for 2022: With 11 seniors, we are excited to bring back many key players this season. We have a huge group of enthusiastic athletes this year, including many freshmen who are playing lacrosse for the first time. Without a middle school program, each year the goal is to build new players while challenging our veteran players to improve upon the prior year. This is also our second season in the SOL and although we lost some strong players, our goal is to beat last year’s record. In addition to working hard on the field, we will also continue to promote service through a Laurel House fundraiser at the end of April where we collect items for those impacted by domestic violence.”
