Coach’s Outlook for 2026: “The 2026 Hatters look to build on the success of last year’s season. The offense returns a large portion of its contributors and are poised to be a potent group that can attack teams in a variety of ways. The defense is a young, but talented group looking to put their mark on the season. The entire team has been working hard since September to make a name for themselves. Despite over 50 players in the program, everyone from returning seniors down to brand new freshman embrace the family, team 1st mentality. Practices are physical, lively and energetic and this group is excited to finally go up against some different teams. We are looking to end the season playing our best lacrosse of the year.”
