~Alumni Game Info~
The 2010 UConn Lacrosse Alumni game will be held at 2pm on November 7th at Depot Field (directions http://uconnmenslacrosse.blogspot.com/1999/04/facilitiesdirections.html). I realize this date is a little later in the fall then when we would typically hold this event, but hopefully that does not deter attendance. This summer Depot Field underwent a million dollar renovation and the field looks amazing, but unfortunately the project took longer than expected, which complicated fall scheduling on the field. Nonetheless, November 7th 2pm is a lock, and I will have more information about any post or pregame celebrations later this month.
~Jack McGetrick Passes Away~
Divison 1 Bellarmine Head Coach Jack McGertick passed away on October 9th after a long battle with cancer. Jack, know to many as 'black jack', coached at several high schools in Connecticut, and in the early 90's was the head coach of the UConn Men's Lacrosse club team. He eventually would leave UConn to coach at Division 1 Hartford, where he would compile an 87-74 record over 11 seasons. In 2004 he left as the winningest coach in Hartford history to head to Kentucky for his new position as Bellarmine's first ever head coach. Jack is survived by his wife, Lysa, and four children: Trista, Devon, Eamon, and Connor. More info: http://athletics.bellarmine.edu/news/2010/10/10/MLAX_1010103334.aspx
