~~~UConn Men's Lacrosse Releases 2011 Schedule~~~
The UConn Men's Lacrosse Team has released their 2011 schedule which looks to be one of their most ambitious in recent memory. This spring the Huskies have matchups against 3 nationally ranked teams (vs. #4 Colorado, #13 Boston College, and #22 New Hampshire). Additionally, UConn will travel to Memphis, TN to compete against Texas A & M, Tennessee, and Indiana. The team will host up to 7 home games this spring (WPI and URI times/locations still TBD). Please consider attending some games this year to support the team as they undertake a challenging schedule and look to clinch a bid to nationals.
