Finishing 4-4, Men’s club lacrosse fell just short of qualifying for the NCLL playoffs in their first season. The club, with over 25 players, and games against major programs like Hofstra, Brown and Yale, came away with a few surprising wins and a memorable year.

The club’s first win came against NYU in a ‘muddy brawl’ on March 1, according to the club’s website. The team was lead by Dan Deland’s three goals, with captain Riston Rocchio, Kelvin Leung, Rich Seguritan and Ivan Mak also finding the back of the net in the 7-3 victory. The team followed up with another win the next day, dropping Brown University 3-1.

‘The guys are all great, and it’s just great to get out on the field with people I like and play some lacrosse and have some fun,’ said Rich Krudner, a sophomore goaltender. ‘I can see the team making the playoffs, and competing for championships in the upcoming years.’

With 15 freshman and sophomores on the team, club lacrosse returns a number of players now with a years experience under their belt. ‘We have lots of potential, we just need to get everything hitting on all cylinders,’ Krudner said. ‘If that happens, the playoffs are attainable, and once you get there you never know what’s going to happen.’
