EASTON, Pa. - Lafayette men's lacrosse head coach
Patrick Myers introduced his program's 16-member class of 2025 on Friday afternoon.
"This is as diverse a group of young men we have recruited in our time here at Lafayette," Myers said, entering his third season at the helm. "They come from unique backgrounds and from all over the map. The common thread is their competitive nature, drive and desire to be great both on the field and in the classroom. This group brings a winning mindset to College Hill, and is ready to roll up its sleeves and help the Lafayette program take a big step forward. I have no doubt that this group will make an immediate impact on Leopard Lacrosse, and we can't wait to officially get them on campus next fall and integrate them into our brotherhood."
