2021- '22 Lacrosse

We talk incessantly about Cole Kastner from Lacrosse… so I figured, let’s talk about our actual lacrosse team and how they are doing in fall practice!

Sounds like Griffin Schutz will be an impact guy right away. He’s massive, 6’3’’ 220 and somehow looks much bigger.

Also Nunes is battling to start in goal though those who seem to know (thesabre lax board) seem to be leaning towards the other guy (name escaping me) who started a few games last year.

Duke, UNC, and the other usual suspects will be strong again but we are certainly talented enough to make it a three-peat if things break our way.

I believe you are referring to Bobby Gavin… it’ll be a good battle for the starting GK spot.

Somehow the men’s lacrosse team, also outfitted with Nike jerseys, has managed to avoid the rebrand gear. Envious of the team.

but they haven’t - they literally wore helmets with the new secondary logos (faceless cavman) in the national title game.

We’re going to be overpowered again this season… however every team in the ACC has a monster team this year. It’s going to be fun.

Hardest part is going to be keeping everyone happy! Realistically a team could go winless in the ACC this year and still be a top 15 team (in actual play not in rankings).

Fair point, we did somehow get Shellenberger to redshirt though
