Still a young season

Men's Lacrosse

Despite the fact that he hides it well, you can tell UMass men's lacrosse coach Greg Cannella does not want to go 0-3 to start the season one year removed from playing in the National Championship game. There was a fire in the coach's eye as he sat behind his desk yesterday after practice. Here's what Cannella had to say about his team starting 0-2:

Unfortunately we lost the first two, but that doesn’t make your season. You have to play the rest of your games. What are we going to do? Feel bad for ourselves or are we going to fight? I think these guys are going to fight. This
group has a lot of pride and can play well enough.


Harvard is a perfect opponent to face for the Minutemen to kick start their season. The Crimson have allowed double-digit scores to both their 2007 opponents, in fact they allowed matching 13-point performances in each of their losses.
