Coming into the season nationally ranked, big expectations were placed on the shoulders of the Appalachian State Men’s lacrosse team. This pressure was exemplified when the schedule revealed their first three contests would be away against Tennessee, Wake Forest and Kennesaw State, arguably their three toughest opponents of the year.
The Mountaineers started the season on the wrong foot, dropping their first three games of the season. However, they were able to right the ship with a substantial 14-8 win against Davidson, showing why they were ranked in the first place. They look to continue this success today as they continue their season.
