Last year, the Fresno State lacrosse team was the last athletics program to play in a game before the pandemic put a stop to all competitions. The future was uncertain at the time.
But on Oct. 16, its future was made clear. Fresno State announced that three sports will be cut at the end of the academic year — wrestling, men’s tennis and lacrosse. The team is also dealing with threats of a lawsuit that would allege a potential Title IX violation by the school.
Still with only one season left, head coach Kara Concheck said there’s nothing negative about the players’ attitude heading into the spring campaign.
