Penn State men’s lacrosse eager for return to nonconference play in Lafayette matchup

Ahead of Penn State’s season debut on Saturday against Lafayette, coach Jeff Tambroni expects his team to be competitive with whoever it faces.

Tambroni harped on the maturity and talent of his freshman class, which was clocked in at No. 19 on Inside Lacrosse’s 2022 rankings.

“This entire freshman class has had an impact on the journey thus far, the entire class has done a terrific job,” Tambroni said.

His squad features a total of 15 true freshmen for this season, by far more than any other class on the roster.

“It’s been a real fun process to watch these guys grow up so quickly and to watch our older guys absorb them into the culture of Penn State, it’s a compliment to both sides,” Tambroni said.
