Before this summer, a couple of former Penn State lacrosse players had never experienced anything like a two-week, 20-game schedule on an isolated campus.
That changed, though, when former Nittany Lion stars Grant Ament and Chris Sabia traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, in late July for the start of the 2020 Premier Lacrosse League Championship Series.
In just two weeks, the seven-team league played a combined 20 games to crown a champion in the truncated season — eventually resulting in a title for Whipsnakes LC.
Now Archers and Waterdogs players, respectively, Ament and Sabia had to quarantine for a full day in their temporary homes before taking the practice field to prepare for group play.
