Utah’s lacrosse players huddled in the north end zone of Judge Memorial’s McCarthey Stadium, waiting for their coach to finish a long talk with the Mount St. Mary’s coach and address them after a fifth straight defeat.
Opposing coaches often have a lot of good things to tell Utah’s Brian Holman after facing his team, and they’re not just being nice. They’re impressed with everything the Utes are doing in the program’s inaugural Division I season, although that’s not translating to wins lately. Saturday’s game clearly got away from the Utes, who lost 16-15 to the Maryland school after leading for most of the afternoon.
