Hoyas not ready to say goodbye

Typically, a bye week during the football season gives players the opportunity to rest and recover from injury, and allows coaches additional time to regroup and implement new strategies.

A week with no game scheduled meant that for the first time since the season opener, the Hoyas did not have to fear another unsuccessful Saturday.

Men’s lax hopes to rebound against Orange

As more youngsters are being introduced to the lacrosse world, NCAA Division I lacrosse is slowly, but surely, on the rise. A few years ago, the level of play dropped off significantly after the top 10 teams, but as the sport’s popularity has continued to expand, the competition has grown as well.
