Men's Lacrosse to Test the Waters Under New Direction |

Under the leadership of first-year head coach, A.J. Smith, the Capital University men's lacrosse team is ready to get back on track during the 2022 season. An uncharacteristic year that ended with a 7-6 record and a 3-5 conference mark left a sour taste in the mouth of the Comets. Heading into a fresh campaign with new direction at the top, the team is sure to see what they can do within the ever-difficult OAC conference.
The team opened up play last weekend with a 12-10 loss at Bridgewater College, but will look to rebound this Saturday at home vs. Kenyon.

The coaching duo has their sights set on a berth in the OAC Tournament Championship game, excited to get over the bump this year. The team last played in the OAC final during the 2019 season.
