The 2021 game was in OT during a snow storm that the boys traveled from HC to Colgate on a 8 hour bus ride and then played the game b/c no over night stays were allowed post COVID lockdowns. The 2022 game was also tight at 14-12, which as you may know is like losing on the last possession or two in hoops. one last point, if I had the energy, which I now do not, I could compare the alumni giving for all teams across all sports. The irrelevant mens lax team is in the top 2 or 3 in both dollars contributions and number of donors to the school consistently over the last 5-7 years. Look at the support for the current head coach, who is a terrific person, a leader of men and who will be successful at the school. These are positives that should be highlighted. The coach went 1-13 last year and 0-8 in conference play. The only win was over a 2-11 UMass-Lowell squad 15-14. The one game I saw of Lowell last season, the score was 17-2 at halftime.

Remember the structure of the sport. There are no transfers or 5th year students on the team (unlike Loyola, army, navy and BU). The seniors players from last year were not recruited by the current coach. His first class are now sophomores. So he has essentially two groups; his recruits as Freshmen and Sophomore, Coach Bs as the Seniors and a mixture of juniors. I encourage you to meet Coach. You will be impressed and have the positive outlook for the program that most of us who have been living this sport for 15+ years have in him and the ability to have a relevant mens lax program at HC.

To be clear … this year’s freshman class (the ones who just arrived on the hill in Sept and haven’t played a game yet) is Reppert’s first recruiting class. Last year’s freshman class (now sophomores) would have already had to submit their applications before Reppert was hired. This years junior class had already been enrolled for a semester when Reppert was hired.
