[mks_one_half]The whole NCAA has been getting love, but not a lot of MCLA content has been coming out lately. That might be partially our fault, but it’s lacrosse season and some programs are a half-season deep while some of the northern teams are ready to get started.
Our own Patrick Greenwood gave us a solid update on his Virginia Tech squad this week. We would love to invite anyone interested in writing about the MCLA or having their photography or videos featured each week to email editor@laxallstars.com!
The snow is getting so extreme that games are even getting cancelled in Texas! Lucky for us there was a whole lot more being played elsewhere, so let’s take a look at the beginning of the 2015 MCLA season!
