Congrats Corey! I think this will definitely help the UW-Milwaukee program get up and running and hopefully into the MCLA, Corey has great knowledge and passion for lacrosse and will be able to help out UW-Milwaukee a lot. I wish you the best of luck Corey.

We got a jokester! We thought it would be assumed that it meant President of the Lax team, should we edit the press release?

No need t change it, If others read it and believe he was president of the Univ, it works in Corey's favor! Hey it worked for coach O'leary get to GT and finally got caught at Notre dame in football. Just don't get caught (haha) Corey congrats on the new assignment!!!!!

Congratulations Corey, Jack, and the entire UWM organization. And Jack congratulations on being undefeated in the GLLL this year. It sure seems like you are ready to step up to the MCLA, and I think we're all excited to see what you guys can do. Good luck at the meeting!

Right now we're working with a generic lax.com page
We have a website through uwm.edu, but some problems came about when people attempted to access it from Windows-based browsers. We're still working out the kinks I'll add it to my signature when its finished.
