If you’re the average Tech student, you’ve never seen a lacrosse game before, and you possibly didn’t even know there was a Jacket club team, but this year’s squad wants to change that.
They’re banking on the idea that if you watch the fast-paced, hard-hitting sport once, you will be hooked.
“For people who have never seen lacrosse before, it’s the fastest game on two feet, especially on the [artificial] turf. There’s a lot of hard hitting and fast shots, and it’s a perfect balance of power and finesse,” said one of the team’s four captains, Michael Algozer. “We’re looking at another real strong season. We won our league last year and we’re looking to do the same again.”
Last year the Jackets won the Southeast Lacrosse Conference (SELC) championship for the first time since 1997. Tech competes in Division A of the SELC along with 13 other teams in the southeast such as Tennessee, N.C. State, South Carolina and Florida St. among others.
