It's here.
For some, the season is just one sleep away. For others, the wait isn’t much longer. Either way, lacrosse is about to be played, and we previewed 120 teams in the February 2020 edition of US Lacrosse Magazine.
Also in the February edition: A story about how hands-only CPR saved a lacrosse player’s life, the Q & A with ultrarunner Michael Wardian, Brothers in Arm Pads, the story of Matt and Pat Kavanagh, and a 2020 Spring Premiere review.
