Warriors Help Bring Lacrosse to Williamsport
Student-Athletes Run Clinic at Local Middle School

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. --- The Lycoming College Men's lacrosse team recently helped out in the community by running a clinic for the Curtain Middle School. The gym classes at the school are just beginning to add lacrosse as part of their curriculum and had asked head coach Brian Anken if the team would be willing to come up and do a program for the kids so that they would have a better understanding of the game, coming from experienced players.

The players set up several demonstrations, including a show of the gear worn by the players. Also among these demonstrations were shooting drills, passing games, a dodging section and how to get ground balls. More than half the team came to help out over the two day period, and everyone enjoyed the experience. Senior Captain Tom Nairn said that "It was an awesome experience, we got to get out and help the community, letting them know that both the school and the team care about Williamsport and the growing lacrosse trend."

The men's lacrosse team begins their season in 2007, with a home game on February 24th against Ithaca at 1:00 PM on the turf field at the Shangraw Athletic Complex.
