(Storrs, CT) UConn is proud to announce its 2003 Spring schedule. UConn has taken on a very difficult schedule, with only one goal in mind, St. Louis. The Huskies will start their season with a challenging spring break trip down south. Here, UConn will play Ga. Tech, NC State and Va. Tech. "These teams are going to be a good early test for the Huskies," explains Coach Davis. "Each of these teams are deep and skilled. They will be capable of putting UConn away early if we take them lightly. We will have to work extra hard in the preseason." Once back, the Huskies will have their conference schedule, including UNH, URI, BU, and BC. The Huskies plan on qualifying for the league tournament in hopes to earn a birth to the national tournament in St. Louis.
Recently Coach Davis announced the captains for the 2002-2003 season. Jon Dahlquist, a senior defenseman will captain the team for a second year. He will also have the help of Senior Defenseman Sean Manley and Junior Midfielder Dave Salemme.
Three members off the 2002 UConn Men's Lacrosse team achieved all conference honors. Chris Sidwa was named to the 2nd team midfield, while Defenseman Jack Pirina and Jon Dahlquist were named to the 2nd team and honor mention respectively.
The UConn Men's Lacrosse team marched to the PCLL Championship game, only to be stopped a game short of a trip to St. Louis for the USLIA championships. On April 26th UConn beat a tough Stonehill team 8-5, and the following day stunned a Bridgewater St squad 10-7. However, the young UConn team ran out of gas and was outmatched by the deep and talented UNH team 10-4. UNH went on to the USLIA championship were they went 1-2.
