In the recent wake of one of the most tumultuous, fruitless, and acerbic calendar years in recent memory for Arizona State athletics, the offseason is proving to be no salve for the athletic departments’ woes.
Tim McCormack, the man who elevated Sun Devil Women’s Lacrosse to unprecedented heights, announced his departure from the program to become the next head coach for the women’s lacrosse team at Johns Hopkins University.
The news is bittersweet for Arizona State. There is no question this a vertical move for McCormack, and that should be celebrated for someone who created the blueprint and laid the groundwork for a program on the rise.
