Men’s lacrosse will have a lofty challenge when it hosts its first ever tournament game Saturday, as the Golden Eagles will welcome perennial powerhouse North Carolina.
“One thing I know, they don’t want to come out to Wisconsin,” Jake Richard said. “I can’t wait to get them, punch them in the mouth and welcome them to Milwaukee.”
The Golden Eagles weren’t waiting to find out if they made the tournament Sunday night, since they earned an automatic qualifier by winning the BIG EAST Tournament. The question was whether or not they’d host a game, a luxury given to the top eight seeds in the tournament.
