The Lafayette Leopards have opened the season with a 1-2 record, a win over Central Connecticut and losses to Delaware and Princeton the last two weeks before hosting the Villanova Wildcats this weekend. Andy Talley is certainly pleased to be playing the Leopards for the first time of his tenure at Villanova, calling it "a natural game" for his program.
