April 9, 2007

BEVERLY, MA - The Endicott College men's lacrosse team has finally cracked the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association's (USILA) Coaches Poll, standing as the nation's 20th ranked team.

Endicott is currently 8-1 overall and 4-0 in the Commonwealth Coast Conference. The Gulls have scored impressive wins over Springfield College and Bowdoin College, while dropping a tough 9-6 decision to the 3rd ranked Wesleyan University Cardinals for their only loss of the year. The Gulls are amongst the most elite in the nation on defense, only allowing 4.9 goals against per game, the fourth best average in the country. On the other end of the field the Blue and Green rank 17th, notching an average of 12.8 goals per game on offense.

Endicott returns to action on Wednesday night as they travel to Meford, MA to take on 6th ranked Tufts University. The Gulls and the Jumbos face-off at 7:00 PM.
