William & Mary Announces 2011 Schedule
from press release
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - William and Mary lacrosse head
coach Christine Halfpenny has announced the Tribe's schedule for
the upcoming 2011 season. The challenging slate features 16
regular-season contests, eight of which will be played at Martin
Family Stadium at Albert-Daly Field.
Highlighting the schedule are seven games against teams that
competed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament, including a contest against
national runner-up Northwestern that will be played at Dallas
Cowboys Stadium on March 19.
The College will open the 2010 campaign at Duke on Feb. 20 before
hosting games against Richmond on Feb. 27 and Boston University on
March 5. Both Duke and Boston University earned berths in the NCAA
Tournament last spring.
W&M will then hit the road for three consecutive games,
beginning with a cross country trip to Oregon on March 11. The
Tribe will then square off against in-state foe Virginia on March
16 before playing five-time national champion Northwestern at
Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
The College will wrap up the non-conference portion of its slate
with three home games, beginning with a contest against Virginia
Tech on March 23. W&M will then square off against Penn State
on March 27 and Navy on March 29.
The Tribe's league slate will get underway at George Mason on April
8 before a home contest against defending Colonial Athletic
Association champion James Madison two days later on April 10.
W&M will host Hofstra (April 15) and Drexel (April 17) the
following weekend before closing out conference play on the road
with contests at Delaware (April 22), Towson (April 24) and Old
Dominion (27). The Tribe has been extremely successful in
regular-season league games the last three seasons and has posted a
15-6 record.
The Tribe will look to qualify for its fourth consecutive CAA
Championship when the league's top four teams compete for the title
on May 5 & 7. The conference's regular-season champion will
host the event.
With 10 starters returning, the Tribe will enter the 2010 season
looking for its fourth consecutive double-digit win season.
