2007 was one of the most successful seasons in NU’s history. The Men’s lacrosse team was the first ever Pioneer Collegiate Lacrosse League (PCLL) team to make the national tournament as an at large bid, the first PCLL team ever to win in the first round of the national tournament, as well as the lowest seed ever to win a first round game in the national tournament, finishing the season ranked #13. NU scored the second highest amount of goals in the nation while ranking second in the nation in goals allowed per game. Unfortunately, all this success couldn’t bring the Huskies their third straight PCLL title as they fell short to the BC Eagles 8-7.

NU graduated 8 integral players in all, but returns a very strong core of young players ready to take the reigns and continue to make NU one of the elite teams in the country. Mike Adamson, Rob Ballerstedt, Jason Knerr & Zak Glaeser will look to continue the high scoring ways of NU’s attack, while Josh Meunier, Brian Schatz, Joe Lawless and Rob Seiler will balance out the offense on midfield. All-American Griffin Knowlton will have to lead a young defense as 3 of 4 starters and goalie from last year all graduated.

It should be a very exciting season for NU lacrosse as they try to recapture the PCLL title and return to the national tournament for the fourth time in four years.
