After going undefeated through the regular season, the Brock Badgers men’s lacrosse team wants to make history repeat itself.<\/p>\n
The Badgers will open the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association playoffs Sunday, Oct. 29 at 1 p.m. when the team hosts the Laurier Golden Hawks on Brock\u2019s Alumni Field in the first round.<\/p>\n
Brock heads into the playoffs with a perfect 12-0 regular season record, an achievement the men\u2019s lacrosse program hasn\u2019t pulled off since 2009, when it last won a Baggataway Cup national championship. The University has one of the most decorated lacrosse programs in the country with 18 CUFLA titles in its 31-year history.<\/p>\n
In addition to the perfect record, this year\u2019s Badgers squad set both a team and CUFLA single-season record with 232 goals scored.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re happy with the season we’ve had to date,\u201d said first-year head coach Tim Luey. \u201cFinishing 12-0 is no small feat, but going into the season our team goal was not just to go undefeated or finish first place. We have a group of veteran players that are excited to get back into the playoffs and compete for our real goal of a national championship.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Badgers had five players in the Top 25 of CUFLA scoring led by Brandon Slade who registered a career-high 86 points (28 goals, 58 assists) in 12 games. He became just the second player in school history to record 300 points in a career.<\/p>\n
Tyrus Rehanek finished 12th in league with 46 points, Kurtis Woodland had 39 points, Connor Ham had 34 points and rookie Connor Brown added 33.<\/p>\n
The Badgers also have one of the top defensive units in the league led by two-time CUFLA Defensive Player of the Year, Parker Baile, along with Joshua Harris, Adam Kirchmayer, Adam Mackinnon and rookie standout Latrell Harris, who also plays in the National Lacrosse League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
