2011 Schedule Released

September 27th, 2010

Bearkats step things up in 2011 with 16 games; 7 of which will be OOC (Out of Conference) games.Â “You have to play teams from other parts of the country to be taken serious and maintain a national ranking,” said Coach Fritts.Â Four of the OOC games will be against teams that should come out with pre-season rankings in the Top 20.Â Last year the Bearkats ended up #22.Â Coach added “We think we’ve done a good job in balancing the schedule with the OOC games, our in conference Division II games and the added Div I competition.”Â Two other games are still pending and won’t be listed until confirmed.

Sam Houston opens up with Centenary College on February 12 in Huntsville.Â The KATS beat the GENTS last season for the Lone Star Alliance Div II Championship.Â Some heavy travel is coming as Sam Houston will find themselves in Georgia, Tennessee and Michigan during the regular season. They will travel locally (in Texas) for six games and host five opponents in Huntsville.

Fall Ball Schedule

August 10th, 2010

The Bearkats begin practice on Wednesday, September 1st as they prepare to defend their Lone Star Alliance championship and make another run for the national tournament in May – 2011!Â “Exciting” said Coach Fritts.Â “This is all incredibly exciting.Â Last year was great exposure for us and coming back to Sam Houston this fall, with that national experience behind us, it just has everyone pumped and ready to start working hard and playing some ball!”

According to Coach, “Fall Ball”Â is some what informal for the Kats.Â It’s all about seeing who is going to come out, how they’re going to jell with the other players, both new and old.Â “We’re just about at our magic number of 10 new players joining the program this Fall.Â We’ll see how they all get along, who compliments who, what synergies are there and with whom.Â With talented players, it’s just a matter of finding the right matches. You can teach the game… you can teach strategy… you can’t teach synergy and Lacrosse IQ.Â You either have it or you don’t.”

Here is what the Fall has in store and come support your KAT Lacrosse Team!
