The MCLA Division II national playoff bracket was just announce Sunday night and the Bearkats get the final seed (#16) and play the defending national champion Tommies of St. Thomas (St Paul, MN).

Coach Fritts had this to say… “I was in bed when I got the phone call about the bracket.  Looked it up online myself and then started putting the scout report on St. Thomas together.  We’re not the same team that lost to Kennesaw State in March.  The guys are much more patient and we’re hitting on all 6 cylinders.  The loss to Texas Tech was one we felt we should have kept the ‘W’ and the win over Texas A&M proves that we can play with some of the best talent in the country.  Our DI schedule this year served its purpose… to prepare us for the tough competition at nationals.”

The game is scheduled for 10am on Tuesday, May 11, 2010.   Field assignment at Dicks Sporting Goods Park is not known at this time.

BEARKATS WIN LONE STAR ALLIANCE DIV II CHAMPIONSHIP!
April 25th, 2010

Sam Houston beat the Gents from Centenary College today (18-3) and made history by winning the school’s first ever Men’s lacrosse championship!

With this win and Conference Championship, Sam Houston will receive the AQ (automatic qualifier) to the national playoffs held in Denver, Colorado.  The team flies out two weeks from today (Sunday) but still doesn’t know who their first opponent will be.  Reason is there are some conferences around the country who have not held their championships yet so the MCLA (national group) cannot finalize the tournament seeding.

More updates are coming!

Congratulations to the Sam Houston State University Men’s Lacrosse Team!!!

2010 Champions!!!!!
