A big advantage we could have is if the coaches would get alumni more connected to the players for internships and jobs. The education is fine but nothing special. Most players graduate without any help from the program and are left to hunt for themselves. I think that is not the reason freshman leave but its something we can work on

Laxbro - totally agree. To that point Pete Zonino ('14) started a Hobart Lacrosse - Professional Network Linkedin group that spotlights player resumes and connects them to alumni. I'm not as familiar with the recent crop of lacrosse grads as you likely are, but feel free to pass along the group link (below) or encourage them to reach out to me directly (also below). We're happy to connect and help.
Nothing but positive memories as I reflect on my time at Hobart both on and off the field. Feel lucky to have had Sean Regan ('13) and Brandon Baer ('07) help me land my first internship. Important to know that we have a great network, and are all happy to help pay it forward!
As it relates to this forum, I wonder if it behooves us to have a greater sense of camaraderie, togetherness and support for the team and program. Obviously a tough couple of seasons, with some very frustrating moments, but feel like its our duty to continue to build up and support the program instead of tearing it down.
