Hood College Mens Lacrosse’s “Fall Ball” pre-season came to an end October 8 after their annual play-day, which featured two scrimmages against Division II Alderson Broaddus out of West Virginia and junior college Potomac State.

Hood was victorious in both of their games, defeating Alderson Broaddus 17 – 6, and Potomac State 12 – 6. Hood’s starting lineup played in the first game of the day against Alderson Broaddus, while the reserves took on Potomac State in the second.

Hood scrimmaged Alderson Broaddus during their play-day last year as well, with that game finishing in a 9 – 9 tie, showing that the Blazers’ starting squad has improved since then.

Coach Brad Barber was happy with his team’s undefeated pre-season performance, saying that, “We came out smooth, we came out hungry… We had a lot of good contributions across the board, so it’s hard for me to pick three or four [players] because I’m so pleased with how we played.”

In addition to their play-day scrimmages, Hood also hosted an Alumni game, which featured former players and graduates. The Alumni game, which was previously an annual staple of the Blazers’ pre-season, had not been played in two years. The return of the game was met with excitement and enthusiasm from fans and players alike.
