Our women's lacrosse team is having arguably their best season ever. They finished the regular season 12-4 overall (ties program record for wins) and 7-2 in the A10 (new program record for conference wins).

They will be the #2 seed in this week's 6-team Atlantic 10 tournament, earning an automatic bye into Friday's semifinals. #1 seed UMass is the seven-time defending champion, and hasn’t lost an A10 game since 2010.

"FAIRFAX, Va. – George Mason University women's lacrosse head coach Jessy Morgan has announced the program's 2020 schedule, which includes games against three 2019 NCAA Tournament teams and a marquee home contest with defending national champion Maryland.

The Patriots will host eight contests at George Mason Stadium and hit the West Coast for a two-game California swing in February.

In all, Mason's non-conference opponents combined to post an 85-61 record (.582) last season.

'We have put together another challenging schedule this year,' Morgan said. 'I believe that the strength of our non-conference schedule prepared us for the challenges of the A-10 last season. My hope is to continue to build on that progress. We still have a huge hurdle to get over but this year, but we have a wealth of experience and we couldn't be more excited for the season to start.'

Mason opens the season with three-straight home contests, beginning with the contest against the Terrapins on Saturday, February 8. Maryland went 22-1 last season en route to the program's 15th national championship in May."

" ABOUT THE PATRIOTS
Mason is coming off an outstanding 2019 campaign in which the Patriots tied program records for A-10 wins (7) and A-10 Championship seed (2). Led by Morgan, the 2019 A-10 Coach of the Year, the Patriots return 10 of 12 starters from last season's team, including A-10 Rookie of the Year Deanna Balsama and First Team All-A-10 selections Melissa Semkiw and Erin Donoghue."

Can really only go up from that 3-year span!

I went to a handful of lax games when they were still in the CAA, and I remember it being an enjoyable sport to watch live. It's a nice afternoon out if you are in the area.

All The Buzz. What a start to the 2024 season.​

A stifling defensive effort and yet again a potent offensive display led the Mason women’s lacrosse team to a decisive 17-6 win over the visiting Hornets of Delaware State on Monday afternoon.​

With the win, the Patriots have matched the combined win total of the past three seasons and head into conference play red-hot.​

A goal by Kaitlyn Bestick just 36 seconds into the game really set the tone as the Green & Gold dominated from the opening whistle.​ ​ ​ PATRIOT TRIVIA​ ​ With yet another hat trick in Monday’s home win over Delaware State, Shannon Tuozzo continued her hot start to the 2024 spring season for the Mason women’s lacrosse team.​ She has scored three or more goals in six of the Patriots’ seven games this season helping the Green & Gold to one of the best starts in program history.​ With 27 goals already, where does Tuozzo rank nationally in total goals scored?​ ​ Answer: Third.​ After Monday’s win, Tuozzo moved into a tie for third nationally in total goals with 27, ranking behind only Cincinnati’s Camryn Callaghan (33) and Duke’s Katie DeSimone (31).​ ​
