"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."
