Lacrosse season kicks off this weekend. First game is actually now rescheduled to Sunday at 1:00 vs Holy Cross. Just too cold on Saturday.
PC picked to finish 5th in preseason poll.
Small preseason write-up:
Bobby Benson takes the reins at Providence, looking to get the Friars back to the Big East Championship for the first time since 2017.
Fifth-year Matt Grillo, a consistent top player in the Big East, will be crucial for his leadership and goal-scoring ability. He had 36 goals and nine assists in 2022. Jack Horrigan is a left-handed shooter at attack.
Chris Cusolito is a tough, two-way midfielder, and Michael Chabra has a good shot on the run. Sophomore Ryan Bell finished second behind Grillo in points, and showcased himself as one of the best feeding midfielders with 34 assists.
Quinn McConnaughy won 49.7% of draws last season.
Michael Hughes has a good stick at LSM, and Grant Latimer has size at close. James Corasaniti, a fifth-year from Fairfield, could see time in net.
With a fresh start, freshmen will earn time. Thomas Sarni (St. John’s Prep, Mass.) is a tough lefty at attack. Tyler Flynn (Ward Mellville, N.Y.) has size and physicality, Dan Metzger (Carey, N.Y.) is an athlete, and Owen Finetto (Saint Joseph’s Regional, N.J.) has potential to create. Defenders Eric Webb (Westfield, N.J.) and Frankie Carroll (Ward Melville, N.Y.) could challenge for time.

Lose at Brown 13-7. Played well for most of the game. Turnovers and losing face-offs hurt them.

Friars lose at #12 St. Josephs 19-6. Friars actually got off to a 3-0 lead, and then it was all downhill. Friars have a huge issue at face-off, they only won 2 out of 28 face-offs in entire game - yes 2. Hard to win when you never really have the ball....

Friars lose at #10 Georgetown 13-11. PC played very well in this game, and gave a good Georgetown team a scare.

PC survives (barely....) and beats St. Johns 12-11 in OT. The win gets them into the Big East Tournament as the #4 seed. They'll play #1 Georgetown in Milwaukee.
