Good point Ply. However, one could also say that the change to lax was a good choice because UR could make great strides to relevance with similar effort that was producing nothing in the replaced sports. No doubt to me that based on geography the students that attend UR are more likely to play high level lax.There are also only 73 D1 lacrosse teams. There are 206 D1 soccer teams. So being in the prestigious “top 25” in lacrosse means a whole lot less than top 25 in basketball or soccer.
As a local fan, I can tell you seeing some of the power lax schools coming to Robins is more appealing than a track meet.
