I guess you are referring to 0-5.

0-5

All 5 losses by double digits

Someone told me today that the coach left unexpectedly and took s bunch of players and recruits with her. New coach had no chance to recruit. They are very shorthanded apparently. It happens.

Yep…sorta - think an Asst Coach went as well.

* 4 Ex-Paladins on the 4-4 BeachChickens roster.
* 2 are GR’s though…so they may not have been willing/able to stay anyway.
* The other 2 were youngsters - now Soph’s - 1 isn’t showing any info…so don’t know how much of a contributor she was / woulda been, but the other one is obviously a stud(ette?) - 1st Team All Conf., FR of the year, etc.

Not sure about the recruiting cycle / timing / efforts expended by old/new staff…but, obviously & definitely a rebuilding year. Probably a good year for it though…during the transition from the SoCon to the Big South (because the SoCon ‘opted out’ of sponsoring WLAX).

The whole coaching staff left for Coastal ( HC and both assistants). HC position was not filled for months. This program unlike mens lacrosse was successful from the beginning. It is a shame they have fallen to this level.Leaving the team without any coaches for months prior to the start of the season was a real head scratcher.

yep. Ditto all above... this one is filed under the "take one for the Team" in 2022

Plus the old coach scheduled the non-conf season against many top programs!

Thanks coach.. may your days at Coastal be filled with bailing kids of of jail after partying too much on he beach!

FU took a chance and gave her a HC job. No good turn goes unpunished I guess. She did a good job here as opposed to the ridiculous hire of the mens coach - a guy who had seen better days and completely screwed up the program’s start. Lacrosse is a great sport for Furman for many reasons but that one critical mistake torpedoed the program.

A common phrase that is used in coaching searches is "one name keeps popping up with all we spoke with"

well. duh... if the source is a person with ties to a certain program, do you think they will recommend a person that will beat them?

Great investment !
1. Exists only due to Title IX
2. Contributes nothing to our historical footprint
3. Hand is continually out to get more free stuff at the expense of other sports
4. Got some great offices by helping kill another sport.

I give no money to anything but the FFPA for this reason.

They beat Wofford!

Let's not forget there are 21 smart and bright young women that contribute to making Furman a better university by just being there.

Gotta hand it to the Ladies after a very sad 0-5 start, two impressive wins in the Conference

Ladies look good! Big road match vs Longwood this week

WLAX is the new baseball so best just get over it

Supposedly we had to sacrifice 75 bright young men for thrm. I said supposedly. Whats fair about that?

That was not the reason.
