UMLL Week 1

Action in the Upper Midwest Lacrosse League finally gets underway this weekend – Saturday, Feb. 5 – and the first game of the season could not come sooner for the University of Minnesota-Duluth and coach Frank Clark.
“I think finally is the right word,” Clark said. “We’re excited to get going. I think the guys and staff are really excited to get into a competitive setting. We’re excited to see another team other than us.”
The Bulldogs will travel down to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and will host Marquette University at Augsburg College in a UMLL conference Division I matchup.
“A goal for us is to win the UMLL Championship,” Clark said. “It’s a conference game and they’re always tough. It’s important to get in there and get after it. Our number one goal is to be successful against conference opponents and this is the first opportunity.”
This opportunity comes after late night practices, inter-team scrimmages and conditioning training.
“Excited would be an understatement,” Clark said. “Every time you put on a game jersey is a privilege. You’re playing for the school and your teammates which excites you. They’re ready to go and to put the pieces together that we’ve been working on.”
