BLACKSBURG – After a busy summer of camps, recruiting and coaching a professional franchise, the Baltimore Ride, Head Coach John Sung is excited to be back in his office in the Jamerson Athletic Center in Blacksburg to start molding the 2019 version of his Hokies lacrosse team.
"Getting the kids out on the field together again after the summer is always fun and they've looked good so far," said Sung. "We've got to get the new kids up to speed on our system and the way we play, so that is going to be the focus this semester.
We have a lot of opportunities to play some other quality teams and test ourselves so I'm looking forward to it and we are excited to see our student-athletes rise to the challenge."
The fall training regimen includes conditioning, time in the weight room, traditional lacrosse practice and even yoga sessions.
Tech's 2018 fall schedule feature dates against four squads that made the 2018 NCAA Tournament including Georgetown who the Hokies defeated in the First Round 13-10 in May.
