-SB Lacrosse held its 2013 Alumni Game at LaValle Stadium, which included over 40 alumni in attendance, spanning from the Class of 1978 to the Class of 2012.



Over 40 SB Lacrosse alums attended Alumni Day at LaValle Stadium.  Click on the photo to enlarge.

Before the contest, the team was given a guided tour through the facilities, including a tour of the Locker Room Project, a large-scale fundraiser for the program.



For Phase One of the Locker Room Project, participants were assigned a locker dedicated to their efforts, complete with a plaque and message of their choice above each locker.

Later, the Alumni suited up for an hour-long contest in LaValle Stadium.

The Red Team went on to defeat the White Team by a score of 6-5 to win the 2013 Alumni Game.

Jeff Capri '89 (in goal), an attackman, stepped in cage once again, turning away all shots except six.


The Organization thanks all of the participating alums for their continued support, and also Associate Athletic Director for External Services Rob Emmerich and Coach Nagle for their efforts.

Following the game, alums were invited into the VIP Suite in LaValle Stadium for refreshments and dinner.  The Varsity took on the Albany Great Danes, but fell by a score of 21-12.

The Organization extends very special thanks to those who contributed to the Locker Room Project and those who appeared on Alumni Day for the game and festivities.
