BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech lacrosse team is set to begin their fall season on Sunday at Moseley Practice Field against Radford and Winthrop. It will be the first chance for second year head coach John Sung to evaluate this year’s squad against opposition.

“We’re going to use this fall as preparation for the spring season ahead,” Sung said. “It will be good to get a chance to play against other schools and start to see what this team will look like. I’m looking forward to giving some kids a chance to get on the field and see what they can do.”
