A recent post mentioned the impressive number of Bears who have captained college lacrosse teams. It was thought that the available was accurate and much to our surprise, there were significant omissions.
Landon is preparing a pamphlet with major points of Bear lacrosse history. Here are the records which we have–PLEASE, PLEASE send in any additions or corrections.
DO NOT BE BASHFUL; the goal is to have as complete a record as possible:
