Texas College Men’s Lacrosse: Sam Houston State Men’s Lacrosse (MCLA Div. II) 2010 Schedule Has Tough MCLA Division I Opponents In Baylor, Oklahoma, Rice, Texas Tech And Texas A&M

Posted on January 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

The Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association ranked Sam Houston State’s lacrosse team at number 16 in the Adidas Top 23 poll.

The Bearkats begin the 2010 season on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 1 p.m. against Baylor University at Pritchett Field. Head coach Joe Fritts has high expectations and is happy with the team’s place in the poll.

Date Opponent Result
2/20 BAYLOR 1:00 pm
2/21 OKLAHOMA 11:00 am
2/27 at Centenary (LA) 4:00 pm
3/06 AUSTIN 2:00 pm
3/08 KENNESAW STATE 6:30 pm
3/10 RICE 7:00 pm
3/27 vs. Trinity (TX) 4:00 pm
3/28 at Texas Tech 1:00 pm
3/31 TEXAS A&M 7:00 pm
4/10 at St. Edward’s 1:00 pm
4/11 at Texas – San Antonio 11:00 am
4/17 STEPHEN F. AUSTIN 1:00 pm
Coach: Joe Fritts

“It’s big for the kids, big for the school and the program which is going through yearly transformations,” Fritts said in a statement released on the team’s website. “I’ve never taken preseason polls too serious but then again, I’ve never been a part of an organization that received a national ranking. It’s exciting.”

In 1980, Fritts, who at the time was a freshman at Sam Houston State, petitioned the university to form its first lacrosse program. He served as coach along with Patrick Levantino and built a winning tradition during the 80s.

In 1984, Sam Houston played in its second consecutive championship of the Southwest Lacrosse Association (now LSA). The Bearkats returned to the championship in 1986 but they were defeated by Texas Tech for the third straight time.

Sam Houston finished last season as Division II Champions when they defeated Centenary College at Texas A&M. Coach Fritts returned to the team this past fall to bring the winning attitude back to the program.

This season is anticipated to be more exciting as the Kats plan to capture a Conference Championship. Sam Houston will go against five opponents from the MCLA Division I bracket; Baylor, Oklahoma, Rice, Texas Tech and Texas A&M.

“We definitely have our hands full with this schedule,” Fritts said. “Tough back to back games and some high level games with just a few days off. It’s going to be challenging but well worth it. We’re going to learn a lot about what kind of talent we do or don’t have, and most importantly what kind of character this team is made of.”
