TAMPA, Fla. - The University of Tampa men's lacrosse team will face off against the No. 5 Adelphi University Panthers on Friday night at the Naimoli Family Athletic and Intramural Complex.
The No. 8 Spartans are 1-0 and coming off a season-opening victory over the Tusculum College Pioneers, by a score of 17-9. Tampa provides a balanced approach as seven different players have scored for UT, leading the offense are Conor Whipple with five goals and four assists and freshman Andrew Kew, who has notched five goals of his own.
The No. 5 Panthers are looking to open up the season with a road trip to Florida with the first stop being Tampa, and then they will head to Lakeland, Fla. to square off with the Florida Southern College Mocs. AU's squad is young, but not without firepower as Salvatore Tuttle returns after leading the team in goals, assists and points last season.
Tampa has another game on tap for this weekend, as it welcomes Walsh University for a Sunday contest at 1 p.m. The Cavaliers will meet Florida Southern on Friday night to open their 2016 campaign.
Game time is set for 7 p.m. Live stats, as well as a web broadcast, will be available for fans to follow the action via TampaSpartans.com.
