To the Temple Men's Lacrosse 2020 Senior Class,
There are no words to describe the heartbreak and disappointment of how our first season in the MCLA has ended.
There are also no words to describe how grateful and fortunate we are to have had you 9 young men as a part of our program throughout the last 4 years.
Your commitment to our program has allowed us to make the transition to playing in the MCLA seamless, helping us to earn our first wins and first votes in the polls just two weeks into our first season.
Your personal and team accomplishments on the lacrosse field are many, but your achievements off of the field are what you will be most remembered for.
Collectively, you have helped set the precedent of hard work and dedication that will be crucial to our future success as a program. More importantly, however, the fun-loving spirits brought by each of you to the field every day have indelibly shaped the culture of Temple men's lacrosse for the better.
We will miss you guys tremendously next year, but we wish you all the best in whatever comes next. We know that you will do great because you are Temple Made and Temple Tuff.
While the end of your senior season was taken from you, what can never be taken away are the friendships and memories that you made together as Temple men's lacrosse players. We hope you cherish those memories for many years to come. We also hope that you come back to relive some of those memories on the field with us each year at the alumni game and after party!
From the entire coaching staff, we congratulate you guys on amazing academic and athletic careers. We're very proud to welcome nine more great men as alumni of Temple men's lacrosse.
One more time for old times' sake..."T-U on two! ONE-TWO...T-U!"
