The UAlbany men’s lacrosse team is set to face Sacred Heart in a first-ever meeting between the two teams. As a result of winning the America East championship and securing an NCAA tournament spot, the Great Danes will host one more game at home this season. Graduate long-stick midfielder Jake Piseno expressed the team’s desire for more than just the conference title, stating their goal to advance further in the tournament.
