Molloy is always considering ways to expand its athletics program to meet the interests of its current students. This year, for the first time, Molloy has introduced Boys Varsity Lacrosse! Coached by Mr. Joe Beaudet with the help of Mr. Chris Adamek, the team roster consists of 33 players from all four class years.
The idea to create a boys lacrosse team first popped up earlier this school year. Students, administration, and the athletics department all felt that there was enough interest and talent to officially create the team and compete in the CHSAA B Division. The team mostly plays within this division against four other schools in the Brooklyn/Queens Diocese. Although new, Mr. Beaudet has high hopes for the players on his team. “I think considering that about 90% of the players had never played lacrosse before,” says Mr. Beaudet, “to be considered competitive is a success. The amount of development and progress from December to now is huge.”
The boys are showing high levels of enthusiasm for the season, and are even more excited to play most of their home games at St. John’s University! Mr. Beaudet says he and the boys feel “fortunate to play on that field, considering St. John’s has a Division 1 men's lacrosse team.” The team especially enjoys having fellow Stanners come out and support them on game days, so make sure to go and cheer on Molloy’s newest team!
If you have any questions or interest regarding Molloy’s new boys lacrosse team, please reach out to Mr. Beaudet.
