Moeller Lacrosse Starts Tough Schedule with a Win
Moeller Lacrosse opened their season with a big win against South Oldham at home on Friday, March 15th, followed by a loss to Olentangy Liberty the next day.
The Moeller Lacrosse team will be challenged this year by playing arguably the hardest schedule in the Midwest. This includes Culver Academy (IN), ranked first in the country; Western Reserve Academy, ranked at 23; Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day (MO); Kiski Prep (PA); Shady Side Academy (PA); and Upper Arlington High School.
Moeller Lacrosse is led by three senior captains: Ryan Miller, Bo Hegarty, and Brennen Hickey. Alongside those three, Moeller has strong leadership coming from both the upper and underclassmen.
