Andrew Whitley and the Bellarmine men’s lacrosse team have spent a lot of time thinking about time this spring. Ninety days since the team played its first game in 330 days, all they want is four more days together.
The Knights have even come up with a slogan to sum up the quest: Four months for 100 hours.
To get that, they need to make the SoCon tournament, a feat that’s within reach and that the program has only achieved twice in in its 15-year history. To get there and secure the fourth and final spot, Bellarmine (4-10, 1-4 SoCon) needs to defeat Mercer (5-7, 2-3) on Saturday in Louisville, a couple hours before the Kentucky Derby takes place at Churchill Downs — five miles west of Owsley B. Frazier Stadium. Richmond, the top seed in the SoCon who will host the tournament next week, also has to take care of business against Air Force.
