Amherst men’s lacrosse experienced its lowest point in the spring of 2020 after a series of team-involved incidents came to light. Leadership changes ensued and a 2021 postseason probation was levied.
Since May, when Rashad Devoe was hired to be the program’s next coach, he’s worked to redevelop the program’s culture.
