Frank Fedorjaka learned earlier than just about anyone in college lacrosse what playing in a pandemic would be like.
The Bucknell coach saw his team’s game scheduled for March 7, 2020, at Boston University pushed back a day multiple times as the Terriers dealt with multiple illnesses within their program, a flurry of primitive COVID-19 tests that took two or three days to produce results and increasing demands from cautious university administrators.
The game was never played, and the season was canceled within a week. So when Bucknell had games against four different opponents over three weekends canceled early this season, Fedorjaka had a familiar feeling.

Three games made up the men’s DI calendar Sunday two involving Top 20 teams. Check the Scoreboard for full stats.
Villanova consistently had an answer in an 11-8 Big East win at Providence.
Eric Overbay (3G, 3A) had a career day, Keegan Khan played at his consistently great level (3G, 2A), and Will Vitton (16 saves) was sharp and helped hold off Providence spurts.
Two goals in the opening four minutes, from Patrick Daly and Khan, put Villanova on the map with an efficient start. Vitton played well early, with five saves in the opening frame, keeping the two teams neck and neck. Providence got one back after Vitton stopped an outside shot, but in a scrum in front of the net Matt Leader knocked it in.
