Stay focused. Next shot is all that matters. Be ready. For the last nine months, though, like pretty much every other college lacrosse coach, Galloway and his staff have had to help their players navigate a landscape unlike any they’ve encountered previously, and one that is landmarked by uncertainty. ....
