ALBANY The UAlbany men’s lacrosse team gets a turbo boost on offense this weekend.
The defense, meanwhile, has already hit its stride, based on how the back line performed in a 15-9 victory over Colgate at Fallon Field last Saturday.
The Great Danes returned 11 players to the lineup this week after they had missed the season opener because of COVID-19 protocols, among them Tehoka Nanticoke and Graydon Hogg.
So when UAlbany plays Hartford Saturday on the road at noon, the Hawks face a daunting challenge stopping a starting attack that includes Nanticoke, Jakob Patterson and freshman Camden Hay.

The man and boy responded in kind.
On a gray, clammy day at Fallon Field, this is how the UAlbany Great Danes introduced themselves to the 2021 men’s lacrosse team season, with some new faces in front of almost no faces.
Playing for the first time in almost a year, UAlbany shrugged off Colgate 15-9 at Fallon Field, fueled by a familiar performance from post-graduate attack Jakob Patterson, who had four goals and four assists.
