As the snow melts and the weather grows warm enough for people to voluntarily go outside, spring sports are into the second half of their seasons. Here is a look at how Hamilton’s sports teams have fared so far this season and their upcoming events. Shake off that post-eclipse funk by attending a game or following along.
Men’s lacrosse
: The men’s lacrosse team is 6–4 so far this season, with a 3–4 record within the NESCAC, and while they lost their last game, they have won three of their last five.
