Neagle did not respond to requests for comment on the upcoming season. In their three matches in the fall, [...]

After subpar seasons in the fall, the Tigers enter the spring season looking to play to the level of which they’re capable. “These players and the coaching staff know that we, as a unit, did not live up to our capabilities in the fall,” Men’s Head Coach Brian Yaniger said. “Our goal is to do what we are capable of doing, and I think if that happens, it’ll work out just fine.” The men’s team [...]

The 2011 Towson baseball team made significant strides from its 2010 campaign, finishing just short of a Colonial Athletic Association Tournament berth. With a young but experienced roster, including 10 newcomers, the team hopes to continue that pattern of improvement in 2012. “I love the talent level of this team,” Head Coach Mike Gottlieb said. “But early on, we’re going to lack experience.

With their season opener just days away, the Tigers plan on taking things one step at a time. That first step comes Feb. 21, when Oregon comes to Johnny Unitas Stadium for the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

Following a rough 3-10 2011 campaign, changes had to be made if the Tigers wanted a more successful season in 2012. When Shawn Nadelen was hired in May to replace Tony Seaman as the head coach, he immediately implemented a different culture for the Towson lacrosse program. “Coach Nadelen brought in this mentality of ‘We’re going to change the way Towson lacrosse plays.’ We all just followed him and he’s a winner, so he’s leading [...]
