The GW Lacrosse team rallies before the start of their first game of the season against UMBC on Feb. 11.

GW Lacrosse, which began its season Feb. 11 with the new head coach, Colleen McCaffrey, has yet to see a win but has put up a fight worth noting.

The team has shown potential with a strong offense. In two of three games played so far, there were six different goal scorers. The team’s next game will be March 1 at 1 p.m. at American University.

Check out pictures of the team at the first game of their season against University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
