Team England is currently training for the 2014 FIL Men’s World Championships, hosted by US Lacrosse, scheduled for July 10-19 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Denver. As part of its preparations, Team England will tour across New England over the course of the next week to face Dartmouth, UMass, Harvard, Boston University, Brown and Bryant beginning this Saturday, Oct. 19.

The Crimson will also be in action this weekend when it travels to West Point, N.Y., for scrimmages against Army and St. John’s.

Should weather force the event inside to Foley Athletic Center, it will be closed to the public due to safety issues.
