Lacrosse Looks t o Succeed Under New Head Coach By Zachary Carr ?19 This year, the Prep?s lacrosse team is looking to enjoy another deep playoff run. ?The season has been going well so far,? says first year coach, Sean DeLaney. The Prep has had some tough early season matchups, including a game against last year?s no. 1 ranked team in the country, the Haverford School.
