Men’s Lacrosse Announces 2024 Schedule

MACON, GA - Mercer men's lacrosse head coach Ryan Danehy announced the regular season schedule for the 2024 season. The Bears will play a 14-game regular season slate that features six home games at Five Star Stadium, seven away games, and one neutral site game in Atlanta, Georgia.

"We are really happy to unveil the 2024 schedule," said Danehy. "Much like last year's schedule, we wanted to make sure we challenge ourselves with our out-of-league opponents to best prepare us for the many looks we face during the ASUN season. This year will feature a return to the High Point/Mercer rivalry in the first game of the 2024 Division I season and my first-night game as a head coach this spring at home versus Utah. We're also excited to play UNC in Atlanta in an incredible doubleheader showcase with Army/UMass playing before us. We see two new opponents as we host Hampton and Le Moyne in their inaugural Division I season, and we're excited to head north for Army in the historic Miche Stadium. Overall, we're looking forward to the many challenges the 2024 season awaits us starting February 2nd!"
