BEL AIR, Md. - The Harford men's lacrosse has released its schedule ahead of the 2022 season.

Fresh off an appearance in the 2021 NJCAA National Championship and back-to-back Region 20 championships, the Fighting Owls return with five scrimmages and a 11 regular season contests.

Harford is led by a trio of returners in NJCAA All-American Cayden Onagi as well as All-Region 20 members Zach Sheppard and Taz DeLaney. Flanking these three are second year standouts Everett Campbell, Chris Greenstein, Nate Surd, and Dylan Hines. Harford will have a hole to fill at goalie after losing Jason Roland (Wilmington University) and Aden Walsh (Georgia Swarm). Jacob Lotz looks to be in the lead for the starting spot so far this preseason. With a strong blend of returners and fresh faces, Harford will once again be expected to advance deep into the postseason.

All 2022 home games will be live streamed at harfordathletics.com/watch.
