Growing Pains

The University of Montana lacrosse team isn’t satisfied with being first; it wants to be the best.
Montana is the defending Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association Division B National Champion. But instead of defending their title this season in Division B, the Grizzlies decided to move to Division A.
Head coach Kevin Flynn said switching leagues has the reigning champs in a peculiar position.
“We get to have a target on our backs and we get to be an underdog this year,” Flynn said. “It is an interesting mix.”
Montana will have its hands full joining the Pacific Northwest Collegiate Lacrosse League, one of the top leagues in the MCLA.
