CLINTON, S.C. – On the heels of the program's highest Big South Conference efficiency rating last year that came with their first 3-1 start in league play, the Presbyterian College lacrosse team has revealed its upcoming spring schedule, the 17^th in school history.

Officially uncovered by head coach Eric Clakeley – who'll ride in his fifth season with the Blue Hose in 2024 – the squad will feature in 16 matches with eight apiece between home and away designations. The slate will begin on February 10 at Bailey Memorial Stadium for a showdown with Stetson.

"We're very excited about our team's capabilities this season", remarked Clakeley with just under two months until showtime. "Being able to play non-conference games in Georgia and New Hampshire is a very cool opportunity for some of our students to play close to home, and we feel that there's a really solid blend of home and away meetings that will help this team get stronger in a hurry".



Four of the team's first six encounters will be held from Clinton, with the aforementioned contest against the Hatters landing as the first time that PC will open up a season on their home base since 2020 (Clakeley's debut year with the university).

From there, the Blue Hose will hit the road for a pair in a nine-day stretch. They'll move to Kennesaw State on Feb. 15 for matchup number two before battling Xavier on the 24^th for the second consecutive campaign, although this time in Ohio.

Returning to Bailey for three in a row – a sequence that didn't take place last spring – Presbyterian will welcome UMass Lowell, Akron, and Rider in an ultra-busy week with that entire trio taking place over a five-day window.

The pay-off for PC's home-heavy opening will result in a three-match period as the visitors, making a long trip upward to face Southern New Hampshire on March 16. Three days later, Central Connecticut will host coach Clakeley's unit, segueing into the Big South opener versus reigning conference champion Mercer on the 27^th in Macon.

From that point, every remaining duel will occur in league territory. Both Longwood and Furman will enter Bailey Stadium on March 30 and April 6 before the Blue Hose head to High Point on the 10^th to reach the halfway tab of the eight-game divisional layout.

Split evenly among home and road settings for the final four regular season dates, PC will take an April 13 trip to Gardner-Webb ahead of their last two clashes from Clinton against Radford (Apr. 20) and Winthrop (Apr. 24).

The '24 finale, while not held at home, will instead come to fruition just down the road in Spartanburg for an April 27 rivalry renewal with Wofford. Closing the slate against the Terriers, Presby saw the opposite end of the spectrum last time out by kicking off the conference schedule against that same club in a 12-8 victory.

Should PC end the year as one of the top four teams in the Big South standings, they'll earn a ticket to the conference tournament beginning on May 3. The Blue Hose assembled a final record of 6-11 in 2023, with five of those W's taking place whenever the team played the visiting role.
