In the previous season, Western\u2019s lacrosse team missed the conference playoffs by a razor-thin tie-breaking vote. However, the team only graduated two seniors while they brought in a slew of first-year players for the upcoming season. This new youth in the program have a chance to set a foundation for success over the next few seasons. The Wolves take the field for the first time on Feb. 9 against UC Davis at a neutral site in Ashland.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2018-19 season for the Men\u2019s rugby program has been a historic year for the club. During the fall season, the Wolves were unstoppable after rebounding from a narrow loss on Oct. 7 against reigning conference champions Central Oregon Community College. While there is still a lot of rugby left to play, the Wolves have already obtained a bid to the Challenge Cup for the regional championships after being chosen to host the tournament. The Wolves hope to right the path on Feb. 2 after losing their first match in over a month on Jan. 26 against Oregon State<\/span><\/p>\n

After being a club for barely one year, the women\u2019s soccer club has already shown they\u2019re not too young to dominate. The club was started during the middle of the 2017-2018 school year and only played a handful of matches before the end of the season. However, during the fall of 2018, the Wolves showed they meant business. Western dominated their opponents in every game, earning them an undefeated record as well as a small school championship win before losing in the overall championship game. The Wolves first spring match is set for Feb. 9 against Portland State University.<\/span><\/p>\n
