    KUA Boys' Lacrosse: Tradition. Sportsmanship. Excellence

    Program Philosophy
    Our goal is to prepare our student-athletes to be ready for the college experience and life after lacrosse. Our approach is process driven focusing on academics, character, leadership, and competition. KUA lacrosse players are expected to: put their academics first; do the right thing when no one is watching; play a second sport; be involved in a non-athletic activity; and hold teammates accountable for actions on and off the field. We believe winning is a result of this process and always strive to “Play Like a Wildcat!”

    Facilities
    KUA boasts some of New England’s top lacrosse facilities. In 2018, Pope Field was resurfaced with a state-of-art lighted FieldTurf surface. “The Barn” is Kimball Union’s 80’x60’ indoor facility. Complete with FieldTurf and heat, “The Barn” gives KUA student-athletes a space to train in all weather conditions. Most KUA lacrosse players spend one season doing Strength & Conditioning in the Silver Gymnasium. The Strength Program is overseen by a certified strength and conditioning specialist.
     
    Opponents
    Kimball Union participates in the Lakes Region against Brewster Academy, Holderness School, New Hampton School, St. Paul’s School, Proctor Academy, Tilton School, and Vermont Academy. The schedule also includes non-conference opponents such as Exeter, Andover, Cushing, Lawrence Academy, Brooks, NMH, and Portsmouth Abbey. KUA takes a spring training trip each year to the Mid-Atlantic where they compete against top-quality competition from the region.

  • KUA battles Brewster to close 10-7 loss

    er
    KUA hosted league leading Brewster Academy. Brewster scored three quick goals in the first quarter before KUA found their scoring touch.  At the half, Brewster’s lead had been cut to 4-3. KUA tied the score 4-4 early in the third quarter and then fought back again in the 4th quarter to even the score again at 7-7 with eight minutes still remaining in the game. Brewster scored the final three goals to win 10-7.
     
    The KUA defense became increasingly sure footed as the game progressed. Jack McCarthy shut down Brewster’s most dangerous scoring threat while Greg Surgenor and Vasili Katsarakes managed to keep their marks from getting clear top-side shots. Goalie Nick Parker recorded 12 saves in his best game of the year. Long pole Owen Manley, along with middie defensive players Cam Beecy, Dylan van Leuwen-Hall,and Andrew Robertello, took away the middle and doubled effectively in front of the cage. Beecy won 51% of the face-offs against one of the top face-off specialist in the league. On offense, KUA's Eric Megnia had 1 goal and 3 assists while Kenny Speak scored two and assisted on one.  Will Harrigan, Mike Lombardi, Gavin black, Sam Erb, and Andrew Robertello scored the other Wildcat goals. Lomabardi also recorded one assist. 
     
    KUA (8-6 overall and 4-3 in the LRL) ends the regular season in third place behind New Hampton and Brewster. The Wildcats travel to New Hampton on Wednesday to play in the Lakes Region League semifinals.

Kenny Speak was key as the Wildcats got back on track with good skill and athleticism, especially in the transition game. Owen Manley and Cam Beecy showed their strength and hustle, as the face-off team won 53% of the restarts. Will Harrigan scored three and assisted on another to pace the KUA offense. Mike Lombardi and Eric Megnia assisted on two and one goals respectively. Sam Erb, Dylan van Leuwen-Hall, and Gavin Black scored the other Wildcat goals.
