Nearly a year ago, the men’s lacrosse team stood tied with Syracuse at 15 apiece as the seconds ticked down. Head coach Jeff Tambroni called a timeout with just seconds on the clock. Junior co-captain Max Seibald, then a title-less sophomore, looked at his coach and simply asked for the ball. It wasn’t a Keyshawn Johnson “gimme-the-damn-ball” statement, it was merely Seibald exhibiting his developing leadership and confidence.
Sure enough, even though he had had a quite game in a match full of offensive fireworks and highlight-reel saves, Seibald beat his defender and netted the game-winner.
