JACKSON, MS- Millsaps Men's Lacrosse is excited to announce the official release of their 2015 schedule. 

Head coach John Hoeffler enters his second season at the helm of the Majors and while the Majors open with a six-game home stand, it features some talented teams from across the nation.

"We open the season with our toughest 4 game stretch in program history. Welcoming in Piedmont, Huntingdon, and Southwestern, all 2014 opponents is going to be a great test in preparation for the season," coach Hoeffler said. 

In addition to this tough southern stretch, Goucher out of Maryland offers a challenge as well on February 13th. 

"Coach Kelly has put together a talented ball club up in Maryland," Hoeffler said. "Goucher is a club that will be sure to help us get ready for a tough SAA schedule.

The Majors head to Saint Louis and Indiana before starting SAA play with a neutral site game versus Fontbonne at Christian Brothers in Saint Louis and a true road game at former SCAC foe DePauw out of Indiana. 

"We are excited for our road trip," said Hoeffler. "We get to play at the high school of sophomore Riley McLean. Riley comes from a very decorated  program in CBC and we are looking to continue our great relationship with Coach Condon and the Cadets."

Conference play opens with a road test at Birmingham Southern. After hosting Hendrix on March 21st, the Majors will head to Sewanee and Centre before a three-game homestand closes out the regular season. 

"Our team goal for my program does not and will not change each year," Hoeffler said.  " It is  to win a Conference Championship to earn the AQ to the NCAA Tournament to pursue our goal of a National Championship. The strength of our out-of-conference schedule will continue to get tougher each year as our recruiting classes become stronger and stronger."

Millsaps opens the 2015 season with a home date with Piedmont on February 7th.
