Jackson, MS - The Millsaps men's lacrosse team is excited to announce their schedule release for the 2016 season.

The new schedule will include eight games played here at Millsaps at Harper Davis Field.  Additionally, there will be eight away games and one neutral site game.

The 2016 season will feature a number of familiar Southern Athletic Association opponents, as well as some new out-of-conference competition.  The Majors will play Birmingham-Southern, Sewanee and Centre all at home for conference play.  Conference games against Hendrix, Rhodes, Berry and Oglethorpe will all be played on the road.

Millsaps begins out-of-conference play at Piedmont on Feb. 7th, 2016.  Non-conference opponents played at home in 2016 will include Hope, Huntingdon, Hanover, Fontbonne and Defiance.  Non-conference games against Southwestern, Dallas and Centenary will all take place on the road.

"We start the season with a tough set of nonconference games," Head Men's Lacrosse Coach John Hoeffler said.  "It's a good test for our young team as we enter this season."

This year's schedule also includes a neutral site game against Daniel Webster at Christian Brothers in Memphis, Tennessee.

"We're excited to play a neutral site game in Memphis," Coach Hoeffler said.  "That's an area we're looking to make a push in regards to recruiting so it's a great opportunity."

The Majors begin preliminary games during 'Fall Ball' season later next month.  Fall Ball games continue on Oct. 17th against University of Louisiana Lafayette and Ole Miss.

"We're looking forward to the challenge of competing next season," Coach Hoeffler said.  "We're excited to get things started with Fall Ball later next month."

Fall Ball games will take place at noon on Oct. 17th and the regular season for the Majors begins Feb. 7th at Piedmont for an 11 am start.
