FOJ Day

Jaclyn Murphy of the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation

On April 5, 2014, the Adelphi Women's Lacrosse team will be participating in FOJ Day to support the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. 

Since 2005, the Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life for children and their families who are battling pediatric brain tumors and to raise awareness about this insidious disease. FOJ pairs up children and their families battling pediatric brain tumors with college and high school sports teams. The teams give these children love, support and friendship as they fight this devastating disease. We celebrate each day by creating lasting relationships between student athletes, the child, and their families. This greatly improves the quality of life for children with brain tumors, as well as those who support them.*




To help bring awareness to the world about battling pediatric brain tumors, the Lady Panthers have set up a page for donations for FoJ. To donate to this amazing cause, please click here.

And We're Back! 

My sincerest apologies for the long hiatus. Preseason and travel have kept me off of the blogosphere for longer than I would have liked. With that said, the season must go on!

To recap what's been going on...

1. Preseason: Four words: can't stop, won't stop. Practices were tough (and sometimes long), and with the New York Winter being in full force, the Panthers were both inside and outside all preseason long.

2. Grand Valley State University: Traveling to Michigan was a great first-time Panther experience. It gave the team the chance to bond even more before their season opener. The game was held indoors at Michigan Country Day School due to the inclement weather in the Mitten State. Though the Panthers did not play their best game, they were able to capture their first "W" of the season with a score of 17-3.

3. Lindenwood University: Back outdoors in chilly Missouri, the Lady Panthers battled adversity throughout the game. A halftime score of just 5-5, Adelphi's lowest scoring half since the LIU Post Semi-final game last May, they knew the big and strong Lindenwood team would be tough to beat in the second half. 

The scoring went back and forth throughout the rest of the game, with the Lions even upping Adelphi by two with 14 minutes remaining. 

However, the Panthers dug deep and stayed persistent, scantily coming out with a win. Final score: 13-11 Adelphi. 

4. What's Up Next: The women's lacrosse team will be playing Philadelphia University on Saturday, March 8 at Philadelphia. With a full week of practice ahead, the Panthers will be pushing themselves to make sure they are playing their best every time they step on the field.
