Lakewood, N.J. -The Georgian Court University men's lacrosse senior class will take to the turf for their last regular-season home contest this afternoon as the Lions host fellow Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference rival, Chestnut Hill College, in a battle for the top-seed in next week's CACC Championship Tournament.
These nine young men represent the first four-year graduating class in program history, and have helped shape Georgian Court into one of the top lacrosse programs in the region, while leading the Lions to the inaugural CACC Tournament Championship last year. These individuals have built and strengthened the program in their own way, while establishing a bright future for Georgian Court Lacrosse. We would like to thank each and every senior as they move on to the next chapter of their lives.
Now, let's meet the Georgian Court University class of 2019:

On the field he has appeared in 61 games and found the back of the net on 32 occasions. Brandon has also been very strong in the classroom as he was inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma National Athletic Honor Society and will be receiving a degree in business administration.
