The Quinnipiac men’s lacrosse team has announced its schedule for the 2026 spring season. Head Coach Mason Poli and the Bobcats revealed that the team will play 14 games, with six of those at the QU Lacrosse Stadium in Hamden.
Quinnipiac will begin its season on February 7 with an away game against UMass Lowell, marking their first meeting since 2023. The Bobcats then return home to host UMass on February 13 and St. John’s on February 17. This will be the second consecutive year they face UMass in non-conference play and the third straight year playing St. John’s.
The team continues its schedule with road games at Bryant on February 21 and Vermont on February 28 to close out February.
Conference play starts at home against Siena on March 7, followed by three consecutive road games: Canisius on March 14, Providence on March 18 (the last non-league game), and Merrimack on March 25.
Quinnipiac will host Marist on March 28 before traveling to Sacred Heart for an April 4 rematch of last year’s MAAC semifinal contest. The Bobcats then host Mount St. Mary’s on April 11, travel to Iona for their final regular season road game on April 18, and finish the regular season at home against Manhattan on April 22.
Last season, Quinnipiac posted a conference record of two wins and six losses, earning the No. 6 seed in the postseason tournament. The team advanced to the league semifinals after defeating Canisius, 12-10, in the opening round.
Senior Ryan Downing and graduate student Owen Murray have been named captains for the upcoming season. Three All-MAAC honorees are returning: Justin Robbert (Second Team All-MAAC at attack), Nick Meoni (Second Team All-Conference short stick midfielder), and Joe Konesco (All-Rookie squad).
