The Bates men’s lacrosse program went through a lot this year both on and off the field. Plagued by injuries, the Bobcats got off to a slow start before their season ended prematurely. Then came the news that two-time All-American Jack Allard '16 was sick with the novel coronavirus. Allard is well on his way to recovery, now home with his family. But it’s been a tough few months for the Bobcats. Senior captains William Holland, Curtis Knapton and Matt Chlastawa join the Bobcast this week to look back on their careers and reflect on what the Bates men’s lacrosse program means to them.
