Men's Lacrosse Announces 2022 Schedule

Note: All dates are subject to change; Times will be announced at a later date.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The University of Pennsylvania's James H. Greene Head Coach of Men's Lacrosse, Mike Murphy, has announced his team's schedule for the upcoming 2022 season. Once again, the Quakers are set to embark on a 2022 schedule littered with quality opponents as the Red and Blue look to return to the NCAA Tournament for the 14th time.

"We could not be more excited to take the field again for the first time in a long while, and play a full season," Murphy said. "Starting with our very tough non-conference opponents in February, then leading into our Ivy slate in March and April, we hope to earn the right to play into May and see how long we can keep this group together, playing great lacrosse and having fun. Our 2020 and 2021 seniors handled the COVID disruption extraordinarily well and have set the table for our 2022 team to pick up where we left off in 2019. The lacrosse world seemed to forget about the Ivy League last year, we're excited to show them that we are still here."

Penn's 12-game slate features five home games including the season opener on February 19 when the Quakers host Georgetown. The schedule also includes neutral-site games with Duke (Saturday, Feb. 26 at a location to be determined) and Penn State (Saturday, March 5 in Charlotte, N.C.).

Quaker Notemeal
*This year's Ivy League Tournament will take place Friday, May 6 and Sunday May 8 at a site still to be announced.

*Georgetown and Penn will play for just the third time. The season opener for the Quakers will mark the first game between the two teams since 1994.

*Penn and Duke will play for the fourth time in the last five seasons. Head Coach Mike Murphy was a three-year starter for the nationally ranked Blue Devils and captain of the 1991 team. The Quakers have won two of the last three meetings against Duke including a neutral-site clash in 2020.

*Penn and Penn State will renew their in-state rivalry this season. Three of the last four contests between the two teams have been decided by just one goal.

*The Quakers will look to avenge a setback to Villanova during the shortened 2020 season. The Wildcats have won four of their last five games against Penn. The Red and Blue won their last game at Villanova, 13-11, in 2019.

*Penn's game with Princeton will mark the first Ivy League action for the Quakers in 1,064 days.

*Cornell and Penn will play for the 96th time this season. Penn has won three of its last four games against the Big Red and two of those games have been decided by one goal.

*The last time Penn and Yale squared off was in the quarterfinals of the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship. Each of the last three games between the Ancient Eight rivals have been decided by one goal and two of those tilts went multiple overtimes.

*Penn and Harvard will meet for the 90th time this spring. The Red and Blue have won seven in a row against the Crimson. 

*The Quakers are 14-2 all-time against Saint Joseph's.

*Penn and Albany will play for the first time to end the regular season.
