The St. John’s men’s lacrosse team (0-3) plays host to Saint Joseph’s (0-3) at home on Wednesday afternoon with the first faceoff set for 3 p.m., at DaSilva Memorial Field. Wednesday’s contest marks just the second all-time meeting between the two schools and the first-ever meeting in Queens, N.Y. Senior defensemen Jack McClellan and Kyle Skramko have taken on new roles this year as the pair has switched over to playing primarily at the LSM position as opposed to their stay at close defense last year. The switch has been successful early on in the season with the pair combining for three goals on just 3-of-4 shooting on net. Both possessing great stick skills, the pair has also pulled in 16 groundballs. Fans can catch Wednesday's contest by tuning into Red Storm Sports as Dan Savarino and Sean Keenan will be on the call.
