The wait is (almost) over.

After a historic 2025 that featured UR’s first NCAA Tournament win and an Atlantic 10 title, the Spiders men’s lacrosse team returns to Robins Stadium on Saturday, January 31.

The nine-game home slate kicks off against 2025 national runner-up Maryland and features top opponents like Virginia, Georgetown, Delaware, and Saint Joseph’s — all leading up to the 2026 A-10 Championships this April.

If you’ve been counting down the seconds, we’re right there with you.

A hand-painted emblem represents Legend Brewing Company's "My Faire Lady" beer. The painting is in the shape of an oval with two overlaid gold and navy blue banners below the bottom rim of the oval; the first, outer layer of the oval includes the text, "My Faire Lady" and a wreath of greenery; the interier oval includes encompassing greenery over a red background on the top section and a green background on the bottom section; a white unicorn, central to the emblem, rears its front legs upward, and a woman wearing a navy blue dress with red and gold accent + a gold hood sits atop the unicorn, weilding an upward sword.
