Wingate, N.C.----The Wingate University men's lacrosse team starts its 2018 season Friday at Graham Gill Field, as the Bulldogs take on the Panthers from Florida Tech University (3 p.m. first face-off on ESPN3). The 2018 team looks to build upon a legacy of excellence already instilled by second-year head coach Tim Boyle as the Bulldogs are the reigning South Atlantic Conference tournament champions. Last season, the 'Dogs finished 13-4 overall with SAC record of 6-2, a program-best showing.
