Hofstra received a major gift for the renovation of the men’s lacrosse locker room.

Former Hofstra men’s lacrosse student-athlete James C. Metzger ‘83, whose generous support of Hofstra Athletics stretches back more than a decade, announced a substantial leadership gift for the renovation of the Harry Royle-Vincent Sombrotto men’s lacrosse locker room.
