The Massachusetts men’s lacrosse team will look to continue their win streak, which currently sits at four after its win against LIU on Tuesday. UMass is back at Garber sooner than expected, as its game against Utah was moved from Farmingdale State College on Saturday to back home on Friday afternoon because of concern over COVID-19.
