Twelve days out from the first known scheduled game of the 2021 season, most NCAA Division I men’s and women’s lacrosse teams are still finalizing their schedules for the spring — working out conference schedules first before moving to slot in as many non-conferences as permitted by their institution or conference.
Privately, most coaches have an idea of their schedules, but final schedules won’t be released until approved by administrators. COVID-19 protocols and travel restrictions are a sticking point for many. Some teams have set schedules with games beginning as early as Feb. 13. The earliest game appears to be Jan. 30, when Bellarmine visits Mercer — according to the schedule the Knights released on Twitter last week — and Utah opens at Denver.
