HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Hampden-Sydney College 10th-year head lacrosse coach Jason Rostan '03 has announced his program's 2026 schedule, which includes eight home games among 17 regular season contests and features 10 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) games.

The Tigers will open the season on Saturday, February 7, at home against Christopher Newport University at 1 p.m.

"Our 2026 schedule is one of the more challenging schedules in Division III Lacrosse, both out-of-conference and within one of the top lacrosse conferences nationally in the ODAC," said Rostan.
