🔼 H-2-OYeah. Matt Kinnear of Inside Lacrosse writes, “His family jokes that Hudson Hausmann’s love for Virginia lacrosse came out of nowhere. But it came on strong, and it never stopped. As a middle-schooler, he was constantly in Virginia lacrosse shirts and emulating Steele Stanwick in the backyard. 

“But that love really isn’t entirely out of the blue. First, there is John Fox, a former Virginia captain who went to Brunswick (Conn.) like Hausmann.

Read the feature on Hausmann, who Kinnear says has “the pedigree of what has become a midfielder factory at Brunswick.”
