Both the men and women have notched eye-popping road wins the past two weeks, snapping streaks that have stood more than a decade.

    Forget everything you know about the men's lacrosse team. Throw away their dramatic run to the MAAC championship game last spring, disregard their best players and look past the fact that they're the first-ever Division I lacrosse team in Michigan.

    Before the men's lacrosse team can even think about playing the Wolverines, they have to worry about two big-name opponents. The Titans open their season on the road at Delaware Feb. 4 and at Ohio State Feb. 9, and they are looking forward to the contests.
