Pellicani Bocconi Lacrosse is an Italian lacrosse team founded in Milan, Italy in 2009.

History

Lacrosse was introduced to Bocconi University by a few students who had played lacrosse before in England and Hong Kong. In 2011, the team won second place at its first appearance in Coppa Italia. The arrival of American player/coach Scott Offerman helped transform the previously strictly amateur team into a more rigorous athletic organization. A.S.D. Bocconi has a very international roster, with players from 5 countries other than Italy represented, the most in Italian lacrosse.

gollark: For what drægon?

gollark: Don't stake significant amounts of money on competitive sphere-into-cuboid-kicking.

gollark: ^

gollark: Oh noooooo... they managed to kick some spheres into cuboids, several times, despite other people trying to kick the spheres into other cuboids, they're clearly awful...

gollark: It's an award for kicking spheres into cuboids.
