Four weeks ago, Hurricane Helene brought devastating destruction to many parts of the Southeastern United States. The widespread damage was as severe in western North Carolina as just about anywhere, with the eye of the storm passing through Asheville on September 28. The region encountered once-in-a generation flooding, widespread water and power outages, downed trees, damaged structures, and extensive debris. It was an unprecedented disaster.

Unfortunately, the lacrosse community was not spared.
