Hometown Hoo
Former @UVAMensLax standout Michael Kraus was drafted by the Connecticut Hammerheads, a team that normally plays 20 minutes from his hometown of New Canaan, Ct. This season, however, Major League Lacrosse will have its quarantined season take place at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md., over the course of nine days beginning July 18. US Lacrosse Magazine caught up with Kraus for this feature.
