Never going to happen but would rather see LAX than baseball at SHU.

To the extent that athletics exists to attract students SHU needs LAX. Would be nice if we could have both like SJU. It seems we can't.
To offer cross country but no indoor and outdoor track is pointless. It's there perhaps merely to fulfill a minimum requirement?
St. John's, for example, offers both but only for women.
The Big East sponsors men's and women's lacrosse. Most teams are not full members of the conference.
The women's teams are Butler, Villanova, Marquette and Georgetown... and from the outside you have Florida, Denver, Temple, UConn, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati.
That geographic expanse might tell you it's not easy to put together a college lacrosse league.
The men have six teams- St. John's, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Villanova and Denver.
I love track and field. But perhaps it's time for the coup de grace.

This sentence from the cross country coach's current bio page might indicate SHU's commitment to the sport:
The 2013-14 season marks his 42nd at the University and his fourth serving exclusively as cross country head coach.
When your bio hasn't been updated in more than three seasons...

I too love track and field and Coach Moon is a legend but it's a sport at SH that no one goes to see. Maybe it is time to bring in a sport like lacrosse and eliminate cross country .

Box Score
OMAHA, NEB. – Sophomore Cullen Dana (Montgomery, N.Y.) allowed only one run over six brilliant innings, but St. John's rallied with two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to edge the Seton Hall baseball team, 3-2, on Friday.
The loss ends the season for the Pirates with a final record of 29-24.
After the Pirate offense struggled against Creighton on Thursday, The Hall came out slugging right away on Friday, scoring two runs in the opening inning. With one out, senior Joe Poduslenko (Glen Mills, Pa.) doubled down the left field line. Freshman Matt Toke (Three Bridges, N.J.) followed with an RBI single to give The Hall a 1-0 lead. With two outs, back-to-back singles by Mike Alescio (Fair Haven, N.J.) and Mike Caputo (Morganville, N.J.) plated the Pirates' second run.
St. John's got a run back in the bottom of the first on a two-out RBI single by Gui Gingras.
From there, it was a pitchers' duel from innings two through seven with both starters pitching in and out of trouble.
Turning Point:
Seton Hall reliever Anthony Pacillo (Lyndhurst, N.J.) allowed a leadoff triple to deep center field in the bottom of the eighth. St. John's Josh Shaw followed with a double to tie the game. A sacrifice bunt, followed by a sacrifice fly drove in what proved to be the winning run.
Inside the Numbers:
- Dana allowed only one run over six innings with five strikeouts and only one walk in a no decision.
- Alescio had a game-high three hits, going 3-for-4 with a double.
- Senior Jackson Martin (Collegeville, Pa.) went 2-for-3 with a sacrifice bunt.
- Seton Hall left nine men on base, while St. John's left 11.
- Seton Hall falls to 34-40 all-time in the BIG EAST Championship.
- Toke has now hit safely in 20 of his last 21 games.
- Toke finishes the season with a .321 batting average – it's the first time since 2005 that a freshman has led the Pirates.
- Poduslenko finishes the season with a BIG EAST-best 42 walks. It's the most walks in a single-season by a Pirate since Chris Toomey walked 53 times in 1992.
- Pacillo's appearance today is the 73rd of his career (total – starts and relief), which passes former Pirate John Probst for eighth-most in Seton Hall history.
- Poduslenko finishes the season with seven home runs. It's the most home runs in a single-season by a Pirate since Chris Affinito hit nine in 2009.
- Seton Hall falls to 58-68 all-time against St. John's and 7-9 against the Red Storm in the BIG EAST Championship.
With the loss, Seton Hall's 2017 season has come to an end. Today's game marked the final collegiate games for nine senior players and one manager, Caputo, Martin, Pacillo, Poduslenko, Matt Fortin (Nashua, N.H.), Mikael-Ali Mogues (New York, N.Y.), Zach Prendergast (Horsham, Pa.),Ryan Testani (Shelton, Conn.), Nelson Valerio (Wharton, N.J.) and Ryan Statham.
