PITTSBURGH --Â Point Park men's lacrosse begins its inaugural season on Saturday at Highmark Stadium against D'Youville. Opening faceoff is set for noon.

Point Park was scheduled to play its season-opener last Saturday at Virginia State, but the game was postponed due to extreme weather.
The Pioneers are led by head coach Cody Golon, who was hired in July 2024 and spent the 2025 season recruiting. Golon served as head coach at nearby Washington & Jefferson College from 2021 to 2024, where he coached nine all-conference players and W&J's first Academic All-American. Additionally, in 2022, Golon coached the highest scoring offense in the last decade at W&J.
Golon noted that junior midfielder Marc Sirolli, one of three non-freshmen on the team, has taken on a leadership role. "[Sirolli]'s almost like another coach for us," Golon said, "the guys definitely look to him for someone who's done that before." Sirolli is the only non-freshman to have been at Point Park since the fall, with juniors Kaden Flett and Tigran Ceesay arriving in January.
Point Park will compete in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC), where it was picked 10th in the preseason poll.
Golon noted that his goal is for the team to play its best lacrosse at season's end in April. "For me, it's 1% better," Golon said, "everyday we're getting better at practice, better at that lift, better at film."
Golon also expressed his thanks to the Point Park community for embracing the team with such open arms, adding "there's a lot of energy around our sport … if you've never seen lacrosse, come check out a game."
