Hempstead, NY - The Hofstra men's lacrosse program unveiled its new Harry Royle-Vincent Sombrotto men's lacrosse locker room earlier this week. The locker room renovation was made possible via a substantial leadership gift from James C. Metzger '83. 



The renovation, which included the installation of 48 brand-new lockers, a remodel of the bathroom and shower area and new carpeting and flooring, was completed in time for the start of the 2020 season. 

Hollman, Inc., a leading manufacturer of collegiate lockers, designed and installed the new custom lockers designed specifically for use with lacrosse as they feature space to hold multiple helmets, sticks and will also be equipped with a phone charging station and cushions for comfort. Founded in 1976, Hollman, Inc. is the industry leader in locker design and solutions. Milburn Flooring oversaw the installation of the new flooring.

In addition to his profound gift, Metzger also led a matching gift campaign for alumni of the program to have one of the lockers named in their honor. Each locker is named in honor of a Pride men's lacrosse alumni and Metzger matched each gift for all 48 lockers.
