The Official Newsletter of Villanova Athletics

Good morning, Nova Nation! We’re 52 days from kickoff and the Wildcats are hard at work!

What else is going on in Nova Nation?

🏈 Preseason honors
🥍 One Wildcat returns home
🔷 And much more!

🔼 Double Trouble. A pair of Wildcats were named Stats Perform FCS Preseason All-Americans! Jake Picard was named to the first team, while Shane Hartzell was named to the second team. Both Wildcats earned first team all-conference honors last season. Villanova is one of just six FCS teams to have won 10 or more games in at least three of the last four seasons.

Chickie’s & Pete’s is proud to support Villanova Athletics! Go where the players go – your home before, during, and after the game!

🔼 Welcome Home. Villanova men’s lacrosse welcomes home 2013 graduate Paul Mita! He joins the staff as assistant coach and offensive coordinator. He was a four-year member of the program, playing in 25 games. He spent five seasons as the head coach at Arcardia University, leading the Knights to 49 wins.

🏀 MEET THE ‘CATS

Meet men’s basketball guard Bryce Lindsay! He’s described as “an accomplished shot-maker who brings scoring firepower to the Wildcats’ backcourt.” He transfers to Villanova from James Madison, where he was named Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year. He averaged 13.4 points per game, the fifth-highest by a freshman in program history.
