Cascade Maverik Lacrosse, the maker of head protection and lacrosse equipment,  renewed long-term partnerships with Penn State University, University of Michigan, Villanova University and Fairfield University men’s lacrosse teams.

The recent signings make Cascade the helmet of choice for more than 70 percent of the Division 1 landscape. The recent agreements maintain Maverik as the #1 hard goods supplier on the Division 1 men’s lacrosse field. Penn State, Michigan, Villanova and Fairfield will all wear Cascade helmets and be outfitted in Maverik protective equipment along with its complete line of heads and handles for the program’s upcoming 2019 season.

“We are proud of our partnership with Cascade and Maverik Lacrosse due to the quality of our relationship and the quality of their product,” remarked Penn State Head Coach Jeff Tambroni.

Each school will wear the newest Cascade helmet, the S, customized in its colorways. The S incorporates several new helmet technologies, including a new Tri-liner impact management system that is integrated with the shell, new Xflo ventilation that more than doubles the breathability of previous helmet models and a new Vision Bar facemask that ensure the ball is never out of sight.

“You can’t fake authenticity and there is a reason why Cascade is trusted by more teams in NCAA D1 men’s lacrosse and why Maverik has elevated itself to the #1 brand in lacrosse equipment,” stated Kevin Simmons, sports marketing manager for Cascade Maverik Lacrosse, “We believe our partnerships are key and directly correlate to our partners’ success on the field, which is then passed on to our end customers through our continual improvement process.”

All four programs will wear Maverik’s impact protection — the Rome line. The Rome line features new E-Form technology that offers maximum impact dispersion in a body heat activated, custom contoured fit.

Villanova head coach Mike Corrado commented, “My favorite part of working with Cascade and Maverik is their commitment to offering the most technologically advanced equipment. They also stand behind their product. I know that we are equipped in the safest equipment in the market.”
