K-State traveled out to St. Louis for the playoffs this weekend. Unfortunately Missouri eliminated us in the first game, 18-1. Thanks to everyone that came out to watch the game, AJ and Joe for taking time off their schedules for the team, and Tyler for hosting the team up at his house.
The season is over, and we had a blast. We're looking forward to having some actual home games next season, so make sure you all come out and watch them.
- The KSU Collegian ran an article on the team on Friday. You can read it here: KSU Collegian
- I finally got around to loading up lots of the pictures I've been given over the last few months. Sorry it took forever, but the good news is they're sweet and we have a great new way to view them. Check it out, and thanks to Jim Manns, Pete Desrosiers, Taylor Preston, and everyone else who took them. If anyone has any more from the games or otherwise, be sure to email them in because we love looking at them. Wdesrosiers@gmail.com or Lax@ksu.edu.

K-State Lacrosse is headed off to St. Louis for the playoffs today. Our first game is against University of Missouri on Friday..
Collegelax.us ran an article on K-State Lax and our first playoff bid in the GRLC Div. 1. Read it Here: Kansas State Makes it's Debut in Post-Season Play
Team is meeting at 4:30 at the Delta Tau Delta parking lot at the corner of Sunset Ave. and College Heights. Don't be late. And bring $40 for the hotels and food and whatnot.
Thanks to everyone who bought T-Shirts. We'll give you a heads up when they're being shipped out.
I'm getting close to blowing everyone's minds with the photos. Get ready.
Good Luck in playoffs guys. Kick Missouri's a$$.

K-State played KU on Friday night in Lawrence. Unfortunately, KU pulled out an 18-10 victory this year.
With the regular season over, K-State went 7-7, but will be in the GRLC Div. 1 Playoffs for the first time. K-State has gone to the playoffs before, certainly in years way back, and even recently, but only in the GRLC Div. 2. Playoffs are being held at Lindenwood University (In St. Louis) over the May 2nd-4th weekend. Hopefully some of you St. Louis dwelling Alumni can come out and join us.
We'll be putting in an order for T-Shirts by Monday 28. Please complete the Order Form and e-mail it to wdesrosiers@gmail.com. Orders are due by Monday, April 28th. It should be approximately 10 days after the order is put in before the shirts are received. Please have checks in by Thursday, May 1st, or sooner, hopefully no later.

Meet at the field in Lawrence at 6:00 tomorrow. The address is:
4911 W. 27th St. Lawrence, KS. 66047
- No Pitt State game. Sorry folks, but Pitt-State requested we cancel the game, so the KU game will be the last of the season.
- Added John Hildebrand to our Alumni page. Thanks for letting everyone know what you're up to.
April 11, 2008
** Thinking of making it so all the pictures are hosted on www.webshots.com instead of here on the site. Take a look at that format, see if it works for everyone. Any input would be great, whether it's a good change, bad change, or no different. People have mentioned the way it is now loads the photos pretty slow, so this is just another option. Really though, take a look at that site and see if you like that better or worse, and PLEASE email lax@ksu.edu with your thoughts. Thanks much.
We're meeting to leave for the Iowa game Saturday morning at 7:00am at the usual spot in the back of that parking lot.
Pitt State game-time has changed. Please check the schedule.

We played Rockhurst this weekend in Kansas City. The final score was 14-8, K-State. It was a beautiful day and a great turf field, just an a good all around environment for some lax.
Also, the website. All the pages that were on here before are still here. Under the About button, you'll find Gear, Awards, and History. Under Roster we'll have some coach information as well as the player list in awhile. I decided it was time for an upgrade. If you're having any problems using the site (or find something is missing/non-functioning) please email me at Wdesrosiers@gmail.com.
Thats it for now. See you all at practice. If you cannot make it, call/email coaches - AJ (785-447-2476) or Coach J (845-337-1621).
April 3, 2008
I got bored and made a new website. Hope no one cares too much.
The plan for this weekend, since the Rockhurst game has been moved up to 11:00 am, is to get up early and leave around 8:00 am from Manhattan to get Kansas City. The other option is to get out to Kansas City friday night and stay there so you don't have to wake up early. There are guys on the team willing to let us stay at their houses, so depending on what you deicde to do, just let AJ know.

K-State Lax is back from a long weekend on the road. A packed schedule kept us busy and on our feet, but it was a successful weekend overall. We left Friday afternoon, drove to Memphis, TN., and woke up early Saturday morning to get to the University of Memphis to play them at 1:00.
The rain started to come down strong as the game against Memphis started. After two delays for lightning and inches of standing water on the field, we finally finished a well played game against a great competitor. K-State beat Memphis in the first Tennessee Mud-Bowl game 13-10.
With a light rain continuing to fall and the grass field destroyed, K-State came back out 40 minutes later, caked in mud and drenched to the core, to play Ole Miss. The outcome, and the competition, was a bit different. K-State lost the second game 16-4.
Back on the bus and clean (BIG thanks goes out to the University of Memphis Lacrosse team for letting us take showers in their personal houses and dorms. You guys truly embody sportsmanship, and we can't begin to thank you enough), we headed down to Fayetteville, AR., arriving at the hotel around 2 am. After a long day we passed out and woke up Sunday to play the Razorbacks at the University of Arkansas at 2 pm. A steady rain falling all morning left their field identical to the one in Memphis. Having played in the Mud a day before, K-State was ready and came out tough; and never let up. The final score was 16-6, K-State.
We're all real muddy, wet, and sore. But all three games were conference games, and having won 2-3, K-State is set to be in a tie for first place in the conference. We'll be going to the playoffs, and hope to see as many fans as possible out there.
If anyone took any photos from any of the three games, please email them to WDesrosiers@gmail.com. Thanks
Note for the team: I was the last one to leave the bus last night, and grabbed a bunch of gear, etc., that was left on board. I'll bring it to practice tonight, so if you're missing some stuff, don't get worried just yet.
And lastly, thanks goes out to Coach Besik, Coach Jay, and Coach Tyler for taking time out of their personal schedules to join a bunch of loud meat-heads on a long-ass road trip for three days. There is absolutely no way we could do this without you guys, and we truly appreciate your helping us out.

Welcome back from Spring Break. Hope everyone had a fun or relaxing time.
That said; Its Lacrosse time.
Great turnout at practice Monday night! Let's keep that up through the week so we can rock our games this weekend.
A few points that need to be covered:
1) We're meeting in the back of the parking lot next to Old Stadium (same spot as always) at 11:00am on Friday for the bus.
2) Please bring $2 or $3 to practice tonight (Tuesday) and give it to AJ. He's going to run out and buy some bottles of water so we don't die of dehydration at our games over the weekend.
3) If you still owe money for Due's, checks need to be made out to KSU Lacrosse, and need to be given to Nick Gordon. He can be reached at 816-522-1733, since he can't make it to practice. On the bright side, he has an awesome scar on his shoulder.
4) If any parents or fans need directions or other information regarding this weekend's schedule of events, time, or locations, please feel free to email lax@ksu.edu.
Finally, Skidmore, thanks for coming out and hanging out at practice last night. Hope you can wing it to get off work and join us this weekend (even if you can't run, who cares? Road trip!)
March 11, 2008
Sorry for the delayed update; I forgot I was the webmaster. A few administrative notes to start with:
1. If you have not paid your dues or haven't paid them in their entirety, please get those in by this week. We have some bills to pay and need the dues money in before we can pay them.
2. If you ordered a shaft, they're in. Call Preston (913-208-8232)
3. COME TO PRACTICE. We have three practices, then spring break, and a 3 game road trip following spring break.
Finally the good stuff. K-State played a real tough game against a fierce competitor. Iowa came down to Manhattan, and the game went up to the very end. K-State won 11-10, scoring the final goal in the last few minutes of the game. Stewart played a great game in the goal, picking up some phenomenal grabs. Freshman Ben Novak shut down Iowa's main scoring threat with great foot and stick-work on defense. Jamie also played a tremendous game on defense.
Not to say the rest of the team didn't also play well, but this will go on forever if I list everyone. Thanks to everyone that came out, parents, students, and Afghanistani Military alike. Students especially, we're glad to see you all coming out to enjoy K-State Lacrosse.
* Special thanks today goes out to Sean Berger for fixing my mistakes. Also, I've added our April-5 Rockhurst game to the schedule. Sorry about missing that.
March 5, 2008
Update: (1 of 2) Thursday - Bill's house after practice. Address is 1001 Kearney St. The whole team is invited, come hang out with the guys off the field. Practice runs 6:30-8:00, so shower up and come over when you're done.
(2 of 2) Friday - Coach Jay has invited anyone interested over to watch some NCAA footage and hang out (instead of getting $#@*-canned) prior to our game Saturday. Anyone interested should shoot him a line (I don't have his email, Coach, let us know man! Lax@ksu.edu) for his address and time.
In what can only be described as a true reward for those of you that check the site, I was able to get my hands on the GTM Lacrosse Merchandise Catalog for this year. GTM is a local (or national?) "gear" retailer, and being from Manhattan, KS, they offered up the opportunity for a few of our guys to do some amateur modeling for them. While I'm sure the experience was payment enough, believe it or not, I think these guys also got some money out of it.
So, without further delay, and for a limited time only, may I present KSU Lacrosse doing what it does best: Looking Damn Good.
On a side note: we hope to see everyone at practice Wednesday night. We'll be outside on the field, and with our first home game coming up, it'd be nice to see as many people as possible.
March 2, 2008
Another two games come and gone. This past Saturday, University of Oklaholma hosted KSU, and then an hour later, KSU played Oklaholma State. The weather was perfect for lacrosse.
KSU showed up at just about game time, and with little-to-no time to warm up, we took the field. University of Oklaholma ended up winning (when I get the score, I'll post it up).
We played much better against Ok-State, connecting way more passes and working our offense around. The final score was 22-8 (I think) KSU.
Note: I put some photos up from the sidelines between the games. Check the photos section.
Looking forward, we host Iowa this weekend, so start telling your friends and get ready to see KSU Lax play their first home game this season.
Note: If you were one of the drivers this past weekend, please bring the radio back to practice on Monday so I can collect those back. Thanks.
February 24, 2008
It was a long and tiring Saturday, but K-State played some good hard lacrosse. Leaving Manhattan bright and early, we arrived at Nebraska just 15 minutes before game time. Nebraska is our first conference game this season, and with a final score of 11-7 (I think?), K-State came out with our first win of the season.
45 Minutes after the Nebraska game, we took the field again against St. Olaf, and the story was a bit different this time. St. Olaf got the best of us and walked away with the W.
A few side notes:
- K-State's new jersey's are sweet. They're black with purple trim and purple/silver stripes, and we make them look gooood. Much thanks to Coach AJ for designing and ordering them, it was certainly time to get a new look.
- Mike Mann's parents sent in a bunch of photos they've taken over the years, and they're posted in a new album under Photos. Thanks for sending those in, they look great. If anyone can add a caption to the ones I didn't, shoot me a line at lax@ksu.edu to let me know.
See you all Monday at practice.
February 22, 2008
Hello Hello, the Nebraska games are just around the corner!
We're meeting Saturday (23rd) Morning, in the Alumni Stadium parking lot. ARRIVE at 8:30am, so we can depart for Lincoln at 9:00am. We'll get there about 11:30am, and play our games. Expect to get back to Manhattan around 8:30pm.
See everyone Saturday Morning!
February 14, 2008
Happy Valentine's Day.
See you all at practice.
P.S. - The Nebraska game is apparently IN Nebraska. Sorry folks.
February 13, 2008
The season has started, with our first two games being played this past weekend in St. Louis.
Look forward to seeing everyone at practice this week - lots of good stuff to work on, and a two week hiatus before playing Nebraska at home.
February 1, 2008
**Update - The new jersey's will NOT be ready for the first game in St. Louis. If you have a purple jersey still, you need to bring it with you this weekend. Again, we need EVERY purple jersey for this weekend, so even if you're out there in internet-land and you have one of the current KSU purple jersey's: please let us know so we can field a matching team. Purple jersey's and gray shorts. See you all Saturday.
Happy Black History Month, everyone.
We will be holding a team practice on Saturday (2/2) at 3:00p at Old (Memorial) Stadium. If it is above freezing we'll be outside. If it is significantly colder, we'll change our plans. Please meet at the stadium, DRESSED APPROPRIATLY FOR THE WEATHER, for a 3:00 practice.
Again, if you haven't paid dues, or any portion therein, please get those in. They are past due. If you have questions or concerns, please email AJ.
January 23, 2008
Sorry for not posting a follow-up about the meeting - I wasn't around and missed that all important email with the date and time. Hope most everyone else got it. For those of you that aren't on Preston's facebook group, practice starts tonight - Wednesday the 23rd, at 9:00 pm in Ahearn.
PLEASE bring all dues money not yet paid, or at least some portion therein. Preston also wanted to note that if you have any money not yet paid for the shafts, please bring that as well. I believe that was out of his own pocket, so help the guy out.
See you all tomorrow - Bill
January 16, 2008
Hope everone is looking forward to the 2008 KSU Lacrosse season. There have been some schedule changes. We're no longer playing Missouri State or Rockhurst, so as it stands the season is currently only 12 games.
Plan on having a team meeting, Saturday the 19th, at Pat's in Aggieville (unless we arrange a room in the Union). Check back for an update with time and location, but be sure to set aside some time to get together with the team to discuss some changes, additions, news, and some beers.
November 29, 2007
*Schedule Updated w/ new games and game times
Winter practice started monday, and we had a good turnout (for the first two days). The Practice schedule is listed off to the left. MTW @ 9:15 up in Ahearn Field House. Thursdays we'll be doing combatives hopefully, but we haven't hammered out all the details there, so for now, no Thursday practices.
Remember: PAY DUES ASAP to Gordon/Preston/Someone. The dues are $400 in all, and we're only asking for half of that right now. Dues are due NO LATER than 12/5. Please - Get them in! See you all Monday.

Hey Guys, we'll be having a meeting this Sunday, November 11, at 4:30pm. I'll put the location up here as soon as I figure it out, so be sure to check back real soon.
"We're having the meeting to go over getting everyone cleared with the eligibility form and registrar, and also to discuss away games and spring practice. We'll be letting everyone know what the winter schedule is as far as when we start indoors, discuss a couple of items, and I'd like to show some game film. I'd also like to speak to everyone one on one about their progress and what to expect come spring like I did last year."

Congratulations to the University of Kansas for winning the Tillar Classic this year. Nebraska was unable to attend, so KU beat Rockhurst and K-State to take this title. K-State beat Rockhurst as well, rounding out a fun weekend for everyone. Alot of new guys got to experience the pace of a collegiate lacrosse game, rounding out a successful season of fall-ball here at K-State.
Our Presidente, Ryan Preston, has made all the K-State apparel we've ordered this year (and then some!) available through the Harrow Sports website. The gear is all K-State Custom, and you can order it through them to be delivered to you. It's pretty sweet. I wish I had that jacket. Check it out below (Link will open in a new window).

November 1, 2007
The Tillar Classic is finally upon us. Games will start on Friday, and run through Saturday evening. It has been nescessary to change the start time of the Friday evening game, Nebraska vs. K-State. The start time has now been pushed back to approx. 8:00/8:30pm, due to some scheduling conflicts.
I know all you loyal fans have things to do on Friday evening, and we apologize for any inconvenience. I can think of only a few suggestions:
1) If you're driving a good distance after the game: Coffee
2) If you wanted to party after the game: start partying at the game.

*Look for a new album in the photos from the Alumni Game, with more pictures on their way soon.
October 22, 2007
"KSU Lacrosse Alumni weekend was a great success, with nearly 30 Alumni showing up spanning the entire history of the program back to 1989. Festivites started with a spirited party at Pat's Blue Rib'n BBQ on Saturday night.
"Before actual play started the Alumni led the combined teams in a missing man face off in memory of Donald P. Tillar III. Then during a lively yet poorly officiated game which included a second half comeback from a 5-1 deficit by the actives, the Alumni rallied behind the exemplary play of former MVP goalie Matt Wibbenmeyer to pull out an 8-7 double overtime victory against the actives.
"In a weekend that included sticks, kilts (!?!) and camaraderie, it was
an outstanding and fun finish. The Active players would again like to
thank all of the Alumni who made the trip and all those with in spirit and
in contact. Thanks for your dedication and support, the team wouldn't
be what it is without your efforts. In memoriam DPTIII."
-AJ Besik
If anyone at the Game has any photos they would like to contribute and share with the world, please email them to Lax@Ksu.edu, to the attention of Bill. Also, if any of you Alumni would like to let the rest of the world know what you're up to these days, feel free to shoot an email to the same address with whatever information you'd like, and we'll add it to the Alumni section on the site.
October 19, 2007
The Alumni Game is finally upon us. Veterans vs. Rookies, Old blood vs. New. The game will be held at Old Stadium, so anyone interested can come on out and watch.
The Alumni Banquet will be held at Pat's BBQ in Aggieville around 8:00 pm this Saturday evening (Sat. 20th). The game itself will be at 12:30 pm on Sunday, the 21st. Current players, please arrive at 11:45 am to help set up the field.
Hope to see everyone there, both Saturday and Sunday.
October 16, 2007
The Tillar Schedule is set. Please check the Tillar Classic page for a few further details regardnig the weekend.
In addition to the games, we'll be having a banquet for Players, Coaches, Parents, and anyone else who has come into town for this event at Pat's Blue Ribbn' BBQ down in Aggieville. Pat's is the newest sponsor of the KSU Lax program, and we'd like to thank them for supporting our team.
We'll be meeting at Pat's on Friday, Nov. 2, at 9pm. Look forward to seeing everyone there.
On another note, payments for Sweats are way past due, so if you haven't paid Preston yet, please do that.
October 9, 2007
A few things have changed/been updated - but for the better, so please bare with me as I try and make the site more useful to everyone involved.
Most noticably, there isn't a whole lot of news right here anymore. Archived news (an update back or so) is now in a different link, located above ("News Archives"). If I can remember how to make a button, I'll put it in the navigation over on the left, but for now, there it is.
The Tillar Classic page has been updated to show the 2007 Tillar Schedule as it stands right now. There may be more teams interested, or times may have to change, so please note that the schedule is tentative.
The contact and schedule pages were updated 10/8/07 at 10:25pm
October 8, 2007
Players, please note we'll be electing team capitans prior to the Tillar Classic Games. Your capitans will, more or less, represent you and the team, so please make sure you're there to help make sure we pick 'em well.
The Fall schedule has been put up on the site to let everyone know when the Donnie Tillar Classic and Alumni games will take place. When we nail down game times, etc., we'll put them up here. For now, you can all save the days on your calendar.
In addition, the team's current club officers have been updated on the contact section.
The contact and sponsor pages were updated 10/3/07 at 5:30pm
October 3, 2007
K-State Lacrosse is currently looking for sponsors for our upcoming season. The sponsor's section of the site is currently being updated, but please contact us if you or your organization is interested in helping our team.
A message from Preston:
"Hoodies cost $28.00 and pants cost $23.00, so bring your money for what you ordered to practice this week. I would prefer checks if you could and these will be made out to me. I'm not stealing money or anything I just didn't know how to use the lax account at the time so I used my own money. So you all better pay or I get charged a lot of money. If you don't pay your money this week I will charge you 2 dollars a day after Friday of this week that you are late."
September 26, 2007
The prices for Sweats have been finalized, as have the design. Here's a message from your president, Ryan Preston:
"Hoodies cost $28.00 and Sweatpants cost $23.00
so bring your money for what you ordered to practice this week.
Remember you will some t-shirts for free to sell which can pay off the sweats.
"Also we need everyone at practice we will be getting line assignments this week, you will start practicing with your line to better get to know them and how they work.
"Make sure to message nick gordan or talk to him if you need gloves or a helmet. Everyone must have a k-state helmet and gloves.
"Also we will be handing out practice jerseys hopefully today or tommorow.
If you have any uniforms or practice jerseys you stole last year we need those back and have your numbers written down. otherwise you will pay for them."

Finally, if you're interested in a K-State Lacrosse Boathouse Jacket (Check out Boathouse Sports website), please let Nick Gordon know. They'll probably run about $75-85, and will most likely have your name embroidered on. They'll be very awesome, but we need a minimum order of 6. Be one of the first to have a very unique, very awesome, K-State Lacrosse Jacket.
This is a shout-out to Josh Skidmore, the first of many shout-outs to the people who apparantly actually read this site. Rock on guys, thanks for making me feel I'm making a difference here.
September 7, 2007
Sweatshirt/Sweatpant orders are due to Ryan Preston (TanTrum@ksu.edu) by this Thursday, Sept. 20. They look pretty classy/kickass, so anyone interested should shoot him an email. I think the prices are about $23 for the sweatpants, and $14 for the sweatshirts (or vice versa?) or something along the lines of $43 for the set.
In addition, Ryan also has a deal with Harrow to manufacture some K-State shafts at a discounted price. The deadline for ordering those is coming up as well (although I don't know when money is due). However, anyone, players or alumni, are more than welcome to order one. It'll be 2-3 months for them to make the mold, but they'll be sweet when they're all finished.
September 6, 2007
Wanted to put the dates up for the Alumni Game and the Tillar Classic. I believe the Alumni Game is set for Saturday, October 22nd. The Tillar Classic Tournament will be held the first weekend in November, the 3rd and 4th. More information will come when it's available, Thanks.
September 4, 2007
Hey everyone, a new year and a new season are both here. Anyone interested in playing, whether or not you have any experience, shoot us an email and start coming to our practices. Fall ball is just to get a feel for the game and start to get in shape for the Spring when we have games. No equipment? No problem. Enough guys on the team have extra gear you can borrow until you finally realize this is the sport for you.
Fall ball starts tonight, and the practice schedule for the fall (for now) is as follows:
Monday: 915-1100 p.
Tuesday: 915-1100 p.
Wednesday: 915-1100 p.
Thursday: 615-800 p.
Friday: party!
I'm pretty sure Ryan Preston is the new club President, and when I find out the rest of the positions I'll throw them up here too. Thanks for checking in, and come back for updates soon, including the dates for the Alumni Game and the Tillar Classic Tournament.

With a steady rain falling all around and a temperature of 38 degrees, two teams clashed tonight in Manhattan; a grudge match if ever there was one. The boys from KU came to take on the men from K-State, and put up a good fight doing it. Confident as they were walking onto K-State's homefield, they came with an early lead and ended the half with a score of 4-1.
Soaked and cold as they were, K-State refused to lower their heads and charged out in the second half with a flame that no rain could extinguish. The offense set out on a goal to bring themselves back into the game, while the defense locked off KU's players, rendering them useless. Soon K-State not only brought themselves back into the game: they took the lead. With a score of 6-5, the rain began to come down harder still. Mike Manns won faceoff after faceoff, delivering K-State's offense with a steady supply time to work their offense with. You could hear KU getting desperate on the sidelines, their coach offering to pay $5 to the player that could come up with a groundball on a faceoff.
KU's coach certainly didn't expect what he got when he came to Manhattan. Sure, his players fired off their fair share of shots, but K-State's goalie, Stewart, came up with the ball time after time. Certainly thinking something along the lines of "Mr. Besik, tear down this wall!" KU was denied the vast majority of their shots.
With 1:20 left in the game, KU tied the game with a rocket of a shot to the upper corner. Unphased, K-State took the field, won the faceoff, and drove down to the goal. With the crowd roaring, the last shot was scored on KU to take back the lead. K-State won the game 7-6.
K-State absolutly defined "team effort" in the game against KU: unwavering defense, a goalie who couldn't miss, great offensive minds, and a supporting crowd to boot. Tonight K-State will take on Illinois State at 7:30 at Old Stadium here in Manhattan, so come support the team!

A few more games under our belt - some wins, some losses. We'll be taking a break this weekend for Easter but will be back in full force afterwards.March 10, 2007
Saturday came and went, and with it comes a Win for Kansas State. Putting up 18 goals against Arkansas' 10, K-State played hard all four quarters. The game ball went to Nick the-Freight-Train Fightner for a stunning 9 goals during the game, including a wicked behind the back shot while on GLE.
Come watch K-State play Marquette tomorrow morning at 10am at Old Stadium in Manhattan.

Nebraska came out to Manhattan to play tonight, and took the Win home with them in overtime, 13-12. Both teams played a real aggressive game. The game ball went to Dan for his intensity, ground ball work, and goals scored. Come watch K-State play Arkansas tomorrow at 6pm here in Manhattan.March 8, 2007
The photos have been put back online, with the addition of a few new ones from K-State's game against Missouri State this past Saturday.
This weekend we have another 3 game set - be sure to bring your friends and come watch some K-State lacrosse.

Finally - a new website, and just in time to go with the new season. With a few games already under our belt, the fall and spring training has paid off. The site has a little construction left until it's finished, so please bare with us.
Check the schedule section to see a list of our games this season and how we've done so far. Thanks!
2006 Season
The first games of the season have come and gone. A good chunk of the team went to the Midnight to Dawn tourney in KC to play some indoor lax. Even though it was “unofficial” it was nice to come together and get a few games under our belt.
Congratulations Zach on being selected to the Second Team All-GRLC Division A. Congrats.
Well, the 2005 season is complete. We went 5-7 overall and surprised a few teams. Finishing 7th in our first year in Division A is superb, especially being picked preseason to finish last. I expect big things from this team next year. We had a lot of young players that gained valuable experience and will only play better next season.

On this note I would just like to mention that finding funds and support for us to play lacrosse in various tournaments and for hosting our own tournament is not easy to do. It is for this reason that we would like to thank our sponsors and especially our alumni. It seems like the alumni are always at our games to support us and give us a financial hand when needed. Thanks alumni, your support is appreciated!
