Exciting Games on Opening Night!

Some exciting games last night in our opening night of SOLL play.  The field at Duluth Heights was in great shape and stayed that way after 3 games.  The field drains really well and should be a great place to play league games this summer.

In the first game, the Fighting Aye-Aye's (name change, or is this what it'll be?) led most of the game by a few goals until the Thunder Ducks came back and took the lead at the end of the game, holding off the Aye-Aye's with some ball control to win in a high scoring affair 17-16.

In game 2, the Brojans led most of the way before Broseidon came back to tie it up late in the game.  The Brojans scored two goals late to come up with the win 12-10.

In our final game of the night, the Honey Badgers also led for most of the game before the Free Agents, with several fill-in players, stormed back to tie the game and take the lead 10-9.  The Honey Badgers scored the tying goal with about 30 seconds left to send it to braveheart.  For the braveheart, the Honey Badgers sent out long-pole Alex Hnatko who won the faceoff and promptly took it down to bury it in the back of the net and win the game for the Honey Badgers 11-10.

It was a fun first night of summer lacrosse in Duluth.  Week 2 will be this Sunday June 24 with games starting at 6:00 p.m.  Check the schedule to see what time you play.

Also, there is still time for players to register.  The Free Agent team is in need of players, so please register now or at the fields on Sunday.

Teams Page Updated

Teams page has been updated.  If you haven't picked a name for your team yet, a name has been assigned to your team.  Please get me your team name as soon as possible, or the name listed will be your league name. 

Team rosters are pretty full, but we still have 4 free agents.  We have only 5 teams and I was hoping for 6.  If you know of any players still wanting to play that are not on one of the teams listed, have them register and we can form another team.  We need to know this very soon.  I will have to create a schedule tomorrow.  Without another team, all team rosters will be very full.
