This past weekend as I said in my last blog post the team played in the Edward Coomb's Foundation Tournament. Our first game was against division 2 Mercy College.
Our team was real pumped up for the game and we came out strong getting a 5-1 lead at the end of the first. In the second quarter, the game got real chippy with some solid hits and tough defense. We were able to score two more goals in the 2nd quarter and Mercy also got one making it 7-2.
At the start of the second half, our coach pulled all of the starters and put in the backups for the rest of the game. Mercy decided to play their starters for the remainder of the game. Mercy was able to come back and win but our backups played well against a group of D2 starters. Mercy won the game 13-11.
Our second game was against D3 Montclair State. In this game, our coach played mainly the starters for the entire game. The game was close all the way through but for most of the game Montclair kept the lead by two goals. In the 4th quarter down by three, our team made a run and was able to get a lead by 1. In the final few seconds of the game Montclair had almost a breakaway but we held them off and they didn't score.
The team showed some very good potential this weekend and when we play like we've been coached we can do great things. If you're interested in reading more about the tournament, check out the article on Philly Lacrosse
