Results for Friday 7/5
Men’s Elite:
Championship Bracket Quarterfinals – Ford Field
9:00am – Big Green Herd 11, Denver City Lax / StyLax 5
Big Green Herd jumped out to an early 3-1 Lead and City Lax never managed to really get going. City Lax suffered from poor shooting accuracy and a few too many turnovers. The Herd played a very unselfish brand of lacrosse with eight different goal scorers.
11:00am – Brine Elite 16, Millennium Lacrosse 15
It was a nail biter from start to finish. Brine Elite’s Ryan Danehy scored a 2-point goal with four minutes left to steal the game for Brine. Bailey Tills was a bright spot for Millennium with five goals.
1:00pm – Lacrossewear 16, Adrenaline Tropics 8
A close and hard fought game until the second half, Lacrossewear only allowed one second half goal en route to the win. Lacrossewear’s faceoff man Kevin Massa went 21-25, giving Lacrossewear the majority of possessions. A 2-point goal from Ryan Tucker solidified the 2nd half rally from Lacrossewear. Kieran McArdle led the scoring with three goals and one assist.
3:00pm – All Out 15, Rocky Mountain Oysters 12
The teams battled hard in this close game. The Oysters took a 9-8 lead into half time, but All Out locked down its defense in the third quarter not allowing a goal. All Out won 20 of 30 faceoffs and cleared with great efficiency converting on all but six attempts on the day.
