Recap of our Laxachusetts Youth Teams at the LI Lax Clash Invitational

LI Lax Clash Recap

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laxachusetts Players and Parents,

The LI Lax Clash was a great event with some of the top programs in the country attending. With programs such as (Of course Laxachusetts) LI Express, 91 Lacrosse, Dukes Lacrosse, Eclipse Lacrosse, NE Storm  and West Coast Starz National Teams, we knew it would be a great challenge for our players and teams. As we always say, if you want to be the best, you need to play the best !  With our program foundation focusing on skill development and building lax IQ, this is why we are considered one of the top programs in the Nation and can compete with these clubs. 

 

The youngest division of the tournament was a mixed division with 3rd grade teams and also 4th grade teams. We decided as a staff that we would mix our 3rd and 4th grade teams even weighted so it would be a better experience for our players. 

 

2023/2022 Green Team

Tough start on Saturday but when you are facing LI Express and 91 lacrosse teams, it is always going to be a battle. With the LIE and Team 91 players playing year round and no longer playing for their town teams, our younger teams are always a little behind. The boys worked hard and battled and turned things around on Sunday with a 2-0 record. 

Overall record 2-3. Finished in 6th place. 

 

2023/2022 White Team

On Saturday, both losses came to a LIE 2022 team and a Team 91 2022 team. Team had a strong win over a LI express 2023 team. Sunday was another solid day with a 1-1 record and finishing strong.

Overall record 2-3. Finished in 5th place. 

 

2023/2022 Yellow Team 

A very impressive come from behind win against the LI Express 2023 team to start the day created quite a buzz with this group. They finished the day at 2-1 which got them into theSemi Finals and lost a tough game vs 91 Lacrosse 2022 on Sunday. Finished in 4th place.

Sunday we were matched up again against the WCS National team and although the outcome was the same with WCS getting the W, much better performance by our team. We finished very strong with a big win over Eclipse CT. Black finished the tourney in 4th place with that victory over Eclipse.

2018 Black Team

Great start for the team on Saturday with dominating performances over Eclipse Ct, NE Storm and 3d Canada. I told the team the only reason I wanted to attend this tourney is so we could play the Li Express and Dukes. With the 3-0 record on Saturday, that got us into the Semi Finals against the LI Express (who we lost to twice this summer each time by a goal). With a win over the Express on Sunday, that would have gotten us into the finals vs the Dukes. Well, the LI Express got us once again with another 1 goal game and LIE defeated the Dukes by 5 in the finals. LXC Black finished 4th at the tourney.

Overall record 3-2 

 

Laxachusetts overall record at LI Lax Clash:
