We kicked off a brand-new series last night with two fresh lineups hitting the floor: Team Ashmore and Team Evely. It continued our run of tight entertaining games, featuring improved ball movement and solid play from the benches of 7 and 6 runners each.

Team Ashmore struck early on a penalty shot ( Shawn hitting top left.. ), but Team Evely answered right back, building a quick 3-1 advantage. The action stayed hot as Team Ashmore fought back to tie things up, and after the goalie swap, both teams traded chances and goals in classic back-and-forth fashion. Several penalties led to more penalty shots and tense moments right to the finish, with the final horn sounding at 8-7 in favor of Team Ashmore ( even though their namesake not in the lineup – we’ll save a black game ball for you, Rob!).

Reminders as we head into the season’s final stretch:

• Pinnie Collection: If you’ve got a league pinnie hiding at home, please bring it out—we’re collecting them over the next few weeks to prep for next season and keep costs low!

• Only 3 Weeks Left: With just three weeks remaining, don’t miss your chance to get out on the floor, reconnect, and be part of the action.

• Season-Ending Event: We’re putting the finishing touches on plans for our big end-of-season gathering—details coming soon!

See you all next Wednesday for more tight games, good laughs, and great lacrosse!

Team Shawn Closes Out the Series with Another Strong Finish

Last night marked an exciting conclusion to the latest series as Team Shawn secured both the win and the series title. They set the tone early, jumping out to a commanding 3-0 lead after the first period, and kept the pressure on to take a 4-1 advantage at the mid-game goalie change.

Team Jared showed resilience, with Matt Miller rifling home a top-shelf snipe to spark the comeback, eventually narrowing the score to just 5-4. Despite the push, a late goal by Team Shawn settled the score and put the game—and the series—out of reach.

It was great to see both new faces and missing players suiting up, adding fresh energy and familiar skills to the floor. With this series in the books, we’re excited to turn the page and look ahead—new teams will be forming to keep our close, competitive lacrosse going….

A quick reminder:

• If you have a league pinnie collecting dust at home, please bring it back out—we’re taking stock to help keep costs down and get organized for next season.

See you next week for more Wednesday night action!

Last week’s game brought the drama and intensity fans have come to expect, as Team Jared mounted a thrilling comeback to edge Team Shawn 6-5 and keep the series wide open. Both netminders were absolutely stellar, “standing on their heads” with highlight-reel saves at both ends of the floor. Kevin continued his hot streak as a reliable sniper, adding another key goal to his tally. With this result, the series now sits at 2 wins for Team Shawn, 1 for Team Jared, and 1 tie—making every game count as the rivalry heats up.

The energy and parity on display are making this one of the most exciting series yet. If you’ve been thinking about coming out, now’s the time—next week’s matchup promises more fast-paced action and could tilt the series once again.

A Few Important Housekeeping Notes:

• Pinnie Collection: If you have a league pinnie lurking in your basement or gym bag, please bring it out to our games! As we prepare for next season—with hopes of expanding to more teams—reusing our current pinnies will help us keep league costs low. We’ll be taking an inventory soon.

• End-of-Season Gathering: We’re hoping to get everyone together this September for a proper end-of-season celebration. Keep an eye out for a survey coming soon—please weigh in on preferred dates and times so we can make sure as many as possible can join!

Don’t miss next week—and look to catching up after at Mustang Sally’s…
