Very exciting game to watch, especially live. Good to see a small local venue being used instead of the downtown albatross.
This is great news. Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport on 2 feet. If you haven’t seen it played before make sure to attent. It’s very big up north but to see it grow here is amazing. There is lots of good local talent in our local area and hosting the Men’s NAIA will show our local teams what the next level looks like.
