The good news is the lacrosse season is underway. The bad news is that it got off to a bit of a slow start. Navy dropped the opener on Saturday to Virginia, 9 - 4.

For you newcomers here is the deal… You have to copy and paste the link into your browser bar to get to the youtube highlights.

The guys started off a bit slower than Virginia. Navy found itself down 3 - 0 before the guys knew what hit them. However, the team showed a lot of character and battled hard and played much more evenly from that point on. The passing and catching needs to be cleaned up, but the potential is definitely there.

Kyle had 10 saves in goal. The video highlights are mainly of the goals scored so not too many of those made it to the web—but some great saves kept it tight until a good way into the 4th quarter. Congratulations to Ryan and Christian and who each found the back of the net twice to account for the 4 Navy goals.
