Vail Lacrosse Shootout Day Three

Jagermeister took home the first championship of the 40th Vail Lacrosse Shootout with an overtime win in Men’s Masters Finals on Monday. Jager returned to their championship ways winning their third Vail Masters title to add to the 2009 & 2008 championships.

In the Men’s elite quarter-finals all the top seeds advanced with the exception of Team Harrow. In the day’s first game on Ford Field, Team Harrow thought they had taken a one goal lead with less than a minute remaining, only to realize the bench had called a time-out before the goal. Brine Elite, then took possession of the ball and scored the game winning goal with less than 30 seconds left to win the game. Brine Elite will face Merrill Lynch / Lacrossewear at 1:00pm for the day’s first semi-final. The second semi-final will be a repeat of last year’s match-up. Maverick Elite will look for redemption after being upset last year by Rocky Mountain Oysters / Lax.com. The Maverick vs. Oysters game will take place at 3:00pm on Ford Field.
Pool play ended in the Women’s Elite division today. Quarter and semi finals will take place tomorrow in Edwards. Gang Green, Portland Purple, Cole Roofing, CRSLAX.com and LOfers won their pools and advanced through the first round of bracket play to the quarter-final games tomorrow on Athletic Field.
