The game will pit the returning STA varsity players vs. any and all STA lax alums (the class of 2008 will be included on the alum side). There will also be a cookout after the game. (Note the time change to accommodate a shift in STA’s baseball game Saturday!)

Players should plan on providing their own equipment. If you need equipment or if you have any questions, please contact head coach Malcolm Lester at 202-537-5703, mlester@cathedral.org.

If you are not participating, feel free to come on out and watch; parents are invited as well. (Alums, go to www.stalax.org for news and great photos from the 2008 season, as well as many pictures of STA lax alums).

west-genesee-huddle.jpgSt. Albans traveled to upstate New York on Saturday, April 26 and returned with a 6-4 victory over national power West Genesee, which has been ranked Number 1 in the country by Inside Lacrosse for much of the season and is ranked 8th this week.

Bulldogs Take a Bite Out of Cats 6 - 4
The West Genesee Wildcats hosted the St. Alban’s Bulldogs, a prep school out of Washington D.C., on the carpet at West Genesee stadium on a brilliant Saturday morning and it was the guest Bulldog’s making the most of their visit with a 6-4 victory over the Cats. St. Alban’s struck early in the game 1-0 at 11:06 when senior midfielder Matt Miller backed in his defender and snuck a low shot past junior Wildcat goalie Steve Mahle. Less than a minute later at 10:15 it was sophomore midfielder Pat Dougherty wrapping around the right post adding an unassisted goal for a 2-0 lead. Read more

Dear St. Albans Lacrosse Parent,

I hope this note finds you well. The Lester household is “amped up” for Halloween and the stash of loot (candy) my kids will collect only a few hours from now. At press time, our daughter Page (8) is planning to dress up as a lawyer, son Teddy (5) says he’s opting for the easy Gorilla costume, and Grant (2) is slated to go as Bob the Builder. Check with me next week to see how it all went!

I am writing to tell you not about Halloween, but about a wonderful opportunity the varsity lacrosse team will have this spring. We will travel to the Syracuse area to play West Genesee High School on Saturday, April 26, at its home field in Camillus, New York (10 minutes outside of Syracuse). The trip falls over STA’s Phi Beta Kappa weekend, when the boys have Monday, April 28 off from school. The Friday to Sunday trip will serve as our only overnight trip of the season. Read more
