The team made its annual trip to participate in the pre-season Best of the West Tournament in Las Vegas on November 6 & 7.  Just like the alumni game, all the players get an opportunity to showcase their skills and the coaching staff evaluates each player. ASU played Cal Poly, Loyola Marymount, Utah Valley University, and Brigham Young University.  These were all great games and each member of the team played to the final whistle.  The team has a lot of new players on the team and this weekend is instrumental for these new players to gain game experience.  The coaches emphasize that players get better every time they step on the field.  The goals for this tournament included competing every second of every game and sticking together no matter what happens.  The team accomplished its goals as it was a stronger and tighter group after the tournament.

Arizona State lacrosse alumni took the field satuday morning for a match up against the 2010 Sun Devil squad. JIm Maribito took the opening face-off 30 years to the day that he took his first face-off. The alumni kept it close early but the young guys controlled the game and ran away with it. The alumni broke their scoring record putting 6 goals on the board. photos >>

After an eight month suspension, the ASU Men's Lacrosse Club has been officially reinstated to active status as of October 7th, 2009. The Lacrosse Club has worked closely with Arizona State University administration and staff to get back in good standing with the University’s Sport Club Program. The Club remains on probation, but, this will not limit any of Club's on-field activities, including the 2010 regular season and post season play.

The ASU Men's Lacrosse Club would like to thank all the Parents, Alumni, and fans for their support during this tumultuous period. All the Club's members are excited to get back onto the field and will be starting their fall practices next week.  They will participate in the Annual Best of the West Tournament in Las Vegas, NV on November 6 & 7, 2009.

The ASU Men’s Lacrosse Club was suspended by the University for the 2009 lacrosse season due to violations of the Arizona Board of Regents Student code of Conduct and the ASU Sports Club Athlete Code of Conduct.  Accordingly, the 2009 season was cancelled.  The 2009 Men’s Lacrosse Team would like to apologize to Arizona State University, alumni, competitors, parents and family members, supporters and the lacrosse community in general for its actions.  We regret the unfortunate actions that caused our 2009 seniors to lose their final season.
 
We have been working closely with the University staff to improve the ASU Men’s Lacrosse Club for the future.  We will have tryouts and begin fall workouts in September and look forward to a successful 2010 season.
 
Please contact me if you have any questions.
