Is anyone headed up to Springfield, MO this weekend for the tourney? If so, could you keep the rest of us posted? Missouri loves company...

I'll try to keep everyone posted as often as possible. Games start at 9am but first scores probably won't get in until around 12 or 1. We're looking forward to a great day of games for everyone.

Sorry, didn't get a chance to get away from the games but heres what I know from today..... no exact scores but:
RHIT went 1-2
Rolla went 0-3
Harding went 2-1
Illinois A went 3-0
Illinois B went 3-0 (?)
Missouri State went 1-2
Memphis went 0-3

I'm not sure how Western did but if I did the math right then they would have had to go 2-1.

I'd have to say that Harding had the best showing although I didn't get to see too many B games. They beat Missouri State 8-7 in OT and played an intense and close game against Illinois A....Think Illinois ended up winning by 2 and things definitely got heated in this one. If anyone else wants to fill in a little more feel free to do so.

A Harding defensemen also won the fastest shot contest clocking at 88 mph. Can someone give a name of who that was?
Thanks to everyone who made the trip to Springfield. It was a great day of ball and we hope everyone has a great season!

Bout time we got some updates Beckner... GOSH!

Give me a couple hours and I'll give you the name of the D Pole, my initial guess would be Josh Gronvold.

It was a good day of lacrosse. Thanks to MSU for hosting. We don't normally have a B team. I split the team so we could get everyone playing time.

Illinois A - 8 Memphis - 1
Illinois A - 10 Missouri State - 2
Illinois A - 7 Harding - 4

Illinois B - 8 Rolla - 1
Illinois B - 4 Western Illinois - 2
Illinois B - 5 RHIT - 2

corbin is right. it was josh that won the fastest shot contest.

thanks to ex-SMS (sorry i always forget the new name) for hosting, it was a lot of fun. i hope everyone had as much fun as i did. i really enjoyed getting to talk to the guys at the tournament, and i hope to see them all again in this up coming season.

thanks to ex-SMS again for an amazing game, one of the best i have ever been a part of, i hate that someone had to lose, we both played our hearts out.

encouragement to memphis. having started the team at my high school, and having joined a second year team in college, i know the struggles of starting out a program, you guys played well and are alot better then either of the two teams i just mentioned. i look forward to the next few years of games with you.

congrats to illinois. i had as much fun watching you guys play as i did actually playing against you. you are a very talented team that i fully expect to be a pillar of this conference for years to come. lots of young talent. and a very classy program.
