A sad day in the San Joaquin and UOP

[Homebrew]

While investigating their website this morning to find a score for the Utah State v University of the Pacific, the following quote is posted, "Due to unforeseen circumstances the Pacific Men's Lacrosse 2004/2005 season has been canceled as of March 17th, 2005."

That is very unfortunate for the WCLL as Pacific was the last remaining Division B team in Northern California. Also, they have fielded a team for well over 20 years.

Try over thirty years! I played for the Tigers from 1977-79, and we were a decent club team in those days. This is indeed not the news I was waiting for. Here I was already, torn over the UOP-Washington NCAA basketball game that starts shortly, wondering who to root for, when I saw this news item about the lax club folding.

Bummer.

Wonder what "unforeseen circumstances" means....

They had a number of injuries and illnesses that brought their roster under the number of players required to start a game. They will be back next year so don't hold the funeral yet.

That is good news. Let us hope teams from San Jose State, Humboldt State, UC Santa Cruz and California State University, East Bay (A.K.A. CSU-Hayward) can reorganize and rejoin the WCLL soon. Also, with five or six high school teams in the greater Sacramento area, a re-emergence of a team at Sacramento State is possible.
