2010 LAX for the Cure
By Lizzy Guyott, 2011
Central Mass Club Lacrosse raises $4350 for the Komen Foundation!
Being a part of the Central Mass Lacrosse program for 5 years has been a great experience and my most memorable times have been at tournaments. This was my last summer playing with Central Mass as I will be a senior and I will not play in the 2011 summer tournaments The Lax for the Cure Tournament has been my favorite: mostly because the work that was put on behind the scenes.

Team Bonding at the Club Championship Tournament
By Laurel Banach, 2011
Once high school is out for the summer, the fun starts. Not the bonfires, beaches, and break, but club lacrosse. Before the summer of 2010 I only though of club lacrosse as a way of getting noticed by college and being able to act like a total laxer for a few weeks. Rather this summer has opened my eyes to the true purpose of club lacrosse: playing with elite players from all the teams in the league. Even more so, this summer I actually began to create life long bonds with these teammates. Rarely would I have monster mesh parties and shoot nerf guns at anyone besides family and my closest friends. We shared rooms with girls that had equipment smelling just as bad as mine did and we were able to talk about some of our greatest strengths and insecurities. We were friends before the trip to Maryland, and after we left that bus, we were sisters linked by twine and sweet shades.
