This past Saturday, October 28, the Texas Men's Lacrosse Team held their annual alumni lacrosse game. However, on Friday, Texas coach Jonathan Nickel won a golf tournament composed of alumni and coaches, which we hope becomes a yearly tradition. The tournament took place at the Kizer golf course in Austin and benefited this year's club team. The next afternoon, numerous alumni from across the country challenged the current team to a well-played game as the Texas team prepares for its upcoming season. Fans came out to support both groups, and afterwards everyone was invited to the home of Travis McShane and Dennis Sukholutsky for barbecue and the football game. Starting attackman Evans Swann looked great as he returned from illness, and rookies Tyler Nix and Tyler Cross contributed heavily to the attackmen's success. Paul McCloud, RJ Broderick, and Brian Howe picked up where they left off from last year at midfield, and it appears Max Atherton, Dennis, Ernst Leiss, and Jimmy LeSassier will suffocate and frustrate opposing attackmen. Will Todd, Erick Sanchez, and Towers Wilen all looked great in goal. We appreciate the planning of Zac Wilson, who coordinated the exciting weekend. In addition, we would like to thank each alum who donated his time to support the club team. We look forward to ensuring that Texas dominance in the Lone Star Alliance continues this season.
