Outlaws Look For Revenge - Denver Welcomes Philadelphia Barrage on Saturday

Denver–July 17, 2007 – The Denver Outlaws return to INVESCO Field at Mile High on Saturday, July 21, to take on an Eastern Conference foe in the Philadelphia Barrage in a rematch of last year’s MLL Championship game.

In that game, Barrage midfielder Roy Colsey scored a postseason record 10 points and Philadelphia face-off specialist Paul Cantabene won a playoff record 27 face-offs as the Barrage won the title by a final score of 23-12.

Philadelphia (6-2) rides into town tied for first place in their division. The Barrage are coming off a 12-7 victory over New Jersey on July 12. Led by attackman Ryan Boyle, whose 41 points make him the third highest point man in the MLL, the Barrage have won three straight games and look to make it four in a row against Denver.

The Outlaws dropped their last game by a final score of 17-5. The loss came against the division leading L.A Riptide and drops the Outlaws to 4-4 on the season.

The Barrage may have gotten the best of the Outlaws in the past, but Denver attackman Brendan Mundorf looks to put pressure on the 2006 Warrior Goalie of the Year Brian Dougherty and get the Outlaws a much-needed victory.

Denver travels to L.A. on Saturday

Denver–July 12, 2007 – The Denver Outlaws hit the road on Saturday, July 14, to take on the L.A. Riptide.

The Riptide enter this weekend with a 5-2 record and currently sit in first place in the Western Conference. The Outlaws sit at 4-3, which puts them in second position in the division.

The two teams met once before this season, with Denver getting the best of the Riptide by a final score of 18-15 on June 9 at INVESCO Field @ Mile High.

In that game, attackman Brendan Mundorf led the Outlaws with 8 points and his college teammate Drew Westervelt had a terrific professional debut, scoring 4 goals and chipping in 3 assists.

Fans can expect a shootout, as Denver looks to improve to 5-0 all-time against the Riptide. The Outlaws took all three games from Los Angeles in 2006 and will look to make a move on the division leader in the coming weeks.

Men’s Elite

Championship
Go Fast 7, Lax Grip 6

It was lacrosse at its finest and one of the best Championships in years at the 35th annual Vail Lacrosse Shootout. It was a close game throughout with Go Fast winning their first title on their third trip to the championship game.

Jon Barocas and his team, Go Fast, were able to outlast Team Lax Grip for a one goal victory. It was the first one goal championship game since Lax World won over Under Armor 13-12 in 2000. It was a truly exciting lacrosse game in which Go Fast led almost the entire way. Michael Donegar, tournament all-star and Offensive MVP, scored four goals to help Go Fast win. Donegar was impressive, especially in the 4th quarter when he took over the game. Two of Donegar’s goals came back-to-back in the beginning of the last period to give Go Fast enough of a lead to win their first championship. Donegar was Go Fast’s go-to weapon in the 2nd half. He did a great job of leading the offense, and creating opportunities for himself against a staunch Lax Grip defense.

This championship tied for the all time lowest scoring game in Vail shootout history and was a credit to both goalies, both of whom put on memorable performances. Go Fast’s Doc Schneider and Lax Grip’s Chris Sanderson each made several outstanding saves in the final game. Sanderson tallied seventeen saves in the game while Schneider ended the game with eight saves. Even though Schneider has less than half the saves of his counterpart he made several one-on-one saves that were crucial to his team’s victory.

The tournament dark horse Lax Grip battled hard the entire game but Go Fast’s depth was too tough to over come. For Lax Grip, Andrew Wasik also had a notable performance. The attackmen from Pace University scored four of his team’s six goals and earned a place on the All-Tournament Team.

Like all games in the Vail Shootout, this one was played with a thirty second shot clock. This game was what the rule makers had in mind when they decided to institute the shot clock at the tournament. With incredibly quick pace the end to end action seemed to never stop as the first half was played in a speedy thirty-three minutes. While this game was a defensive struggle almost the entire way it will now take its place as one of the most thrilling games in tournament history.
