With a win over then-No. 9 Northern Colorado, Metro State has been selected as the next Onyx/Riddell Lacrosse MCLA Team of the Week.
Metro State topped the UNC Bears 12-11 in overtime Friday, March 14 in what was the Roadrunners’ only game of the week. The Roadrunners capitalized on a man-up opportunity in overtime in order to give them the win.
Michael Romett led Metro State with a three-goal, three-assist performance, while A.J. Martinez chipped in with three goals and two assists.
As a result of their win, the Roadrunners broke into the latest Lax World MCLA Division 2 Top 25 Poll. Metro State entered the poll ranked No. 22 and received 103 points.
As a first year MCLA program, Senior attackman James Foote (Lake Brantley H.S.; Longwood, FL) discussed his team’s recent success.
“Many of the RMLC teams remember the team we had last year. This year’s team has almost a completely different look, especially on defense and at the midfield. We are excited about our success.”
Metro State will host No. 7 Fort Lewis in a key RMLC Division 2 contest on March 29th at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Denver.
For being selected as the Onyx/Riddell Lacrosse MCLA Team of the Week, Metro State will receive a prize pack from Onyx/Riddell Lacrosse, including one Riddell XR Lacrosse Helmet customized in Metro State’s team colors.
