SANDY, UTAH – June 5, 2008 – In an effort to reach out and make a difference in young lives the Utah Lacrosse Association (ULA), in conjunction with a Northern Colorado US Lacrosse chapter, are making it possible for a group of inner-city kids from Denver to participate in the ULA’s annual Ski Town Lacrosse Shoot Out.

By each covering half of the Native Lacrosse team’s registration cost, the ULA and the Colorado Lacrosse Foundation have made it possible for the non-profit youth organization to participate in this annual event. Native Lacrosse will be one of more than 45 youth teams from across the western US at the Park City event helping create a diverse and learning atmosphere.

Native Lacrosse Inc., created in 1996, has the mission of instilling pride and empowerment in the hearts and minds of Denver Metro’s American Indian children through the game of lacrosse. “Because of the generosity of these two US Lacrosse chapters, these kids have a once in a lifetime experience in store for them,” says program coordinator, Alex Vigil, of Native Lacrosse Inc.

“Ski Town is about learning, sharing, and honoring the roots of the game. The tournament brings youth from different states and different walks of life together to compete and make friends. We are pleased to help Native Lacrosse in their mission to expand horizons and to help grow the sport of lacrosse” says tournament director Michael O’Malley.

The boys and girls tournament is scheduled to run from Thursday, June 12th through Saturday, June 14th in Park City. Games will be played at the Park City Recreation Complex at Quinn’s Junction and Basin Recreation’s Ecker Hill field complex. Utah teams will match up with teams from Colorado, California, Texas, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon.

No. 1 Cherry Creek Wins Third Straight State Championship

Junior middie McKenzie Brown scored seven goals and dished one assist to lead No. 1 Cherry Creek to a 15-12 victory over No. 4 Heritage/Littleton in the Colorado High School Activities Association state championship game Wednesday night at Douglas County Stadium.

Senior middie Lauren Johnson added six points on three goals and three assists, and senior middie Allie Welsh registered five points on two goals and three assists, as Cherry Creek (15-4) won its third straight state title and fifth championship in the last six years.

Senior attack Leslie Brentlinger, senior attack Kathryn Keppler and senior middie Morgan Johnson all finished with two points on a goal and an assist for Cherry Creek, which has now won eight state championships.

Cherry Creek was a perfect 14-0 against in-state competition this season, and the Bruins have now won 27 straight against Colorado teams. Cherry Creek is also on a 42-game unbeaten streak against its in-state rivals, having not lost to a Colorado team since March 14, 2006.

“We only had two kids on this team who were returning starters,” said Cherry Creek Coach Cayel Dwyer, who won his fourth state championship. “To be able to win another state championship, it’s a huge accomplishment. And it all comes down to the work ethic of our players.”

In a losing effort, junior middie Liz Datino scored four goals and added one assist, freshman middie Anna Salemo and senior middie Olivia Annalora each netted four goals, and senior goalie Anna Wallingford saved 21 shots for Heritage/Littleton, which finished the season 16-3.

Cherry Creek led 6-4 at halftime before scoring three unanswered goals to start the second half and push ahead, 9-4. Cherry Creek took its biggest lead of the game at 11-5 after Brown scored with 21:54 remaining.

Heritage/Littleton fought back, closing the deficit all the way down to two goals at 14-12 following Datino’s fourth goal with 3:03 remaining in regulation. But Brentlinger answered to put the Bruins back up by three goals with 2:12 to play.

“They played great midfield defense, and we struggled early,” Dwyer said. “We were able to get our transition game going, and what we found out is if you move the goalie left to right, it’s a lot easier to beat her.”
