Lacrosse and Other Things

This past weekend was a big lacrosse weekend for me. My team had our first friendly match. We lost to the Walcountian Blues 15-10 which I guess we took as a good sign because they're one of the best teams in the league and we were missing our three starting attackmen and starting goalie. I had four goals on five shots. Goalkeeping is not very good here. The next day I played for a team called SOCO and Lime (Southern Coaches and Limeys) against the English National Team. Traditionally the team is made up mostly of American coaches but this year most of the clubs wouldn't let their coaches play. We only had five Americans which largely contributed to our 22-6 loss. The other factor was the night before (a beach party hosted by Reading Lacrosse Club). It was still a good experience getting to play against the English National Team though and we had alot of fun. Tuesday night I went to a Pub Quiz with a guy on my team. I proudly represented the states as the only two questions I knew were that the US is the largest English speaking nation in the world and that Ray Croc helped start McDonalds.
