Griz-Cat lacrosse on tap this weekend

Posted on March 20, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe

The University of Montana has dominated Montana State so far this year as the Griz swept the Cats in men's hoops, women's hoops, volleyball and won the Griz-Cat football game. Well, the Griz lacrosse team — damn straight, we have lacrosse team — looks to notch another victory over MSWho.

The University of Montana lacrosse team faces off against the Cats on Saturday as part of a weekend of games in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. The Griz also face Utah Valley State College on Friday and Linfield on Sunday.

For tons of information, head to their website at GrizLAX.com. It is run by team photographer and webmaster, Will Moss.

Here are some basics on the team: they are a club team, meaning that they do not have scholarships and do not get much (any?) financial support from the University. I believe they get as much money as other clubs do, but not near what other actual university-sanctioned sports get.

As a club team, they play in the Men's Collegiate Larosse Association's (nationwide association of club college club teams) Division B. Sure, they're stuck in the lower division, but they do what most Griz teams do and stomp through that lower division. The Griz lacrosse team is ranked third in the latest MLCA Division B poll. I really hope end up topping St. Thomas (preppy MN private school), not a big fan of that place.

For anyone who isn't headed to places like Cabo and Cancun, you should definitely go and check out a couple of games.

Possibly the best Griz coverage to date including the lame articles by the Kaimin and the Missoulian. Nice work, Colin!

Thanks again Will. Still not close to where I want it to be though. Thinking next year will be a break through year with more consistent updates and outside opinions.

I took my son to the football game on October 18th. He loved it. He plays football for the Glacier Wolfpack here in Kalispell, and he saw that nobdy quit until the whistle blow. He loves it. You all really inspired him. I want to say thanks to all the Griz.....

Go Griz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
