USA and Canada opened up the World Lacrosse Men’s Championship in San Diego last night. It was a DU homecoming of sorts with TD Ierlan, Danny Logan, and Trevor Baptiste playing for the US. Newly minted Denver head coach Matt Brown led Team Canada which featured former DU star at attack Wesley Berg, who famously scored the overtime snipe against Notre Dame in the semifinals to send the Pioneers to their first-ever national title game in 2015, as well as current Pio Casey Wilson. Following a knotted first half, Team USA stymied the Canucks in the second half to forge a 7-5 win.
Last nights game was a sleeper due on to no shot clock and our PIO fogos dominance
We’re still a long time from getting a shot clock in international lacrosse, IMHO. They are expensive to buy and require a skilled operator to be effective, and a number of developing countries can’t afford to buy them right now.
