Check out the new poll!

I hope everyone had a great holiday and rang in 2009 with style!

Please check out the poll towards the bottom of the page to vote for the game you are most excited for! The choices are:

February 6, 2009 @ 10:00 p.m.
(Game played at Shattuck-St. Mary's dome)
North Dakota State University @ Saint John's
First game of the 2009 season! Rematch of a very close game during the 2008 regular season (which the Johnnies won 11-10) and the 2008 UMLL Championship semifinal game (which the Johnnies also won 10-6). The Bison have established themselves as a powerhouse in the UMLL Division II and have given Saint John's some very close games. Mark this one on your calendars and be sure to take a nap so the Johnnies have some wide awake fans on February 6th!

Grand Valley State University @ Saint John's
While in Texas, Saint John's got to know the members of the GVSU lacrosse team. There was a lot of talk about getting together to play a game in 2009. Well here it is. GVSU finished 2nd in the nation in 2008, losing to Westminster 17-10 in the MCLA Championship game. However, with impressive wins over Southwestern (23-13) and St. Thomas (13-11), do not underestimate them. Keep this date circled and be ready for a great game.

Saint John's @ Saint Thomas
This really needs no explanation. If you aren't looking forward to the Tommie/Johnnie game...you must not like lacrosse that much. Whenever these two teams get together, they generally draw out hundreds and hundreds of lacrosse fans from around the Twin Cities. This is a rematch of the 2008 UMLL Championship game which the Johnnies hung on to win 8-7. With former Johnnie, Tony Sadder (Junior, Midfield) now in the Tommie purple and white, along with standout Joe Costello (Sophomore, Midfield), the Tommies will give it their all to defeat the Johnnies. However, the Johnnies have a commanding lead on the all-time series, and do not plan on surrendering the game. Be there, or turn in your lacrosse fanhood.

Let's hear which game you're most excited for in the 2009 season!
