Boston, MA - The U.S. National Team imposed its own brand of lacrosse Thursday, using a punishing defense and an opportunistic offense to defeat the Major League Lacrosse All-Stars, 18-10, at the MLL All-Star Game before 9,234 fans at Nickerson Field.

the first annual Sammamish Shootout 3-on-3 lacrosse tournament went off without a hitch on July 3rd.  This tourney used a new tournament format for Washington.  Open to all comers grades 5-12, games are much shorter, and very exciting.  Scoring on a small marker on the field is much different than a 6' by 6' goal, and proved a great change of pace during this endless Lacrosse summer.  Think of 3 on 3 Lacrosse using "Chumash" Rules on a small field as "LACROSSE IN A BLENDER".
