Former Vandals Captain the Sun Devils at ASU

Maple Valley Vandal Lacrosse and Tahoma High School Alumni Nick Johnson and Dallas Sessions were named co-captains for the 2008 Arizona State University Sun Devils lacrosse team.  Sun Devil Head coach Chris Malone stated "Being named captain is a great honor as well as a great deal of responsibility.  I am very confident that these young men can lead this team to reach our goals.  ASU had a great season last year and I expect these men to help continue that success.” Sessions and Johnson will both be seniors and have established themselves as team leaders.

Sessions and Johnson played together, starting in the youth program, as members of the Maple Valley Lacrosse Vandal lacrosse program.  Sessions and Johnson’s final season as Vandals was 2002 as members of the varsity squad.  Sessions was co-captain on the 2002 team.

Johnson enters his fourth season with the Sun Devils after graduating from Tahoma High School.  Johnson started every game either as a long stick midfielder or close defensemen.  He played the wing on face-offs and in doing so, notched 88 ground balls on the year leading the team.  He was named an Honorable Mention All-WCLL member in `07.  He and Sessions were HS teammates and have known each other since they were in their youth years.   

Sessions enters his final campaign with the Sun Devils as a repeat captain.  Playing in all 16 games last year as a short stick defensive specialist, he was a valuable part to the team’s best season in its 39 year history.  Sessions was also the short stick defender on the team’s man down unit.
