Sept 21, 2002: The second annual Tom Foster Lacrosse Invitation Celebration (13th overall) witnessed some great lacrosse action and the birth of the Fighting Nutria, the new Eugene Lacrosse Club mascot! This year's tournament featured all seven B league teams as well as the Old Growth club from the Seattle area. The weather was gorgeous, the fields soft (thank god!), and the lacrosse fun. Eugene hosted a Saturday night drink up "on the terrace" at the Wild Duck and team members all enjoyed themselves at the Eugene Celebration in downtown Eugene.
