ALSO!!! Scott O'Connor, Steve Wheeler, and Trent Noonan all recieved Academic All-America Recognition! Players second, students first. Nice job guys.

Let this be a lesson to us all- Hit the wall and hit the books!!!

5-12-07 Thanks to all who came to the end of the year team banquet last night. It was a great success with lots of good food and fun. The team did a great job this year.

Don't think that you have to wait until the season to start getting better. "Championship teams are made in off season." Starting TODAY, you will throw for 5 minutes against a wall. (2.5 lefty, 2.5 righty) Then go about your day. Also starting today, hit the weight room every other day. We're generally a small team and need to get stronger. Finally, every other day starting today, take a mile run. (It is not that far- just take a jog around your neighborhood.) Maybe you want to do it in the morning before you take your shower.

Don't put these things off until later. The time is now, so get to work. All this stuff goes for you new guys too! Have a great summer.

5-5-07 RMLC Div. B All-Conference Teams Released. Mines had 5 appearances this year including first teamers senior Scott O'Connor and freshman Steve Wheeler.

10-15-06 On Saturday, Mines went to the CSU Invitational Round Robin representing Division B. The first game was against CSU ending in a remarkable 2-8 loss. Mike Stone's brother, who plays for CSU, scored twice on heavy screens and a good feed. They no longer speak to each other. Everyone seemed to have a good time at that game. The last time Mines played CSU the score was 1-20. Obviously, Mines has a lot more talent on the field than last time. Then, immediately back to work, Mines played DU's club team. That game ended in a tie after one sudden death overtime and no change from the 4-4 score. Mike Stone had a mentionable day in goal, Mike Rensberger, Scott OConnor and Bud Ribley were great at midfield, and everyone of the defense in general was on top of their game. Overall, Mines played great. It was a fun and successful weekend.

Playing in three games, Mines showed a few teams how we will be a team to look out for this Spring. On Saturday, Mines beat Metro State 16 seconds into Sudden Death over-time after coming back from a 3 goal deficit and tying the game with 30 seconds in regulation. Mines also faught a fierce battle against Fort Lewis, but didn't come away with the win. On Sunday, for the Semi's, Mines Faced Western State and was down by 4 at the beginning of the 4th quarter. Mines had Western on the run, but couldn't pull it off in time due to a running clock. Mines lost by one goal. Full game reports to follow below.

10-4-06 The RMLC's Governing body, USLIA, is now the MCLA- Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association. It has been known for a while, but officially announced at the RMLC Fall League Meeting.

The MCLA is still sponsered by US Lacrosse, but now has more freedom and room to control playoffs and games as they deem necessary.
