Lacrosse looking for players

A player runs down the sideline with the ball and then he passes it across to a teammate, his teammate fires it past the goaltender, the players come together to celebrate the goal and then return to play, hungry for another goal.

This could be you. The Lyndon State College Lacrosse team is looking for players for the upcoming season. Each team has to have ten players on the field at one time, and a good-sized lacrosse team often has 25-30 on the roster.

Craig Salvagno, lacrosse team captain said that the team had about twenty players last season and fourteen or fifteen of them are coming back this season. Of those twenty players last season thirteen of them had never played organized lacrosse before. “It was the teams first season and a good learning year for all the new players,” said Salvagno. “If someone has never played and is looking to they can come out.”

Last season was Lyndon’s first year having a division three lacrosse team, because of that they were not eligible for post season play. This season however is different. The team is now a varsity division three NCAA team and will be eligible for the post season.

“Last year we did not really play as a team, and that should change this season, we have a lot of guys coming back and are starting to work as a team already” Salvagno said.

The regular season will not start until March but the team is starting to practice. They are doing drills and scrimmaging to get the returning players back to where they should be and the new players acclimated to the team.
