WOODSON KNOCKS OFF MARSHALL IN PLAYOFF'S FIRST ROUND
Again this year we faced perennial front-runner Woodson as our first-round opponent in the Liberty
District playoffs. It was a high-scoring affair, and yes, that included four put through the pipes by our guys.
Our Statesmen represented Marshall with pride, spirit
and relentless determination. Unfortunately, Woodson played a terrific game (as they
have against the rest of the Liberty District this year) and took the game by a final score of 18-4.

Thank you to everyone who contributed so much this year. Thank you Seniors.
Thank you Statesmen.
Looking forward to next year! Marshall Pride!

HUGE WIN ON SENIOR NIGHT
LaxPower predicted it would be a very tight contest and that's just what it was!
But at the final whistle, the scoreboard showed our Statesmen with a hard-fought 8-6 win over the Highlanders.
--
It was a TOUGH, one-goal loss for our JV. (Man ... so CLOSE!)

On Friday, LaxPower says the Jefferson game is gonna be another tight matchup,
but of course we'll be On The Road. We really need our fans to come out ... plus of course, it's the final regular

4/2/09 - Woodson and Madison
STATESMEN LOSE A SET ON THE ROAD
Our Statesmen took to the road for games at Woodson and Madison, and came out a bit road weary
but definitely improving in the process. The scoreboards both showed why Woodson is ranked #2 in the Northern Virginia
Region, and Madison is ranked #3. Just a TON of firepower on both of those squads.
--
The final varsity score at Woodson was 16-4 in favor of the Cavaliers, and at Madison the final margin
was 18-5. The JV squad lost a pair as well, dropping the Woodson game 10-2 and the Madison game 19-1.
--
View From The Stands won't say that the rest of the schedule this year is easy--because it's not.
But by comparison, it's not gonna be as rough as the first half of the year. The Liberty District is always
the most competitive district in all of Virginia lacrosse--which is good because we're facing the very best there is.
But it means that we've now faced the #1, #2 and #3 ranked teams in the Northern Virginia.
I'll admit ... I'm looking forward to facing someone who's not in the top ten for a change :-)
--
Our next test is a non-conference bout against Edison, a National District foe which is coming off a big win over Wakefield
and an overtime squeaker over West Potomac. AND IT'S A HOME GAME! (Finally :-)
Be there, Statesmen fans!

3/25/09 - Fairfax High School
REBELS TAKE PAIR AT FAIRFAX STADIUM
View From The Stands
tells us that the Varsity game against the Division 6 Rebels--on the road--was a HUGE test ... right from the opening
faceoff. Both teams pressed as hard as they could, and neither team could break onto the scoreboard.
At the end of the first quarter, the Fairfax Stadium scoreboard showed the two teams were all tied up at
A Couple Nice Chances But Nothing In The Net. Eventually it was Fairfax that got the first goal of the game,
and our Statesmen immediately battled back.
Kevin Smith scored, Kayvon Nikbakhshian got a goal, and Peter Martinez lit it up as well.
But what we saw was pretty straightforward: Despite everything we tried, the Rebels were scoring in
clumps and we were scoring in ones. And that'll do you in almost every time. Final score was 8-4 ...
but it was a heckuva game.
-- Friday is another tough challenge against another Division 6 opponent--WT Woodson--and yup, we are officially
On The Road Again™ :-)
Be there, Statesmen fans!

5/5/08 - Woodson High School
STATESMEN LOSE IN PLAYOFFS TO TOP-SEEDED CAVS, BUT SHOW BIG IMPROVEMENTS
The final score was 19-5,
but View From The Stands tells me we spent a fair amount of time on
Woodson's side of the field. And more than just spending time there, we cranked up a
bucket-full of shots and put five of 'em between the pipes!
The last time we played this Division 6 opponent--just last Tuesday--we were shut out.
Obviously, our defensemen were Always On, and responded with pride and determination.
Head, Heart, Hustle ... Marshall Pride! Marshall Lacrosse!

SENIOR NIGHT BRINGS A FLOOD OF MEMORIES!
View From The Stands tells me this was a night filled with
mixed emotions. In the actual game, we were up against one of the strongest teams we've played
all year ... so the scoreboard was officially Not Our Friend. But for Senior Night we were
seeing the last regular-season outing for a group of six players--and three managers--who
we've been with for Quite A While. In the end, the emotion that won us over was what
we saw on the field: That's where we saw the type of determination, energy, heart and hustle
that this team has displayed from day one. That's the character in this team.
And we see it every game--from the opening tip off to the closing whistle!
--
Head. Heart. Hustle.
That's Marshall Lacrosse. That's Marshall Pride.
--
OK, so the JV season ended with a loss. But this is one of those times when the 8-4
scoreboard was completely misleading. (You really should come out to the JV games--they're
fun to watch and the journey these guys have taken is pretty remarkable!)
The Cavaliers jumped out to a huge lead to begin the game. But after that initial push,
things started to change. It was hard to see at first, and it wasn't all at once.
Slowly, but steadily, View From The Stands says our players were coming into their own.
Even though we were still spending most of the time on our side of the field, our defense was
playing terrific lacrosse out there. We've been watching this squad improve all year, and in this
game we watched them improve in the course of minutes--from one quarter to the next.
By the middle of the second quarter Woodson still had their 6-0 lead, but the scoring was
pretty much stopped. And we seemed to figure out that this Cavaliers team could be pressured.
After the half, we turned the corner and went on offense. Big time.
Suddenly, the game was being played more on their end of the field than in ours.
And our shots started hitting home. In the second half we got goals from
Jon Torre, Mark Bergenholtz, Ben Gentile and Alex Guerin. We definitely battled back, but
not all the way. Woodson's offense added another two, so the final score was 8-4, but this
was a very encouraging game for View From The Stands--the progress we've seen from
this JV squad, many of whom had never played lacrosse before three months ago, was nothing
short of amazing.
--
Our Varsity had a tough, tough night. Division 6 Woodson has had only one loss this year in the
ultra-competitive Liberty District, and they're ranked in the top 10 for all of Northern Virginia.
Sure enough, we spent almost the entire game on the Wrong Side Of The Field. Ironically,
View From The Stands tells me that our Statesmen were playing really well on defense--with
a huge amount of determination and energy, every minute of the game. OK, so the Woodson
offense was very strong. And they got their goals--16 of 'em before the night was
done. But there was also some amazing defense out there. Played by some amazing Statesmen.
--
Speaking of which, halftime saw a well-earned sendoff to a terrific group of Seniors who
have given their all--to Marshall and to the Marshall LAX Program.
LSM Steven Nguyen and middies Matt Chamberlin and Ben Coyle joined Co-captains Michael Born (Mid),
Jonathan Chambers (Def) and Taylor Delean (Def) have been critical parts of this squad
for years. Born, Chambers and Nguyen have been in the program all four years.
A huge note of thanks also went out to the three Senior managers who have been such a key
part of our lacrosse team, and several other Marshall sports as well: Tommy Miossi,
Emily Craig and Lauren Parkhurst.
--
Oh, and the Second Annual Parent Shoot-Out? (Hehe! :-) Lacrosse balls were
flyin' everywhere! View From The Stands was so busy ducking that
he probably didn't get all the names right, but we think we saw Michael Born's Dad,
Taylor Delean's parents, Matt Chamberlin's parents, Steven Nguyen's Dad, Ben Coyle's Mom,
and Jon Chambers' Dad. The winning score was two, and I think it was a tie
between Mrs. Delean and Mr. Nguyen. Trust me on this, you do not want to be in the
line of fire when these parents wind up with a lacrosse stick in their hands. :-)
--
Now for next year what other skills can we add to the contest?
Face-offs? (Probably not. :-) Ground balls? (OK, that would be fun. ;-)
Then my own personal favorite--the poke check challenge! ... :-) ... OK
maybe we'll stick with the Shoot Out. A great time was had by all!
--
Head. Heart. Hustle.
Marshall Lacrosse.
Thank you Seniors!

TWO NAILBITERS AGAINST TJ!
So it's true, our win-loss record hasn't been very pretty this year,
but the level of play on the field out there has been exciting, hard-fought and always
entertaining. Every game, every faceoff, every whistle--from start to finish.
--
Thursday night saw two complete nailbiters and View From The Stands was on the edge
of his seat from the opening whistle of the JV game to the closing whistle of the nightcap. (Whew!)
--
The JV game set the tone for the night and the outcome, as they say, couldn't have been
closer. (Literally. :-) It started out as yet another JV defensive struggle,
although TJ took the opening lead. The Colonials were up 2-0 going into the second quarter,
then our Statesmen closed the gap to 2-1 just before halftime. As the third quarter started,
our Statesmen hit the scoreboard for another three to take a 4-3 lead. Our lead held up until the
final two minutes and TJ tied it up. There was no more scoring after that and the final was a
dramatic 4-4 tie! Wow! Goals were scored by Cameron Holdaway, Ryan Walter and Ben Gentile,
and we saw some great goalie work out there by Carl Marquez.
--
The two Varsity squads continued the "close game" theme that was established in the JV contest,
but the overall feel for the game was very different. Instead of thrashing through a
hard-fought defensive struggle, the two Varsity teams lit it up and entertained the fans with
a hard-fought offensive struggle.
--
The nightcap was a high-scoring affair, but when the dust settled
it was TJ with a final scoring outburst that pulled the Colonials ahead with an 11-8 lead
as the clock wound down to zero.
--
View From The Stands says there was lots of energy, focus and effort
out there for our Statemen tonight!
--
Next week is Senior Night with the final home game of the year being the makeup game
against Liberty District co-leaders Woodson. Buckle up folks, and I'm not just talking about the
Second Annual Senior Parent Shoot-Out :-).

JV WINS 1-0 SHUTOUT OVER MCLEAN
A shutout??? And a one to nothing shutout? Wow!
The Varsity game was pretty painful as the Highlanders offense got on track early
and often, but the JV game had everyone buzzin'. (View From The Stands says the
last time he remembers a 1-0 lacrosse score, it was when he
was playing college ball at Delaware with wooden sticks.) (But I digress :-)
--
Well, we've told you before
that this JV squad is showing remarkable improvements and here we are with a two-game
winning streak!!
--
Obviously, it was a hard-fought defensive game, highlighted--on defense--by
the efforts of Quan Nguyen, Kevin Malone, Alex Freedman and Ryan Walters. Our goalie,
Carl Marquez had an astonishing game with a shutout. The game-winning goal was scored by
Ben Gentile assisted by Marc Bergenholtz.
--
Final score on the Varsity was McLean 17-5. Final on the JV was a
nothing-short-of-amazing 1-0 in favor of our Statesmen.

Next week should be the makeup Woodson game and TJ, but watch the schedule carefully--that

STATESMEN EARN SPLIT AT WASHINGTON-LEE
View From The Stands says you should ALWAYS show up on time!
And by "on time" we mean THE FIRST THIRTY SECONDS because that's all it took for our JV Statesmen
to light up the scoreboard! Wow!
--
Is the JV squad coming along? Check this: We jumped all over the Generals
in the first quarter and when the clock read 0:00, the scoreboard showed the Statesmen ahead 5-0!
But then the home team righted themselves and fought hard to even things up. (Still some lessons
to learn, eh? :-) At the half we still had a lead, but the 6-4 margin was pretty tense.
This was a hard-hitting game and several on our team left with injuries, but we pushed through and
held off a late surge on a chilly afternoon. JV goals came from Hardaway, Gentile, Newton and
Guerin--finishing with the highest goal output of the year. Luke Brogan, normally a
long-stick middie, filled in admirably in goal when Carl Marquez was forced to serve a penalty.
Mike Withrow was credited with several assists in the game. Final score ... for the JV's
second win this year ... Marshall 10, Washington-Lee 8.
--
On the Varsity, a tight defense held the Generals to the lowest goals-against for a first half
this year, with the score 4-3 in Washington-Lee's favor. But the Statesmen were stymied in the
second half and couldn't break through the Generals defense--scoring just one more goal for the
rest of the game. We tied it up 4 all, but then late in the third quarter the Generals broke it open
and we couldn't muster the offensive pressure to come back.
--
Peter Martinez had a stellar night as he erupted for his first 2 goals of the year in the
first half. Kevin Smith added the other two for the Statesmen and Sam Newland was credited
with an assist. The defense had 14 take-aways in the game, including 4 by Taylor Delean,
but with much of the second half played in front of our net it was too much to ask.
--
The next game is away at McLean Thursday night, and then we have back-to-back games Wednesday
(Woodson) and Thursday (TJ) next week to close out the regular season. Thursday is Senior Night,
honoring our Seniors before the game. And YES, it will include the
Second Annual Senior Parent Shoot-Out at halftime! Oh man, you DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!

take us on at Jimmy Miller.
--
Oh man the 7th-ranked Warhawks are playing great lacrosse this year
and the scoreboard showed it: Final for the Varsity was 18-3 and the JV tally was 13-1.
--
The lone JV score came from Cameron Holdaway. And, well, our defense got a lot of
practice since we played most of the game on our end of the field.
View From The Stands saw some remarkable defensive plays from Alex Freedman out
there, and several blocked goals
from Carl Marquez.

First the JV: What amazing progress they've made this year. Remember that over half the
squad has never played lacrosse before, and yet here they are closing out this game
in a ONE GOAL NAILBITER! Southlake 8 - Marshall 7. Goals for Marshall were scored by
Cameron Holdaday, Ben Gentile and Alex Guerin. Great offensive and defensive hits
by Quan Nguyen, Brecken Newton, and Eddie Stevenson.
--
I don't have any writeup yet on
the Varsity game but it's clear from the 15-8 final score (in favor of the host Seahawks)
that this was an offensive-highlights kind of game.
--
View From The Stands tells me not to be deceived--that there were some real gutty,
tough-nosed plays on defense as well. It's just that the offense (both theirs AND ours)
just Had It Going On.
So it's Get Back Up time tonight in a tough matchup against Madison. At home.

It was a high-scoring affair, and there was plenty to keep
View From The Stands on the edge of his very wet seat,
but at the final whistle the scoreboard read 11-7 in favor of the Other Guys.
The JV score was 10-2 in a game that wasn't quite so high-scoring, and yet very

WCAC O'CONNELL OFFENSE TAKES OVER ON SATURDAY
If we're committed to getting better, if we want to do better is District play,
there's no substitute for simply upping the level of competition. And by putting two of the
DC/WCAC schools on our schedule this year we have definitely upped
the level of competition. :-)
We are improving and we are committed to making those improvements.
And yet, View From The Stands tells me that you can see a little frustration creeping in.
--
The Knights took the JV opener in this Saturday away trip by a score of 10-4. Eddie Stevenson
actually notched up the first goal of the game on a lightning-quick strike to set up what we
hoped was going to be a positive tone for the final outcome. But it was a while
before we got on the scoreboard again. Ben Gentile got one of those scores, and so did Alex Guerin.
(I'm not sure who put in the fourth.)
--
The Varsity contest was dominated by some very skilled O'Connell players who always seemed to
have a feel for where the openings were--even when the rest of Us Mortals were focusing
on the loose balls and general lacrosse field mayhem :-). Final score in the Varsity game
was 11-3, and we really did end up playing most of the game on their side of the field.
--
Stone Bridge is next, and this will be a real wild-card event. Stone Bridge always brings good
athletes to the field, but you never know what kind of LAX that'll translate into.

their second-strng Varsity to play the JV game (two years ago there was no JV game at all).

LANGLEY OVERDOGS PREVAIL
Ouch! Our Statesmen never gave up out there, and yet the
perennial Liberty District overdogs from Langley knocked us around a bit and the final
scoreboards (16-4 for the Varsity and 9-0 for the JV) reflected the fact that these
guys are good!
--
As View From The Stands put it, This is what puts the Pain in No Pain No Gain! ...
This is what puts the Get Knocked Down in Get Up Again, You're Never Gonna Keep Me Down!
This was a rough one because we were coming off a good Spring Break and had hoped
to stay out of the defensive end more than we did.
--
On the other hand, we're playing good teams, and our JV (like they did last year) is improving
visibly. So many of the JV came ot Marshall with no LAX experience at all, and
sometimes it seems like you can see improvements as they happen on the field.

This Saturday, the level of competition stays high. We're on the road against
