At La Jolla High School, expectations for this year’s Vikings boys lacrosse team are high. Last year’s team had a 15-5 record and was ranked in the top five in San Diego.

The team will play its first varsity home game at 7 p.m. March 12 against Santa Fe Christian.

The Vikings return the entire starting attack, which had one of the most potent offenses in the state, with seniors Michael Soumekh, Taylor Bourgeois and Max Rutman. Junior Matt Ohara will anchor the midfield with help from senior Michael Colarusso. On defense, the Vikings are led by standout goaltender James Cochrane and defenseman Andrew Jones, both seniors.

The Vikings are welcoming two new coaches to the team: Max Zarchin, who won a Division III national title playing goalie for Salisbury State University; and strength and conditioning coach Jon Lemery.

In addition, the middle school level has two new coaches and is fielding two teams with more than 50 players and will start league play in mid-March. At the elementary school level, there have been lacrosse demonstrations at all La Jolla schools resulting in lacrosse being added to several P.E. scheduled activities.

Western College Men’s Lacrosse: BYU Men’s Lacrosse Looks To Bounce Back Against Westminster

Posted on March 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

The BYU lacrosse team looks to rebound against Westminster after suffering its second defeat of the season last Saturday against the University of Michigan. The Cougars will face off against the Griffins tonight at 7 p.m. at the North University Field.

BYU coach Matt Schneck said the Michigan game was a back-and-forth battle.

“At the end of the day, Michigan was more disciplined than we were, and that was the difference,” Schneck said.

The No. 1 ranked Wolverines were able to defeat the Cougars by a final score of 13-9, increasing their active win streak to 43.

“Michigan is a great team, and they are proving that week in and week out,” said senior and captain Elliot Grow from Salt Lake City. “We showed times of greatness and at times we didn’t. We need to be more focused and disciplined and play our game. We can’t get out of our game plan and we did on Saturday.”

Despite the loss, the Cougars jumped to No. 4 in the current Men’s College Lacrosse Association magazine rankings that came out on Monday.

The Cougars will now turn their focus to Westminster. The Cougars have never faced the Griffins in a regular season game, and know that they will have a target on their backs, being that they have not lost to another Utah school in over eight years in lacrosse.

“Westminster has an exceptional coach in Mason Goodhand,” Schneck said. “He is one of the founders in the state of Utah for lacrosse. We expect that they are going to come out with something to prove.”

Schneck said the team is taking this game as serious as the Michigan game, and expect to execute in a more effective way. He also said the coaching staff will continue to tweak the lineup until they can find the consistent balance on the field that they are looking for.

“Our team chemistry is getting better every practice,” Grow said. “We’re excited to get back on the field and prove what we can do as a team.”
