The transaction listing simply read that Gavin Prout, Nick Carlson, Josh Black, Gord Nash, and Matt Shearer of the New York Saints (National Lacrosse League) had been granted unrestricted free-agent status. The events that unfolded over the last seven months preceding that announcement cast a black mark on the team’s ownership and the National Lacrosse League. |

The Moorestown Lady Quakers added "four-pete" to their trophy case as they dominated West Essex to win the NJSIAA girls lacrosse state championship. They saved their best game for last in the 15-1 victory at Rutgers' Yurcak Field in Piscataway, and they did it in a pouring rain. Even more remarkable is that Moorestown's senior class finished their four years only experiencing one loss (a 6-5 loss on May 17 to St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School of Alexandria, VA). |

The crowd had lined the sidelines in anticipation of watching two excellent girl's lacrosse teams compete for the South Jersey Group A title. It had already been determined by most at the beginning of the season that the Lady Renegades from Shawnee would be meeting the Lady Quakers from Moorestown sometime during the post season. Both of these teams cruised past their opponents in the bracket to get to today’s competition. It would not be an easy game for either team as they only scored a total of eight goals during the first half. Moorestown would get two goals from Margie Curran and Megan Nutter to break a nine all tie to send the Lady Quakers on the field in celebration of their 11-9 win. |

Katie Hammond scored her only goal of the game with 1:02 left to play, but it was the one that counted in awarding Cherry Hill East (7-6) with a 10-9 win over Camden Catholic (6-6). The win snapped a 3 game losing streak for the Lady Cougars. Julie Lukoff led Cherry Hill East with four goals. |

So far this season, Cherokee and Shawnee boys lacrosse teams have gotten off to a quick start as first year programs. Both teams have a host of seniors along with some talented juniors and sophomores that have led their teams above the level of other first year programs. Every team has been searching for particular players to take charge and absorb some of the leadership roles that others to follow. Senior Shawn Pettit and sophomore Keith Priftie each netted 3 goals apiece for Shawnee during their Olympic Conference American Division matchup against Cherokee. The Renegades would go on to dominate this game and roll past Cherokee by outscoring the Chiefs 10-2. |

Collingswood senior Allie Frengs scored all four of her goals in the second half to make the difference in an 11-8 win over Lenape. Goalie Staci Waligorski made 19 saves to keep the Indians from coming back at the end. Lauren Pfeiffer led the Lenape offense with 3. |

It's a good thing that lacrosse players must have numbers on their jerseys, otherwise you would not have been able to tell Whitney (#18) and Hillary (#9) Richards apart on the field. The two Holy Cross juniors showed a balance of scoring, assists, and defense in helping the Lady Lancers defeat Cherokee for the first time in their lacrosse history. Senior Kristin Zucconi led all scoring with 5 goals in the 13-8 win. But the 13-8 final score doesn't begin to show how intense was the offensive pressure of the Lady Lancers. |

It was a game that was mainly considered a sport played by one gender throughout South Jersey, but this season the boys have formed new teams representing the Olympic Conference. Cherokee and Vineland were two of those new teams from the newly formed American Division battling it out on the field. It will take some time before the boy’s portion of the sport will get some recognition, but it will continue to grow. Cherokee dominated the play against Vineland by posting a 14-2 win. |

It was gut check time for the Philadelphia Wings (7-5) as the National Lacrosse League’s top team, the Buffalo Bandits (9-2) came to town on the heels of a six-game winning streak. Philadelphia, playing their best lacrosse of the season and on their own four-game winning streak, was ready for the challenge. Buffalo uses their physical style of play to set up their offensive game; witness the Bandits atop the NLL rankings in penalties/minutes per game (13.5/32:00) and goals per game (15.4). The Wings game plan was basic: grab the early lead, keep Buffalo’s physical presence from setting up an offensive outburst in the final quarters of the first and second half, and avoid power play and transition goals. |

First place feels good for the Philadelphia Wings (6-5) as they knocked Colorado from the top spot with a 15-14 win over the lowly New York Saints (1-11). As they did last year following a 1-3 start, the Wings continue to claw their way back to contention after this year’s 2-5 start. |
