Fall Ball Recap
Portland lacrosse had a productive and memorable fall ball season this year. In the Laredo Tournament, the team played six games in two days and finished with 4 wins and 2 losses. It was great for the team to get back on the field again.
A few weeks
later, the team traveled down to Salem to play Southern Oregon and Willamette
University. The team ended up winning both
games that day. The entire team gives a
big hand to Willamette for hosting a great event. The next day, Oregon State was kind enough to
travel to Prusynski Field for a rainy Sunday afternoon scrimmage. The teams ended up playing four periods
with the Beavers winning 11-8.
