Holden Savoie ’16 and Edwin Pigeon ’16 holding the Div. II trophy.
This season, Crusader Lacrosse Alumni were instrumental in the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s win in the Lone Star Alliance (LSA) Division II Lacrosse Championship. ULL had raced out to a 9-4 halftime lead and held off a second-half charge from UT-Dallas, to win the 2017 Lone Star Alliance Division II Lacrosse Championship by a score of 11-8 in Dallas. ULL secured a berth in the 16 team Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) National Championship in Irvine, CA this coming weekend. Edwin Pigeon ‘16 scored three goals against the UT-Dallas Comet’s, and goalie Michael Olivio ’14 had a superb game inside the net for ULL to hold the Comets to eight goals in the finals. On Saturday, ULL beat the Baylor Bears 11-10 in an exciting OT to advance from the semifinals to Sunday’s championship game.
Crusader Lacrosse Alumni pictured with the LSA Division II trophy are Edwin Pigeon ’16, Nicholas Moll ’13, Kyle Manning ’13, Michael Olivio ’14, and Holden Savoie ’16. Good luck to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s Lacrosse team and our Crusader Lacrosse Alumni at Nationals this coming weekend.
