Vail Shootout: News/Results from Day Three
by Alex Smith | Special to
Lacrosse Magazine Online
The Masters Championship was the highlight of the Vail Shootout on
Day 3 as two-time defending champ Jagermeister tangled with
newcomer and mostly Colorado-based Team Genesis for the
title. It was a hard fought game that saw Genesis score with
just under five seconds remaining to claim the win and their first
ever Vail title. See the write-up below for a more detailed
game story.
The Grandmasters division also crowned their champion as the
Quicksilver Eldest Statesmen beat Los Viejos de Adidas 11-2.
The Grandmasters all played their games at 8:30am, which was
perfect for them, but probably a little early for those who stayed
out late on Sunday night. For those that did make it early to
Ford, it was a convincing win for Quicksilver Eldest Statesmen.
On the high school side of things, the Dr. Tom Watts Memorial got
through its Division 1 and 2 Quarterfinals. Among the
semifinal contenders for Monday’s action are Team Ohio, Team
Colorado, FCA Lacrosse and the Baltimore Crabs.
Masters Division
In a fantastic, frantically paced final, Genesis stalled
Jagermeister’s bid for a three peat championship with a
thrilling 12-11 win in the 2010 Masters Tournament at Vail. Masters
division all star Mike Roth scored the winner on fast break feed
from Ryan Ferrin with a mere four ticks left on the game clock.
Genesis’ Alex Smith, tournament MVP, was the star of the day
making 18 saves. His excellent play was marked with several big
stops to keep Genesis in the game; he finished the day blocking 62%
of Jagermeister’s shots.
The deal seemed sealed when Roth scored to put Genesis up by 2 with
only three minutes left to go, but Jagermeister quickly answered
with 2 goals in the next 30 seconds to tie the game with 2:30
left.
Mike Napolilli of Genesis paced the game with 6 points on 4 goals
and 2 assists. Roth finished the game with 4 goals while Ferrin
ended with 4 points having 2 goals and 2 assists. Tournament All
Stars Greg Peters and Marc DiGiovanni from Jagermeisters led their
side with 5 points each, Peters on 4 goals and 1 assist, DiGiovanni
on 2 goals and 3 assists.

Grandmasters Division
The Quicksilver Eldest Statesmen dominated all aspects of
the game in the Grandmasters Championship, beating Los Viejos de
Adidas 11-2. The Statesmen were just too good at every
position and the championship game came and went with a
whimper. It was a repeat championship for Quicksilver Eldest
Statesmen, who also won in 2009.

Dr. Tom Watts Memorial
Boys U-19
The second day of the Dr. Tom Watts Memorial Tournament saw
all of the top seeds advanced to the semifinals of their respective
brackets.
The most competitive game of the day saw Team Ohio defeat True
Lacrosse of Chicago, 14 - 13. True lacrosse trailed early but
was able to keep the game tight in the second half and hit the post
with less than 20 seconds left but was unable to tie the
game. Ohio was hindered by limited roster depth and will need
a strong showing and a good night’s rest to overcome their
numbers.
Colorado was victorious over Lawrenceville in the second quarter
final. The game was well contested for the first half
although Colorado had a decided advantage of position time but
struggled with getting their shots on goal. Colorado put the
game away in the second half as Lawrenceville could only muster one
goal in the final two periods.
In the most lopsided result of the second round, FCA routed NorCal
by a score of 20 - 6. The outcome of this game was never in
doubt. NorCal made a brief run in the second period but FCA
answered with 9 goals in the second quarter. FCA had 9
goals scorers in the game and will be a tough match-up for Colorado
going into tomorrow’s semi-final matchup.
Perennial tournament favorites, the Baltimore Crabs, looked well on
their way to a sixth straight Tournament finals birth overwhelming
Brady’s Bunch 16-7. The Crabs are seeking a fifth
straight championship and will be facing Team Ohio that expended a
lot of energy in their quarterfinal game.
Division I semifinals will be on Avon 1 at 11:00 and 1:00
Tuesday.

coming roaring back in the 2nd half only to lose by 3 at
the end. Hero’s and Colorado Red showed excellent team skills
