Squeaker over Barbary
Marin scrapped its way back into the game in the 4th quarter, tied the score to send the game into OT, and won it there. Nice.

Marin Bows Out in O.T. Battle
Marin Lacrosse Club lost a shocker to Barbary Coast LC in overtime in the Norcal Semifinals on June 9.
After going up by a goal with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game, Marin got possession and held onto the ball behind Barbary's net for over a minute. But Barbary finally got the ball on offense and scored to tie the game with 30 seconds left.
Throughout the 4th quarter and in overtime, Marin goalie Pat Brown turned away numerous point-blank shots in one of his all-time great performances, but after Barbary broke a Marin clear, resulting in a naked 1-on-1, even Brownie couldn't save the squad.
And so the season ended.
Ouch
We lost to the O Club on Saturday.
A post-game picture can be worth a thousand words.
It went like this:
That's More Like It
MLC made it to the finals of the PNLA Tournament in Portland against Team Rhino and came up just short. Most importantly, to make it to the finals, Marin beat the Olympic Club in overtime in the semis. Saturday represents a chance to take OC down twice in one week for the second year in a row. Which would be nice.
new mullet action
Just in: hott mullet action from Marin FNG David Harty, challenging Joey Rosenmullet to a Balti-war!
Then again, anyone who's been around a Marin lax event this spring -- and you know who you aren't -- has seen Tim Pingree flying the yellow afromullet long and strong. The picture below does not do it justice, but you can see it peeking out down around his collarbone.

Marin Downs Palo Alto in 2007 Opener
Marin Lacrosse Club vanquished the Palo Alto Ducks in early-season action at the MLK field in Sausalito. The MLC turnout was a little light (5 subs), the field needed a shave, and it was hot out there.
The game started off slow and ugly -- lots of rust and cobwebs -- but the scoring picked up in the second half. Sean Elder played a great game between the pipes. Palo Alto turned up the tempo in the 4th quarter with some tough goals from the crease and got help from a couple of shots that skidded and floated in, but Marin answered with some deft fast break conversions and 6-on-6 goals -- one of them on a cross-cage feed from a rebuilt Luke Gilbert to the ever-crafty Dave Grose, who showed up with 3 minutes left in the game to put the nail in the coffin.
Marin won by 3, 10-7. Next up: Sacramento.
