Nice web site! Thanks for the mention, my kids are impressed! A little note: the team was formed, in 1975, by John Hale, Fritz Loechner, Bob Chapman, Don Lougee, Howie Finkle, Johnny May, Mike Gondolie and myself, R.Lindsey.

We did this because we were asked to sever ourselves from Golden Gate Lacrosse Club. I think it was because we, then their "B" team, kicked their ass in a game and we partied in a much more hardy style than they could ever deal with, "lost lacrosse balls". Matt and Pete can probably explain.

2005 California State Club Lacrosse Champions

Marin Lacrosse Club defeated Adrenaline Lacrosse Club, the Southern California champions, by a score of 10-2 on June 25 in Corte Madera. Eight Marin players scored goals, most of them assisted. Marin's defense was as dominant as the score would indicate, and the goalies – Matt Vallone in the first half and Pat Brown in the second – played even better. It was as close to a perfect game as many of us have been involved in.

There's a gallery of game photos here.
