DIVISION CHAMPS!!

Yesterday was quite possibly one of the best days of my life. Had to go to Toledo for playoffs...
Here's how it went down.

Game 1: No. 16 MSU vs Miami of Ohio. Should have been an easy game, but Miami is way underrated. They played a great game, but MSU wins 10 to 5. Had a couple of sweet assists.

Game 2: No. 16 MSU vs Defending Division A Champs in 2006, No. 8 Pittsburgh. We worked our butts off, out-hustling them to every ball. They thought this game would be a cakewalk, but the underdog MSU wins 10 to 6. We played excellent defense. Winning this game knocks Pitt out of the running for Nationals.

Game 3: Division A Finals: No. 16 MSU vs No. 5 U of M. Going into this game from that huge win vs Pitt, we were feeling unstoppable. It was a back and forth game, we score, they score. But then we broke away from them halfway thru the second half, increasing the lead to 3 goals. And then the rest of the game is history. MSU wins 9 to 6.
MSU IS DIVISION A CHAMPS!! MSU IS GOING TO NATIONALS IN DENVER!!

Pretty much the most amazing feeling ever to finally win something in lacrosse. After 2 years of being runner up at the state finals, I was getting sick of being second best. Winning this was just amazing. No one can stop us now! Denver, here we come!
