Dear Parents and Players,
We hope everyone enjoyed a meaningful long weekend, honoring our veterans and their families. It was also an exciting time for lacrosse fans with some great NCAA games on TV!
NCAA Championship Highlights

• Division I: Congratulations to Cornell on their win over Maryland!
• Division II: Adelphi took the title.
• Division III: Tufts came out on top.

May Madness 2025 Champions
William N. (2031 Secretariat – DTX) is our overall + Dallas champion with an incredible 46 points!

West K. (2032 Orange – ATX) wins Austin in a thrilling tie-breaker! He, Phynnley S., and Austin A. all tied with 40 points and identical # of Final Four picks. The final tiebreaker — total goals scored in the championship — decided it. West predicted 24 goals, just one off the actual 23!

Each winner has been contacted and will receive a $100 Team Lax gift card. Congrats again!

Special Congrats to our Iron Horse 2027 guest coaches Ryan Sheehan and Hugh Kelleher for winning the NCAA D1 National Championship with Cornell! These two have coached our 2027 teams during fall and summer tournaments on the East Coast. They sent us a great photo after the big win!

Second Tournament Assignments – Ponies Teams

• 2035, 2034 Carolina, 2034 Orange → Aloha Texas 2 Step
• 2034 Navy → Texas Brawl
• 2036 and 2033 → Also moved to Texas Brawl due to low numbers at Texas Draw in Arlington to Texas Brawl in Fort Worth.

Schedule Updates:
 All changes are reflected on the master calendar and team apps. We're awaiting confirmation from Jesuit on field availability to adjust practices for Aloha participants. For now, we’ll keep two practices on the schedule for next week as a buffer in case of weather, with edits coming soon on GameChanger.

Sub Opportunities:
 We'll also be reaching out to players who may be available to sub in tournaments, based on form responses for the Ponies tournaments.

Thanks for your continued support and communication. Let’s keep the momentum going!
Best Regards,
 Tiffany Surran and Matt Mueller
