2003 PREVIEW
by Jeff Secor
The 2003 Vail Shootout has some outstanding teams. Last year's winner, Behind the Back, is ready to defend their title while the perennial contenders and multi-year champions, AXIA (formerly womenslacrosse.com), will be trying to regain the title. Although there are only fourteen teams this year, the competition should be exciting. Ripple of old is back after a short hiatus. They will be challenging the front runners such as returning teams Special Brew, Team Harrow, and Team Ohio. Two teams from the Eastern seaboard are making their debut, Lake Placid winner Team Simeons and from New York, Gotham Women's Lacrosse. The state of Colorado is well represented with Last Call and Colorado and they are being joined by the kids (recent high school grads) team of Random. Team Texas is making a return with a few Texans and several experienced players from around the nation. Rounding out the tournament is Pittsburgh based, QC Lax/Weakest Link and the San Diego team of Adrenaline. Good luck to all teams. Read the descriptions below and see what the team reps have to say about their chances and goals.
