Oil Change
Ok, I know I'm no longer in my 20's. I hit the big, dare I put it writing, 3-0, twenty-five days, 4 hours, 10 minutes and 2 seconds ago...not that I'm counting. I don't feel thirty. And from what I'm told, I don't look thirty, yet - thanks to some good genes (mom, dad - I owe ya.) But dear GOD - after practing with my high school players this week, me 'ole bones are feeling it. WOW.
I must say, this really scares me. Over the past year, I played in tournaments where we've had 4 games a day for two days straight, and no subs. And yeah, I was sore and tired, but I never felt it as much as I have since kissing my twenties goodbye.
My assistant coach and I jumped into the 7 v. 7 drills during our high school practices this week to rev up the attack and really challenge our defenders and goalies, in wake of today's rivarly game against St. Francis. Unfortunatley, it left me in need of a serious an oil change - this time I'll splurge and take the premium upgrade please.
It wasn't until last night, when my fiance nearly crushed me with one of his bear hugs, did I realize in what rough shape I was in. I have, (hold up....I'm counting) 9 - yes 9 - HUGE, purple, deep, tissue bruises scattered throughout my body. Arms, back, hips, fingers and some other weird places I didn't know could bruise, let's just leave it at that.
Sadly, I have to remind myself these high school gals are 1/2 my age. They were born in the 1990's. So while I was headbanging to Pearl Jam, donning my 5 X-L flannel button up, green-cuffed jeans and fusia lipstick, they were still in diapers. They don't even know who Dean Cain is - DEAN CAIN - you know SUPERMAN?
I need an asprin and the heating pad - STAT.

Lax of Love!
Local Lacrosse team adopts teammate with cancer. See their story below.
Kristin -- This is for your team...Can you forward?
Thank you for organizing the visit!!
***********
Granite Bay HS Women's La Crosse --
Wow! Thank you all for coming to the hospital on Tuesday! You were a great bunch! Having 20 people in the hospital could be chaotic – but it wasn’t at all! As I said on Annina’s CaringBridge web page, having you visit was like the beginning of our “end of chemo celebration!” LAST CHEMO this Saturday (and out on Tues)!! Whooohooooo!!
Before we even left the hospital, Annina looked at all things you brought – and started munching on the Rice Krispie treats! Your La Crosse ball is pretty cool! I’ve never seen one! We can tell you all have fun together – It was fun just to look at your photo! As soon as we got home on Tuesday, Annina put on her new GB shirt (fit perfectly), and ate the goodies that weren’t chocolate! (She WILL eat the chocolate treats after chemo next week!) Yes, she will be attending GB High even though we are just outside the boundaries!
I know it isn’t easy going to visit someone very sick (actually, Annina is not soooo sick any more since we are just about done with chemo)! We feel the same sadness when we are with other families in our situation – or read their CaringBridge pages. But, we all have our crosses to bear in this lifetime. You just keep moving forward, taking one day at a time, and learning what you can. Several times in my journal entries on CaringBridge I relay that Annina does not regret getting cancer – She would still say that now – despite what she has been through. It has opened up her eyes to many things – including what many kids regrettably experience. I’ve read about many others who share these sentiments – so it’s not totally unusual. Sounds strange, huh!
Here are a few links for you:
www.caringbridge.org/visit/anninahanlon - You probably already have this one. This is where I keep a journal of what is happening with Annina. It’s the only way I can keep everyone up to date! You can also post a message in the Guestbook. (Page, thanks for signing the Guestbook – I didn’t have your email to respond!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBjCM_YqZXw – This is Annina speaking for her orchestra’s fundraiser for the Sarcoma Foundation of America – She talks about her experience, and explains more about osteosarcoma and research (or lack thereof) for rare and pediatric cancers.
www.kidsarestars.com – Annina’s artwork is on greeting cards – Just search for the fundraiser for the Sarcoma Foundation of America. Other kids can add their artwork too. I am trying to get her peace sign design on t-shirts. Haven’t had time to finish that project yet!
www.walknrock.org – Walk 'n Rock for Kids -- This is the 5K walk I mentioned as you were leaving – May 30th. Should be a lot of fun -- music along the route, entertainment, activities, food, etc.! (Separate concert that night.) There are several Sacramento charities benefiting from this huge fundraiser. We will be walking for Okizu, which is a camp offered free of charge to kids with cancer and their siblings (and weekend family camps). www.okizu.org If you would like to join our team to raise money for Okizu, register online -- our team name is “Footprints for Okizu.” Or form your own team and raise money for one of the designated non-profits! (I think I have some forms, if you prefer to register that way!) Annina will have quite a bit of rehab to do before May 30th!! Shooting to be able to walk one mile by the end of March! Yikes!
www.curesarcoma.org – Good information about Sarcomas -- Sarcomas (cancers of the connective tissues) are often misdiagnosed – and sometimes thought to be just sports injuries.
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_1_6X_Managing_Side_Effects.asp --- Describes what we were talking about -- how chemo kills fast growing cells -- both cancerous AND normal -- which is why your hair falls out and you can get mouth sores, among other things!
Thanks again for coming to visit! See you soon!

CIF and Club Post-Season Playday
Hey fellow lax fanatics,
I am the Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at Granite Bay HS.
Since there is interest on both ends for a post-season playday, here is the proposed idea, as signed off on by the CIF.
May 8th - CIF "Invitational Playday Playoff"
May 9th - Club "Invitational Playday Playoff"
CIF teams have the chance to participate in both days IF, they register as a "club team," having no CIF- High School team affiliation for the May 9th playday. That means private insurance in addition to US LACROSSE memberships too!
How do these dates fair with your players? We'd like to get on the books to reseve the Granite Bay fields.
Please respond with your team status and date/s interested in participating.
Cost will depend on the number of interested teams, but will likely run between $200 - $350 per team. Please forward along to other teams who may be interested.
(Each team will be guaranteed 2 - 3 games @ 25mins each. Depending on those records, the top teams will advance into round-robin, single elimination play. There will be trophies handed out to the top 2 teams both days.)
Thanks and see you on the field!

Banged up and blacked out...but worth it!
This weekend's Santa Barbara Shootout was a huge success. Teams from all over the country, rostering players from all over the world, laced up their cleats to hit the grass, or in some cases, the dirt; Lisa Vogeley, Lauren Uhr and I should know.
Team Baylax, a medley of players from the Sac and Bay areas, sent a top-notch team to the sunny, coastal tournament, proving age doesn't discriminate when it comes to lacrosse. Baylax left the 2-day tourney with a perfect 4 for 4 record, some incriminating dance photos and a few bumps and bruises - to put it mildly.
Attacker Jenny Trang, suffered one of the weirdest injuries I've ever seen...a pulled muscle on the top of her foot. Uhhh yeah. Sounds odd - you should have seen it! Perhaps paparazzi, slash laxer, Cynthia Nguyen snapped a photo????
But I wish the video cam was rolling when Lisa "ate dirt", for oh the 12th time, particularly, the spill in which her feet went up over her head. The 6'4" "Lawong" Islander brushed herself off, raddling off revenge to the intruder, who failed to take credit for the monster take-down. But her bark is bigger than her bite. Maybe it's the diamond-studded tooth or 10-lb bouffant that sits atop her head that gives her away.
Tomo, the Japanese rockstar who refuses to devulge her age, is just the opposite. About 80 lbs wet, Tomo-the-Brut can barrel through any defender and take 'em down in the process. After notching her 5th or 6th goal of the game, she retires to her "Hello Kitty" ground mat for a dry seat and some agua refreshment. I must say, her "Engwish' is improving!
Speaking of refreshing, Lauren Uhr is one of those players you thank GOD for putting on YOUR team. Ripping it off the draw or blasting it past the Keeper's stick, the St. Mary's Head Coach dominated the midfield and basically anyone who crossed it. It was funny to hear her former players, now members of Baylax, still call her "Coach." Pj, Hil and Lisa - no such thing as the 24-hour rule anymore - thankfully. Any advice for Baylax young'n Kalya Berrios as she makes her way to St. Mary's lacrosse next year?
Middle-aged players, and by middle-aged I mean 20-somethings, Dearborn, Pj, Noemi and Hilary; They not only rocked it on the field and in the cage, but ow-ow, you should see them slam the Sake Bombs and hit the pop-n-locks on the dance floor.
Seasoned laxer and fellow Marylander Kim Allen rounded out the stellar defense. I doubt the college teams we played, knew they were getting stuffed by someone over the age of 30. Sorry for calling you out Kim - but it's ok because you like you're 22.
I'm about to kiss my 20's goodbye in 2 weeks, but my 'ole body gave out Saturday after someone sent me flying into the cement - aka lacrosse field. This has to be the worst fall of my 11-year lacrosse career. Concussion - check, whiplash - check, busted knee - check, roadrash and brusing - check, check. It was a fun 5 hours in the E-R Monday morning. Thanks honey.
Can't wait for the next one! Who's in?

HS Preseason Outlook
(PER westsidelax.com)
CIF-SAC-JOAQUIN SECTION GIRLS
The Team to Beat: Oak Ridge
After splitting the Sacramento Valley Lacrosse Conference title with St. Francis last season, the Trojans are stacked and ready to win one for themselves. Oak Ridge graduated six seniors, including its top scorer and standout goalie. But it still has a lot coming back.
The Trojans return two 60-goal scorers, three first-team All-Conference players and two team captains. Junior attack-middie Danielle Trapani and senior attack-middie Kristina Reyes will give Oak Ridge quite a one-two punch on offense.
Trapani scored 63 goals during her sophomore season, and Reyes, a returning captain, scored 62 last year. Both were first-team, All-Conference selections, as was returning captain and senior defender Carmen Gaddini. Also on the defensive end, Oak Ridge welcomes back senior defender-middie Leanne Aroyan, the younger sister of graduated Oak Ridge star Cassie Aroyan.
Contenders: St. Francis
The Troubadours return one superstar, and she will be pressed to rally the troops in a big way. George Washington-bound senior middie Samantha Bauer will be the unquestioned leader of a program in transition. St. Francis graduated nine seniors, including four first-team All-Conference players, and the program also lost head coach Kristy Wilson, who stepped down in December.
Offensively, aside from Bauer, St. Francis will need senior attackers Rachel Reed and Elizabeth Brown to step up their game. Reed and Brown combined to score 30 goals and dish 26 assists last season. Defensively, senior middie Gabrielle Desgeorges picked up 32 ground balls last season, which tied Bauer for third on the club.
Sleeper: Bella Vista
The Broncos look like they could take a step forward this season after graduating just five seniors from their 2009 team. Bella Vista returns seven starters, including two first-team All-Conference players in junior attack Missy Fackler and senior middie Shannon Keene. The Broncos will also look for big contributions from senior defender-middie Aleah Lawson, senior attack-middie Imani Russell, sophomore middie Cheyenne Frost and junior defender Natasha Taylor.
NCAA Division I Recruits: Samantha Bauer, MF, St. Francis (George Washington).
Bauer is a strong two-way player who is a threat to score and set up goals on offense and can do the job on defense. Last season, she finished with 38 points on 26 goals and 12 assists, making her the second-leading point producer on the team. Defensively, she picked up 32 ground balls, tied for third highest on the squad.
Other Top Players: Leanne Aroyan, Def.-MF, Oak Ridge; Elizabeth Brown, Att., St. Francis; Gabrielle Desgeorges, MF, St. Francis; Missy Fackler, Att., Bella Visa; Cheyenne Frost, MF, Bella Vista; Carmen Gaddini, Def., Oak Ridge; Becca Gandler, Att.-Def., Granite Bay; Shannon Keene, MF, Bella Vista; Aleah Lawson, Def.-MF, Bella Vista; Rachel Reed, Att., St. Francis, Imani Russell, Att.-MF Bella Vista; Kristina Reyes, Att.-MF, Oak Ridge; Natasha Taylor, Def., Bella Vista; Shelby Tooley, Att.-MF, Granite Bay; Danielle Trapani, Att.-MF, Oak Ridge.
Preseason Top 5: 1. Oak Ridge, 2. St. Francis, 3. Bella Vista, 4. Granite Bay, 5. Christian Brothers.
Notes: Granite Bay won just one game and finished last in the league last season, but it should be better this year after graduating just four seniors. A lot will depend on who comes back for the Grizzlies, but two of the team’s top scorers last year were underclassmen. Junior attack-middie Shelby Tooley scored a team-high 26 goals, and senior attack-defender Becca Gandler had 17 goals, good for third on the club.

MPSF Women's Lax Pre-Season Poll
For Immediate Release: January 15, 2010 Contact: Darren Preston
STANFORD TOPS 2010 MPSF WOMEN’S LACROSSE COACHES’ POLL
(info copied from http://www.mpsports.org/sports/w-lacros/spec-rel/011610aaa.html)
Stanford collected 36 points along with six first-place votes in being projected to win its sixth straight MPSF Championship. The
Cardinal returns 236 of its 264 goals scored from last year (89 percent). The team’s top seven goal scorers return, including 30-
goal scorers Sarah Flynn (36), Lauren Schmidt (35), Dana Lindsay (32) and Karen Nesbitt (30). Schmidt, now a redshirt junior,
was the 2009 MPSF Player of the Year and team scoring leader (57 points). Defensively, junior goalkeeper Annie Read returns
after playing every minute last season and owning an 8.83 goals-against average. The two through four spots in the poll were
separated by a total of two points, involving the same teams in last year’s three-way tie for second place. Taking second was
Oregon with 27 points. The Ducks return a strong midfield in Jana and Jess Drummond, and 2008 MPSF Newcomer of the Year
Alex Breiner. California checked in at third with 26 points and one first-place vote. The Bears return All-MPSF selections Alex
Tickner (35 goals in ’09) and defender DennaFaye Herald from last year’s team that reached the conference finals. Denver
totaled 25 points, good for fourth. Three-time All-MPSF honoree Ali Flury returns, leading the conference last year in points per
game (3.77) and goals per game (3.23), while ’09 MPSF Newcomer of the Year in goalkeeper Ashley Harmon is also back.
Rounding out this year’s preseason poll was UC Davis (16), St. Mary’s (11), and Fresno State (6). The Aggies shocked Denver
in last year’s MPSF Tournament quarterfinals, and return last year’s top three scorers, including Britt Farquharson (46 goals/39
draw controls). The Gaels are highlighted by seniors Abbie Coleman (1.12 APG, # 8 in MPSF) and Amy Daniels (28 G/32 P),
while the Bulldogs will be competing in their second season of competition, led by Heather Jack’s 11 goals from a year ago. A
conference game between Denver and St. Mary’s will open the 2010 season, on January 29 in Moraga, CA…..

Coach says...
Dear Kristin;
I love your Blog Site and welcome to the West Coast. As the head coach for the Chico State Women's Lacrosse Program I love the fact that you are trying to grow the sport. This year I have a roster of 16 players with 3 having never played the sport. What I would not give to have experienced players and enough to field two teams.
As for our recruiting, Chico is located 100 miles north of Sacramento in the middle of nowhere. I am unable to watch High School players during our Season unless it is during our Spring Break. I normally do all of our recruiting during the Summer and over our Winter Break (Holidays). I am normally found at all the Adrenaline Recruiting Camps and have had fair success in getting a few girls to come to Chico. I am not that big on recruiting video since it showcases only your strengths. I would rather have a player go to our website at www.csuchico.edu/wlax and fill out the "Recruit" info so that I can make arrangements to watch them play, talk to their families, and contact their High School coaches.
Anyway, thanks for the information about your website and you are welcome to make my contact information available. It is listed below. Good Luck with your upcoming Season...George!

Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Lacrosse, known as LAX to those who play the game, is the nation's oldest sport. Invented by the Indians, as a way to settle inter-tribal disputes, the Natives were playing some form of lacrosse as early as the 1600's. Rumor has it, lax was invented by the Indians, adopted by the Canadians and named by the French.
History suggests, the natives played on a field stretching over several miles with teams numbering in the hundreds, sometimes thousands. Players often used two sticks and a leather ball. Today, women's lacrosse players are contained within the 120 yard football field, carry one stick each and battle for a rubber ball weighing close to 5 lbs.
The object of the game is simple. Score as often as possible in the opposing team's goal using a lacrosse stick. Usually an aluminum or carbon-fiber rod with a netted head secured ontop.
Lacrosse is a combination of soccer, hockey, football and basketball. The field setup is similar to that of soccer, the idea of using sticks and some "ball/puck" object resembles hockey, the body contact of football and the footwork/agility skills required of basketball, round out the sport. What's great about lacrosse is that it doesn't discriminate. You don't have to be tall, short, muscular, skinny, etc. As long as you are athletic, there is a place for you on the field.
Lacrosse is the fastest growing team sport in the nation and has been dubbed,"the fastest game on two feet."
Now let's get you off the bench and onto the field.

You throw like a girl!
Hey fellow Cali Laxers!!!
I, Kristin Marshall, am a converted soccer player, now OBSESSED with lacrosse, aka LAX. After much pressure from my High School lacrosse coach and my VERY supportive parents (looking to get as much financial aid for college as possible), I ditched my distaste for the sport and joined the Mount Hebron HS lax team (Ellicott City, M.D.) back in 1996. I was a sophomore.
In case you've been living under a rock (or on the West Coast), Mt. Hebron girls lacrosse is a dynasty program on the East Coast. There were gals on the team, who never made it off the bench, receiving scholarships to top lax schools around the country.
Thankfully, I've been blessed with the "athletic gene" and picked up the sport rather quickly. As a team, Mt. Hebron lacrosse went undefeated in the nation for several years, breaking all kinds of records; on a personal note, my new passion helped me earn a scholarship to a top Division I college, Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y.
Hofstra's lax program is consistently ranked nationally in the top 20. Located on Long Island, N.Y. (20 mins from Long Beach and a 45 min train ride to NYC) Hofstra, coupled with a booming journalism program and outstanding athletic facilities, was my new home! Four years later, I left Hofstra as the Coca Cola MVP, nationally ranked attacker in points, goals and assists and I still hold top records with the school's program.
Since then, life has taken me on a cross-country jaunt to the West Coast, where I work as the Traffic Reporter for KCRA-TV, Head Lacrosse Coach for Granite Bay High School and continue to play lacrosse in every tournament possible. That's where this blog comes into play.
After living in the SacValley for the past two years, it's come to my attention, women's lacrosse in NorCal needs some MAJOR attention.
This blog is designed to help educate, develop and grow women's lacrosse on the West Coast. I'll keep you in the know with regards to all things CIF, youth, club, college and post-collegiate play.
Need help getting ready for high school tryouts or college recruiting? Help is here.
Looking to join a team, find a tournament, questions regarding gear or rules/regulations - I've got it all.
In addition, I'll be posting instructional videos for both players and coaches.
See you on the field!

I, Kristin Marshall, am a converted soccer player, now OBSESSED with lacrosse, aka LAX. After much pressure from my High School lacrosse coach and my VERY supportive parents (looking to get as much financial aid for college as possible), I ditched my distaste for the sport and joined the Mount Hebron HS lax team (Ellicott City, M.D.) back in 1996. I was a sophomore.
In case you've been living under a rock (or on the West Coast), Mt. Hebron girls lacrosse is a dynasty program on the East Coast. There were gals on the team, who never made it off the bench, receiving scholarships to top lax schools around the country.
Thankfully, I've been blessed with the "athletic gene" and picked up the sport rather quickly. As a team, Mt. Hebron lacrosse went undefeated in the nation for several years, breaking all kinds of records; on a personal note, my new passion helped me earn a scholarship to a top Division I college, Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y.
Hofstra's lax program is consistently ranked nationally in the top 20. Located on Long Island, N.Y. (20 mins from Long Beach and a 45 min train ride to NYC) Hofstra, coupled with a booming journalism program and outstanding athletic facilities, was my new home! Four years later, I left Hofstra as the Coca Cola MVP, nationally ranked attacker in points, goals and assists and I still hold top records with the school's program.
