Good Morning Lady Titan LAX Family,

Well, in just a blink of an eye, we are more than halfway through this season, and have 3 more weeks of regular season play, and then the playoffs. I have a lot of information to put out this week, so please read carefully.

Here’s what is on the schedule for this week:

Monday 19 APRIL 5pm – 7pm = Practice outdoors on our practice field. Please dress in layers as it will be cooling off as the sun goes down.

Tuesday 20 APRIL 6pm – 8pm – Due to the impending snow that is forecasted for Tuesday morning (yes, you read that correctly), we will be practicing indoors on Tuesday in the Aux Gym. JV from 6-7pm, Varsity from 7-8pm).

Wednesday 21 APRIL – Game #7 at Shawnee Mission (Westridge MS, OPK). We will be playing away at Shawnee Mission. This is the first time we will have played this team this season. Their home field is at Westridge Middle School in Overland Park, KS. JV Game is at 5:30pm (be there by 4:45pm), Varsity game is at 7:00pm (be there by 6:15pm). I have attached directions to the field in this email. The address is 9300 Nieman Rd, OPK 66214. Expect a 30 min drive to the location.

Thursday 22 APRIL 5pm – 7pm = Practice outdoors on our practice field. Please dress in layers as it will be cooling off as the sun goes down.

Friday 23 APRIL = No practice

Next, I just wanted to remind everyone that we have hundreds of action photos uploaded into our team’s Facebook page (thank you Mike Scott). Feel free to go to the page at www.facebook.com/LSWGirlsLAX and look at the photos. There are some amazing pictures out there.

Next, some of you have been asking for the playoff schedule for the week of 10 MAY. The league has posted the schedule. The varsity team is guaranteed to participate in the playoffs, we just need to see what seed we will play as. The JV team must make the top 4 for the entire league to make the playoffs.
If you want to see what the current standings are, go to www.kcgirlslax.com and look up the standings.

Here is the playoff schedule below. Game times have yet to be confirmed, but I would expect 6pm and 8pm game times. All playoff games will be played at Westridge Middle School in OPK. There are 2 fields side by side marked with girls lacrosse lines, so they plan on playing 2 games at once when they need to.

Monday May 10th – Varsity Quarter-Finals

1. seed vs #8 seed (#2 team from the lower division)
2. seed vs #7 seed (#1 team from the lower division)
