Weather was the name of the game Friday at the Vail Lacrosse Shootout. Delays impacted almost every division with several games not finishing till well after 5:00pm. However, the rain was a welcome respite from the dry, hot weather Colorado has been engulfed in and provided some much needed moisture to the Vail mountains.
