The last day of 41st Vail Lacrosse Shootout saw the Men’s and Women’s Elite Champions crowned on Ford Field.
In the day’s first championship heavily favored Team STX got out to a quick lead and never looked back and won their first Vail Lacrosse Shootout Women’s Elite Championship.
The Men’s Championship will go down as one of the all-time best finals in tournament history. After trailing by a wide margin, Colorado-based All Out, clawed their way back and won its first Vail Lacrosse Shootout Championship in double overtime

Finals
1:00pm - Ford Field - All Out 16, Lacrossewear 15 (2 OT)
Lacrossewear got out of the gates hot and was leading 7-2 midway through the second quarter. All Out was able to stop the bleeding as they narrowed the gap to 8-5 by halftime. The teams traded goals in the third quarter, but with four seconds left before the end of the period, All Out converted on a fast break to further narrow the lead to 11-9.
All Out would use the momentum of the late goal and came out firing in the fourth tying the game when Tournament MVP Nick Ossello (Notre Dame ’15) won a faceoff and scored a two point goal on the ensuing fast break. All Out took their first lead with under three minutes left in the fourth quarter and tried to kill the clock for the remaining few minutes. After an exciting defensive series to get the ball back, Lacrossewear’s Kieran McArdel (St. John’s ’14) tied the game with 44 seconds left in regulation.
In the first overtime (non-sudden-death), All Out looked like it would be the victor after Billy Ward (Syracuse ’14) scored first, but Lacrossewear’s Reilly O’Connor (Georgetown ’15) put home a game- tying goal with less than two seconds left to stay alive. In the second overtime (sudden-death), All Out’s Billy Ward scored the game winning goal just twenty seconds in after Nick Ossello won the faceoff.

Championship Game - Ford Field
10:00am - STX 13, Harrow Honeybadgers 3
Sparks flew in this championship game as soon as the first ball went into the air. Honeybadgers were not intimidated and combated the fast pace of Team STX. Although the score at half was 7-1 in favor of Team STX, Maggie Tamasitis, Tournament MVP from STX, had assisted four first half goals for her team. Molly Pais of Honeybadgers scored the first goal of the second half but Kitty Cullen responded with 2 goals of her own; one being a behind the back shot. Honeybadgers aggressiveness never dwindled as the game played came to an end.
