OKTOBERFEST BEKOMMT MAN BETRUNKEN! This year was the 1st Annual Laxtoberfest Lacrosse Tournament hosted by the Tahoe Dawgs and the Tahoe Truckee Lacrosse Association (TTLA). The inagural tournament welcomed the Palo Alto Ducks and a team from Chico, both of whom the Dawgs played before volunteering for the Squaw Valley Oktoberfest in the Olympic Village. The first game against Chico Republic went well for the Dawgs who were beat by Chico earlier in the year at Fresno. The teams both played well, but a second half deluge of goals fueled by attackmen Cody Hart and Adam Gift put the Dawgs in the driver’s seat for an 8-5 victory. The second game of the morning put the Dawgs up against a familiar opponent, the Palo Alto Ducks. The Dawgs had lost to Palo Alto earlier in the year by two goals at the Sacramento Tournament and were looking to equalize their record. The game opened up strong for the Dawgs with two unanswered goals on crisp passing and shooting, but Tahoe soon fell behind and went into halftime down a goal 4-5. The second half was played in a similar back and forth fashion with Palo Alto establishing a narrow lead near the end of the 2nd half. The Dawgs could not recover, though they almost did, and dropped another loss to the Ducks 5-7. Curt Wegener had a strong performance in goal and FOGO Eric Peacock dominated faceoffs in both games, a part of the game that the Dawgs have recently struggled with. Thanks to all involved!

The Dawgs opened up the 19th Annual Lake Tahoe Lacrosse Tournament against a very strong and fast West Sunset team. West Sunset roared out of the gates with a series of quick goals and never looked back. The Dawgs tallied 3 goals in the losing effort, but gained some solace later in the tournament when West Sunset made the Finals.

The Dawgs started the day with a fast-paced game against the Rocky Mountain Oysters. The Oysters scored first, but the Dawgs answered the call in the first half and went into halftime tied 3-3. The Dawgs played hard though their efforts were only rewarded with 2 goals in the second half. The team struggled with faceoffs and did not possess the ball as much as they would have liked. The Dawgs fell to the Oysters by a count of 5-10.
In their second game of the day, the Dawgs faced off against the Streets of London team (this year with the creatively recycled name the Sacramento Tropics). The Dawgs scored early and often and took their second consecutive win against the Sacramento team in the last month. Curt Wegener played strong in goal in the first half and John Brusoe followed up with a solid second half performance. The hits were hard and the big difference in this game compared to earlier games was the Dawgs hustle for ground balls and physical play.

The Maroon and White rounded out the 2009 Tahoe Tourney with a consolation game against NW Nirvana. The Dawgs came out hot scoring three unanswered goals before NWN tagged their first of the game. The Dawgs played hard and possessed the ball taking a 5-4 lead into halftime. Both teams played a great second half that left the score knotted at 9-9 at the end of regulation. A short overtime period was played where the Dawgs squandered three open looks at the cage to be defeated by a bad endline call and a top-shelf laser from NWN in transition to end the game 10-9 OT.

Representing in Park City! The Dawgs sent some team representatives on a trip East across I-80 to Park City, UT to participate in the 2009 Ski-Town Shootout. The Dawgs players ran with friend of the team and sponsor Tribal West Lacrosse and produced for TW by accounting for half of the teams scoring and some fine netminding on the first two days of play. Besides the inclement weather the men's club portion of the tournament was well hosted and we'd like to thank Fish and all the other individuals and players involved.
