This past spring and winter saw the Metacomets further their credibility on the national circuit with a strong showing
in the Sudbury tournament (undeafeated) , Xtreme lax tournament (finalist) the IAS tournament among others. The varsity
tournament select team assembled by Coach Matt Nunes and Coach Peter Schmitz, both veterans of select tounaments, looked to
bring the best of the best from our little state, to area tournaments. Players selected during the spring tryouts made
up the group of players who participated.
With these strong perfomances in mind, Coach Nunes and Schmitz have decided it's time to step up the girls' program and
get the national recognition we think our girls should receive.
We will be entering the teams in the some of the best tournaments in the country like our own "Spring Into
Summer" Tournament, The National Draw, the Extreme Lax Tournament, Groton, Mass, The All Star Express tournament and
wrapping up with the prestigious LI Elite tournament on July 30 on Long Island. We are exploring the
possibility of playing the Summit Lacrosse Tournament in Lake Placid to close out the summer schedule playing with some of
the best players in the country. This would be in addition to the other tournaments identified above.
"We expect big things from our young ladies "says Matt Nunes. " With each tournament our kids get a better understanding
of what it takes to be successful. These young ladies are committed and are focused on making a name for RI Lacrosse
and taking the sport with them to the next level. We look to give them that opportunity.".
