Beat the Commodores and the SEC.

Game tonight. Come out. Its going to be decent weather. Vandy has a lot of kids from the same traditional lax powerhouse areas as SMU. Should be a good one.

[Terry Webster]

How did the match go?

Score?

[MustangLaxer]

SMU won the game 8 to 7! Vandy has a great team. They get very similar players as we do. Lots of East Coast kids that want to have the college experience, but love lacrosse too much to give it up completely. SMU really played well together and were playing two freshman at close defense virtually the entire game. Ponies are on track! They should get some love for top 25 votes after this win.

[Junior]

Way to go guys!

Isn't Sam one of Healy's henchmen? I mean.... associates?

[MustangLaxer]

I don't know but he is a lacrosse stud.

Big weekend next weekend for SMU.

Travel to Austin to take on the mighty Longhorns and a very good Texas State squad. Let's ride that Vanderbilt momentum!

Oh yah, Vandy beat Baylor (divisional foe) 20-9

We are due and they can be beat, especially at home. Good luck and I know you will have the defense ready. Check 'em.
