This
weekend Minnesota Elite Girls sent 3 high school teams to
compete in the IWLCA Western Cup lacrosse tournament in Denver, CO. Our
'14, '15, '16 teams competed in this first-ever Western Cup
tournament, IWLCA's first tournament west of the Mississippi! Our teams have come a long way in 3 years - and our strength as a lacrosse program, with talented players and strong coaches, was evident in the way we played
