Swarm Beat Stealth

Tonight the Minnesota Swarm beat Paul Rabil and the San Jose Stealth 10-7 in Minneapolis. In the first period, the Swarm jumped out of the gate with three goals. They scored six more in the second period. Dan Marohl scored the lone Minnesota goal in the third. The Stealth put up three and four goals in the second and third periods, respectively. Neither team scored in the fourth.

Tonight's win puts Minnesota in first place in the West at 2-0. What a great way to start a season!

Best Equipment Survey Results


A few months ago, I asked you which lacrosse brand was the best. I know that my original cut off date for this poll was originally the end of January, but it started getting a little long in the tooth. Plus, responses pretty much stopped rolling in around the first week of December. This poll was mostly a curiosity, but can also be used as a tool to help recommend gear to new players. I never really expected anything odd with this poll and I was not shocked to see which brands were the most popular.
A rather shocking result was Reebok's lack of votes. Several laxers on the Lacrosse Forums seem to think the Vector makes fairly legit gear. The fact that Adidas got a vote while its corporate sibling did not surprises me a little.Based on the poll, the best brands for lacrosse gear are STX, Warrior, and Brine. Each received eight votes.
Much lower on the scale was Harrow with two votes. Gait/DeBeer, Maverik, and Adidas each received a single vote. In addition to Reebok not getting any votes, no one picked "Other." So much for Scorpion, VooDoo, and Serpent...
