Quaker Fall LaxFest Takes Place Sunday at Radnor

By Chris Goldberg, PhillyLacrosse.com

The schedule has been released for the inaugural Quaker Fall LaxFest, a tournament featuring the top boys' club teams from Philadelphia and around the Mid-Atlantic region. The 16-team event will be held Sunday at Radnor High on four fields (two turf). Each team will play three 60-minute games in a round-robin format.

The event will give players the opportunity to play against some of the best competition and in front of more than 40 coaches from top Division I and Division III colleges. The field includes Philly club powers Duke's Lacrosse (four-time Champ Camp winner), Mesa Fresh 2010, Team HEADstrong, Twist Lacrosse, Rebel Elite and LB3. Mesa Fresh 2011 also will compete.

Other teams include Canada's Edge Srs. And Jrs., Edge USA, Central New York Roadhawks, Long Island Express, Long Island Sting, MadLax (Washington, DC), Maryland RoughRiders, and Tri-State (NJ). Games, using high school rules, will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end by 4:30 p.m.

The Long Island Express (No. 1), Duke's Lacrosse (No. 3), Tri-State (No. 5), MadLax (No. 6) and Roadhawks (No. 9) were ranked in the Top 10 in the final club rankings this summer. Philadelphia area teams HEADstrong (No. 3), Rebel Elite (No. 5), LB3 (No. 6) and Mesa Fresh 2010 (No. 7) made the quarterfinals at the Dick's Sporting Goods Tournament of Champions last winter.

The tourney co-directors are Radnor coach John Begier and Penn coach Mike Murphy.
