Flutie 5K for Autism
This past Sunday, the team participated in the Flutie 5k road race, which raised over $40,000! Doug Flutie, a legend at Boston College and former Heisman trophey winner, is the founder of the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation, which promotes awareness and supports families affected by autism. Doug's son, Dougie Jr. was stricken with CCD (Childhood Disintergrative Disorder) and is only capable of speaking single words.
We braved the rainy weather and completed the race! One of the major highlights was having the pleasure of meeting, hanging out with AND getting Doug Flutie's autograph. He really was so grateful to see the whole BC Lacrosse team out there supporting the cause. I think we might have a new fan this coming season!

THE RACE FOR THE EAGLE CUP
The race has begun for the first "EAGLE CUP" competition. Similar to years past, the coaches have split the team into two separate teams (Maroon and Gold). However, this year we will be awarding points in many different areas (academics, practice, team activites etc). This year has already shaped up to be very competitive.
The first points were awarded this past Friday at Bowen's house, where we held our first team dinner and COLOR WAR! Each team had to come dressed head to toe in their team colors and they did NOT disappoint. A total of 5 points were awarded to the team with the most color and spirit. After much scrutinizing and deliberating - the coaches made the decision to award the points to the MAROON team.

BUT WAIT....there were still 5 more points to be won!
CJ, Caroline and Bowen complied a list of trivia questions. This game was so competitive, that some might say that this was the closest game in the history of trivia games. CJ & Caroline were almost forced to come up with a random question on the spot....HOWEVER, the GOLD team took the final point. CJ & Caroline were thrilled they didn't have to perform under pressure and come up with another question.
THE SCORE WAS NOW GOLD TEAM - 5 MAROON TEAM - 5
BUT WAIT....there was STILL 1 more point to be won!
Each team had to line up oldest to youngest WITHOUT opening their mouths. Although this was challenging and VERY competitive for the teams....it was incredibly entertaining for the coaching staff.
The GOLD team took the final point of the night and now leads the "EAGLE CUP" competition with a score of 6 - 5.
We are so thrilled to have a very special guest for our first team dinner. Judith, our adopted team member, joined us. The girls were so excited to see her and have her partake in the team dinner.
