'Bellies Making A Huge Impact In College Field Lacrosse

This season the Salmonbellies have a particularly large number of intelligent players who are having a great impact on their various college/university field lacrosse teams.

Former 'Bellies player Jordan McBride and current 'Bellies player Kevin Crowley have enjoyed great seasons at NCAA Division I Stonybrook. McBride (43 goals 10 assists) and Crowley (22 goals 26 assists) finished first and second in team scoring and were both named to the America East 1st All-Star team. McBride was also named conference Rookie of the Year.

Leif Paulson at Division I Cornell and Brett Mydske at Division II Limestone are the other Salmonbellies playing at American schools. Both of their teams have enjoyed very successful seasons and are currently in national play downs.

Locally, Bellies players Curtis Manning, James Poelzer, Ben Davies, Chris Tessarolo, Adam Foss and Ben Johnson have played key roles in the great success Simon Fraser University (SFU) has enjoyed this season. Manning was named to the PNCLL MVP and 1st Team All Star. Johnson made 2nd Team All-Star and Tessarolo was an Honourable Mention.

The Clan defeated the University of Oregon Ducks in the conference finals and are now off to Dallas, TX for the MCLA National Championship.
