Event Summary
The girls’ lacrosse club season kicked off with New England’s top fall championship tournament, The New England Chill.

What a weekend to kick off REV22, the 22nd year of Revolution Lacrosse, at REVlax’s own event, The New England Chill.  The weather was perfect, the sun was out, foliage was at peak, the DJ tent was bumping, and the dance offs were legit!

Traditionally, The New England Chill is REVlax’s 2nd tournament of the fall, but with the Westside Tournament canceling this year, this was opening weekend!   Nine REVlax teams had winning records with three teams going undefeated and TWO teams winning the Championships!

Congratulations to the REV25 Team for winning the Championship and putting in a whooping 55 goals while only giving up nine goals on the day!

Congratulations also to the REV26 Black team for winning their Championship after battling a very strong Yellow Jackets team!
Though both undefeated, 27Black and 31Heart each missed the playoffs to the other undefeated team in their respective pools seeing they had one more allowed goal! What are the odds!?!
Something fun that the REVlax players loved was that after each game, a REVlaxer  was awarded the Game Pumpkin for outstanding play by the team and coaching staff.  And at the end of each day, the All-Tournament Pumpkin was awarded!

Team Summary
Record: 2-1
The 28Black team’s day started early, and they welcomed back more than a few teammates from various injuries that were sustained both over the summer and at the beginning of the Fall.  The NH Tomahawk Purple team was ready to play and came out firing. Though it took the players a bit to get back up to speed, by the end of the game they were back to true REVlax style of play!

In the next two games, they rallied to the call of fighting for all 50/50 balls, playing full speed in all zones and working as hard as they could for their teammates who were all doing the same.  With that in their hearts, they came out in the second game and dominated Bullets Silver from beginning to end, rarely letting up a draw and controlling the pace of play and leaving no doubt as to who the stronger team was on the field.  Their third game against 315 Elite saw 28Black dominating all aspects of the game from the draws to the back of the net.  Up at halftime by the score of 8-0, the game was about making their teammates look good with wonderful passing, unselfish play and huge amounts of enthusiasm!
