Another beloved annual alumni tradition – the Alumni Lacrosse Game – is in the books as of Friday, Nov. 24. An impressive turnout of players from across the generations made this year’s “Thanksgiving game” a particularly competitive one! The Grey team jumped out to a 8-1 lead by the end of the first quarter. Coach Kevin Hudson then made some roster adjustments at the goalie and FOGO positions, helping to level the field. The Blue team began to claw themselves back into the game. In the end, it came down to the last four seconds of play, with Grey holding on for an 11-10 win over Blue.

 

Grey may have had a slight coaching advantage with former longtime Gilman Head Coach Brooks Matthews '87 at the helm, while Will Godine '18, who is a 5th year lacrosse player at Georgetown University, directed play for the Blue team.

 

Special thanks to Ned Emala '13 for setting up the field; Kristin Brown for being the on-site trainer we, fortunately, didn't need; Dan Muhly for refereeing; and to everyone who came out to play and socialize afterward. We hope to see you again next year!
