HAVING BIG IMPACT ON TEAMS AND IN THE POSTSEASON

2022 was a great year on the college front for Team NorCal alumni.   This year, we have over 60 young men playing in college at D1, D2, D3, and MCLA Lacrosse programs at over 40 different colleges. 17 of them have qualified for post-season play in each of these levels! 

There are many great stories.  But just a few of the highlights:

Trevor Douglis, University of Utah - Trevor, as a freshman, was the leading point scorer this season with 14 goals and 19 assists for the University of Utah MCLA team.  Utah (9-3) last weekend won the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference, and won a place in the 16 team MCLA National Championship Tournament in Texas in 2 weeks.  Utah is the first school to have won a place in their MCLA National tournament at a school which also had an NCAA-sponsored team.  Trevor went to Carlmont High School.  UPDATE:  University of Utah went all the way and won the MCLA D2 National Championship.  Trevor had 8 goals for the Utes in the tournament.  

Chris Wilk, Northeastern - Chris, a graduate of Bellarmine Prep in San Jose, has made a huge impact on Northeastern's 13-2 MCLA team in the Continental Lacrosse Conference in New England . He is their second leading scorer with 34 goals, and was named to Warrior's MCLA Division 1 Honor Roll last week for his two hat trick performances against North Carolina State and Temple.

The West Coast Lacrosse League (WCLL) All Star teams were named, and Team NorCal alumni were 4 of the players named.

Cole Ramsey, Dominican University -  Cole was named first team WCLL defenseman and also was honored as the Defensive Player of the Year.  Cole is a senior and went to Daugherty Valley High School. 

Matt Lochman of TCU, led the entire team with 35 goals as a freshman, and helped his team win the Division and a spot in the MCLA National Championships series in May 2022.  He was subsequently named the Most Valuable Player in the LoneStar Alliance League of the MCLA, covering the South Central part of the country.  

The MCLA National Lacrosse Championships start this weekend. Congratulations to the 9 Team NorCal alumni who will be playing in them for the following teams:
