by Renee Tomcanln assistant news editor

The men's lacrosse team traveled to Haverford College to play in the 2000 Tastykake Classic last weekend.

The event was a chance for the teams participating to show other colleges what is in store for the upcoming season. This was the ninth year for the Classic. Twelve schools participated in the touma- ment.

Cabrini's team fared well at the annual tournament finishing with a record of 3-0-1. The three wins were over Catholic University, Southampton College, and Anne Arundel Community College. The team tied its first game of the tournament against Lycoming College.

The tournament marks the end of "fall ball;' or the preseason of lacrosse. Over the month and a half in which fall ball takes place, teams play in exhibition games and practice about three times a week. This helps the members prepare for the season in January.

The tournament helped players adjust to the new team. Junior Adam Schaff was impressed by Cabrini's crop of first-year players.

"I was really surprised that we did so well;' Schaff said. "It was amazing."

Schaff also mentioned that the touma- ment helped the team "know what to expect" for the coming season.

"[The tournament] helps to promote the team goals for the upcoming season," senior Ryan Greer said.

Greer also said that the event was fun.

"I would definitely go again," he said.

Overall, the Haverford tournament was a success for Cabrini's men's lacrosse team and something they hope to participate in in the fume.
