It's a cold and wintry day in March and extra layers of clothing are common as the La Salle lacrosse team prepares for the upcoming season. Under the guidance of head coach William Leahy, the Explorers' ultimate goal and desire is to play, day in and day out, from March first to June first, the day when the team could play again in the state finals. This year, senior captain defenseman Adam Cummins, with his tenacious over-thehead stick checks, intimidated any opposing attackmen. The defense included seniors Kevin Cross and Brendan Crotty, and juniors Michael Graham and Brian Noone, as well as the outstanding duo-goalie combo of senior Joe Horvath and junior Pat Becker. At the opposite side of the field was one of the most talented groups of attackmen La Salle and the PCL have ever seen. Senior captain Kenny Kempf and senior Brian Madeira, having led the Explorers to countless victories over the years, leave behind equally talented junior Conrad Lochocki. In addition, at one of the most demanding positions on the field, senior Andrew Cappelli led the midfield with the help of juniors Tim Koons, Jeff Mills, John "Bird" Lasky, Pat Collins, Bob O'Neill, and Stephen Bielecki. With power and strength on all sides of the field, the 2001 La Salle lacrosse team had the heart and the potential to reach the PCL championship again. With great admiration, I am and always will be very proud to have been a part of this team. -Roger Yeung (a.k.a. Rajaaaah)
