Vail, CO – After much anticipation, the 34th annual Men’s Elite Division of the Vail Lacrosse Shootout finally got underway on Saturday. There were some very competitive games on Day 1, including an upset of the #3 seed by the #14 team. A few of Vail’s perennial favorites moved through as well, including top seeded GMH, #2 Go Fast and the #5 Team Mammoth. The only top seeded team not to go through was #3 Rock-it Pocket, who suffered an 11-10 loss to Team 5280/Tap Room.

Day 2 will be interesting in the winner’s bracket with Team 21 vs. Team Mammoth as the featured match-up. Team Mammoth is loaded with Canadian players getting ready to take part in next month World Games. For the most part, Team Mammoth is Team Canada and includes MLL players who gained an exemption to play in Vail.

The women also got started on Saturday with a huge tournament field taking flight. They will continue with pool play on Sunday before breaking into their quarterfinals on Monday.
