Three Fall Tournament Championships for MASS ELITE !!
November 24th, 2004
Fall BU 3v3 came down to the dominating Albany Elite vs the
skillful Mass Elite RED. With a two goal deficit, Mass Elite powered
back in the final minutes to tie the aggressive and determined Albany team. For
the second year in a row, the Champions were crowned after a 1v1 brave heart victory
by Mass Elite. Five straight BU 3v3 Championships creates domination, 2006 class
get ready to carry on the tradition!
Mass Elite defeats perennial nemesis CTLF 1 at Harvard University. The
one goal loss to CTLF earlier in the day, must have created some adrenaline for
Mass Elite, because they controlled the game and took the lead early in the final
contest. The confident CT team answered with a run of goals and a great fight,
but Mass Elite claimed the title!
Mass Elite captures 4v4 UPENN Tournament in Philadelphia with over 60
teams competing from MD, VA, NJ, NY, and CT! Only the 16 top teams were seeded
for the finals and both Mass Elite Teams made it to the final 8! The final four
teams were M&D, NBC, Future Elite, and Mass Elite. Three Maryland Clubs with
impressive rosters and Mass Elite! Future Elite took out M&D, and Mass Elite
defeated NBC by one goal. The final game was very exciting and drew crowds from
all of the teams, it ended in a tie. Mass Elite was victorious in a sudden death
overtime that consisted of spectacular saves, unbelievable interceptions, and
the exclamation point goal to win the tournament!!

Paula, Leslie and the Mass Elite Coaching Staff
March 26, 2004
It is without hesitation and with much excitement and pleasure,
that I announce a NEW PARTNERSHIP, an AFFILIATION, and a NEW
MERGER on behalf of Mass Elite!
THE PARTNERSHIP: Paula Evans, founder - and Leslie Frank,
of Westwood; will now be the Co-Owners of the Mass Elite Lacrosse and AchieveLax
Organizations. Leslie and I are very excited and stimulated to get things
off and running! We have known each other since Leslie and I started our youth
lacrosse programs in 1997, and from then on have mutually felt and believed that
the lacrosse players in Massachusetts deserve the best of the best, and that is
what we will continue to stay focused on throughout our adventure! It was without
doubt that we choose to join as one force not only for the Mass Elite players
but for all players in both the Mass Elite and AchieveLax Programs.
With the growth of the lacrosse rapidly expanding each year this will now enable
us to continue to offer the best programs, coaches and opportunities to ALL players.
AFFILIATION: Mass Elite will be recognized as the Club
Affiliation to the AchieveLax Organization, now owned and managed by partners,
Paula Evans and Leslie Frank. Leslie and I are very excited about this opportunity
and to be able to continue to offer a variety of lacrosse programs throughout
the year. AchieveLax will offer various programs to girls, boys and adults
at The Canton Sportsplex located in Canton, MA. We will be announcing these programs
this spring at www.achievelax.com
as well as the Mass Elite Web site. We look forward to getting things up and running
smoothly! As of March 2004, Paula Evans is no longer affiliated with Max Lax Lacrosse.
THE MERGER: We are excited to announce the merger of
Mass Elite with the IAS Select Organization from Western Massachusetts. Jeff Coulson,
Director of IAS Select, Paula and Leslie have been colleagues for many years and
it is exciting for us to join forces with our Clubs as a “MASS ELITE/IAS
SELECT TEAM.” We all agree it will give more opportunity, growth, and
energy to the Mass Elite Corporation and we look forward to this expansion and
to offer many more opportunities to many more players!
The Mass Elite/IAS Select Team will be directed by Jeff Coulson
and practices will be open to all Club members. A few words from Jeff: “After
years of getting to know Paula Evans, and the Mass Elite teams and organization,
I am delighted that we have merged. We encourage you to ask questions as we continue
to work on the merger. This will help us clarify and create the finest program
in New England, if not the entire country! There is no question in my mind that
this will afford you (the players) far greater opportunities in the sport of lacrosse.”
IAS Select will still function as a team, but with this merger,
players are now able to have far greater opportunities. If, at any time, IAS Select
is unable to field a team, you will have the opportunity to play with a Mass Elite
team, and/or visa versa. Players will also be able to practice at any site, regardless
of whether it is a Mass Elite practice or IAS Select practice. We are coordinating
practices now so that they occur on different days, thus allowing players more
choices.
If you have any questions or would like to be involved with
Mass Elite or AchieveLax at some level please contact Paula Evans
at 781-545-2433. We are all eager to begin our season this June and look forward
to many rewards and accomplishments, on and off the field!
