VAIL - The second day of action in the 40th annual Vail Lacrosse Shootout saw the men's masters set its championship game and the men's and women's elite tournaments get under way.
In the masters division, Jagermeister cruised through the second round, and earned its spot in the championship game. In the second semifinal, the tournament's new overtime rules were tested for the first time when Adrenaline knocked off last year's champion, Hulu. The Adrenaline-Hulu matchup was the most exciting game of the day with three goals in the last 1:15 of regulation.
Last year's champion Merrill Lynch stayed true to form and defeated newcomers, the Crease Beavers, in the men's elite. On the women's side, 2011 champion Gang Green cruised past Paradise City in its first game at the Shootout.
Today, the men's masters division will wrap up with its championship game at 12:30 p.m. between Team Adrenaline and Jagermeister. Pool play will conclude in the morning for women's elite, and then teams will be placed into a bracket. The men's elite division will have its quarter-inals starting at 9 a.m. at Ford Field.
Men's Masters
Semifinals
Jagermeister 12, Olympic Club 6
Olympic Club was right on Jager's heels for an intense first half of the game. The second half got a little more relaxed as Jager widened its lead. James Kappler of Jagermeister helped his team win with four goals.
Adrenaline 8, Hulu 7
This heated semifinal game went to overtime thanks to Adrenaline's Bobby Magrin, who had a total of six goals, including the game-winning overtime goal. The efforts of Hulu goalie Kevin McGurn were nothing short of impressive, however, with a total of 18 saves. Both teams held their own and maintained intensity throughout the game, but it was Adrenaline which managed to come out on top.
