- Eagle Valley boys lacrosse is 0-2 after falling to Aspen 17-1 Tuesday. Christian Petersen scored the lone goal for the Devils, who lost to Crested Butte 9-8 in the season opener on March 8. Eagle Valley will try to get its first win on Thursday at Vail Mountain School. “We have one of the best rosters we’ve had in many years,” Aspen coach Tommy Cox, who has led the program since 2019, told the Aspen Times after the win. “I am overly excited to see that we are living up — to some degree — to that roster, to what we should be doing. A lot of area for improvement today. Eagle Valley came and fought hard. We just got to make sure we iron out the details for the rest of the season.”
