Grand Rapids Boys Lacrosse opens season in Osseo
It was a brand new experience for everyone involved when the Grand Rapids Boys Lacrosse team took the road to Osseo to open the 2009 MBSLA Lacrosse season. The first draw for the doubleheader was Edina. Rapids got off to a quick lead when Dom Deguiseppi came in from the right midfield position, gained possession of the face-off and took it the length of the field to score an un-assisted goal, and give Grand Rapids a 1-0 lead. Edinas patience and experience paid off, however, as they tied the game halfway through the first period, then continued to build on the lead. Rapids in-experience showed as they took several penalties, putting them shorthanded on a number of Edinas scoring chances.
