Duluth Wins First State Championship!


The Duluth Chargers won their first MBSLA State Championship in club history Saturday June 13
Duluth Chargers Celebrate their State Championship Victory!
with an 8-6 victory over Hudson.  The Chargers avenged an early season 7-6 loss to Hudson with their win in the final game.  Trailing 4-3 at halftime, the Chargers controlled play in the second half to come away with the victory.  Moving the ball well and with a balanced attack that saw 7 different Chargers players score a goal in the game, Duluth controlled possession in the 2nd half allowing them to come back from the one goal halftime deficit.  It was the first state championship ever for a Northern Minnesota lacrosse team.

With the victory, the Chargers were able to capture their first title.  It was a culmination of steady improvement for the club and with numerous seniors, it was a fitting end to their stellar lacrosse careers.  Having come away with 3rd place two years ago and a runners-up 2nd place finish to St. Louis Park last season, this years championship was satisfying. 

The Duluth Chargers JV squad fell short of their own championship season with a 9-6 loss to Hudson, the only team to beat the JV squad this season.
