Good guys win again. BC notches another quality, team win after a tough loss to Marin the previous weekend.
Stand out performances include Matt Levy and Mark Bloomquist in cage, Logan Quinn at midfield, Max T with a few timely buckets, Kyle Jordan's dad, and a salty high-to-high lefty rip (on the run, mind you) from Nicole Richards.
Honorable mentions include mean defense in the form of Joe Vila and Connor Handy. Matt Rudow's flowing curls.
This game marked the debut of new light jerseys and Nike shorts courtesy of Blake Kim and Tyler Page. Never one for semantics, Tom Bendon characterized...

Eastbay held a close game with BC until the fourth quarter when Barbary pulled away for a 15 - 9 win over one of the league's newest additions.
The game was marked by hard-fought, team-oriented play with more than 10 BC goals being assisted. The record will reflect that Nick Richards assisted all of his own goals. Offensive highlights included 4 buckets from Matt Graupmann, another strong midfield showing by Logan Quinn, and a coldblooded Colin Short at attack.
Pat Connelly, Joe Zingone, and Connor 'Big Tree Fall Hard' Handy held the line on defense, providing ardent support to Tyler...

What makes a team?
Is it a catchy name- conjuring thoughts of past glory, steeped in history and tradition? Check.
Is it a flashy logo- a sigil under and around which comrades can rally their collective cries? Check (and now with a mustache!).

While all the above may help to project the image of a team, it is of course the 'mates that make a team. Countless times over the course of this 2014 season thus far, Barbary Coast has risen to the challenge and shown the meaning...

Barbary Coast kicked off its 2014 season (a campaign for which the retrospective Sports Illustrated commemorative video (with accompanying commemorative, limited edition hooded sweatshirt) has been tentatively titled "Road to Redemption") on a strong note this past Saturday, earning a 14-2 victory over San Francisco Lacrosse Club.
The team, fueled throughout by Brett "Magic Time" Heim's near perfect dominance on face-offs, came out hard and fast from first whistle (so this tardy reporter has been told) and kept on the pressure on its way to a truly complete victory. Quality play pervaded...

Down 0-4 at halftime, Barbary Coast battled back, behind stellar play in goal by John Meade, to beat Olympic Club in double overtime. Scotty Tompkins netted the game winner early into the second overtime. Dr. Lulay led post-game celebrations that evening in North Beach where Ryan Brown-Normandeau was insulted by a man in a vest.
BC is on a bye this week and will face off next against Marin on Saturday, April 20th in Sausalito.

Defense looked solid, allowing only one goal, behind what's turning into a stable of good goalies. Tough day for Kanach who received a mild concussion while Georgetown was being upset by FGCU, but he bounced back to host the first ever, annual backyard BBQ. Tom Bendon took home MVP honors at the BBQ.
BC will host Olympic Club on Saturday, April 6th @ 2pm.
