Westside Warriors Work Overtime for Silver Cup

Palisadian James Mann, an eighth-grader at St. Matthew's Parish School, scored the winning goal in overtime to lift the Westside Warriors to a 10-9 victory over the Pasadena Tribe in the 2011 Los Angeles Lacrosse League U15 Silver Cup Championships last Sunday at Ribet Academy in Los Angeles.

It is the first time in the league's 12-year history that the Warriors won the U15 title.

Nate Galper, an eighth-grader at Paul Revere Middle School, scored four goals for the Warriors while fellow Palisadian Alec Simpson led the team in ground balls in the final game.
