On Sunday, Oct. 4, members of the Missoula Elite Lacrosse Men’s Varsity and Junior Varsity teams competed in an inter-squad scrimmage as part of the 3rd Annual Montana Shootout, hosted by The University of Montana Men’s Lacrosse team.

“Team Black” edged “Team White” in a 7-5 game that showcased players from the two programs. Junior Varsity attackers Jack Lundin (SO, Hellgate) and Logan Kuhn (FR, Hellgate) quarterbacked their respective offenses and led all scorers, with Lundin putting up a five-point performance and Logan Kuhn chipping in a trio of goals.

Varsity midfielders Coty Becker (JR, Sentinel), Matt Gosselin (SR, Big Sky), and Colter Lear (SR, Hellgate) controlled the ground ball game, transition play, and each contributed on the scoreboard as well. Becker finished the day with 2 goals and an assist. Other scorers on the day included Dane Kuhn (SR, Hellgate), Joel Colbert (SR, Hellgate), and Tanner Pace (SO, Big Sky), who each chipped in a goal. Both teams defenses played well, as did goalkeepers Rian Tuttle (SR, Hellgate) and Lance Altmaier (SR, Hellgate) who each finished with 5 saves.

Thanks to everybody who attended the event, especially supporters who came over from the Missoula Elite Fall Golf Scramble and The UM Men’s Lacrosse team for playing host. Also a huge thanks to the Kuhn’s, Gosselin’s, Reisner’s, Anderson’s, and all other family who worked concessions over the weekend to help support our program, it was greatly appreciated.
