Colorado State University Cuts Ties with Men's
Lacrosse Team - April 1, 2005
The Colorado State University men's lacrosse team is no more, according to sources close to
the program and within the school. Due to what the CSU Club Sports Department describes only
as, "budget cuts and massive violation of club policy," the university has cut all
ties with the men's lacrosse team, including naming rights, field availability and budget
stipends for the remainder of the 2005 school year and possibly the future. The measure was
put into effect on Wednesday, March 30 and was implemented immediately. (April Fools)

behind staunch defending and smart goaltending. The second half saw Colorado State tie the
game but these two top five teams needed more than 60:00 to decide this game. In the two overtime

Colorado State's Offense Explodes
for 24-7 Win Over Texas A&M - February 12, 2005

campus they were greeted with a downpour that soaked just about everything including the Astroturf
playing surface. For the second time in a day Colorado State suited up for the third game

keep the Rams offense cold for long as the Rams fired 38 shots on goal in the 24-7 win under
the lights.

overwhelmed the Texas Tech Red Raiders 21-7 on Saturday morning. CSU rained shots on the Tech
goal and were relentless on both sides of the field as a light drizzle fell from the Texas
sky. Just 18 hours after dismantling Auburn, CSU's offensive output continued to impress as
7 different players scored 2 goals or more in a balanced effort that put away a team coming
off one of its biggest wins in years. Texas Tech had the upset of the weekend against #13
Texas A&M on Friday night, but could not keep the momentum going against a potent CSU
squad.
Rams Overwhelm Auburn with 23 Goals
in Season Opening Victory - February 11, 2005
Some say the first goal of a team's season will give a good prediction as to how the rest
of the year will go; if there is any truth to that saying it's going to be a good year for
the 2005 CSU Rams. Just 1:22 seconds after the opening face off freshmen Shay Cunningham (Algonquin
HS, MA) executed a spectacular dive shot, becoming totally horizontal in the air before releasing
the ball past the Auburn goaltender. His goal was the first of many against the Tigers as
the Rams rolled to a 23-2 victory.

CSU Rams Lacrosse 2005
Season Preview - January 1, 2005
Despite losing a heartbreaking 8-7 game in the national championship last year, the Colorado
State Rams are determined to make it back to the final game of the year in Blaine, Minnesota
for the 2005 season. The 2005 Rams enter the season with a #2 preseason ranking and will have
new faces on both sides of the ball joining an already solid core of players. With perhaps
some of the greatest players to ever go through Colorado State having moved on due to graduation
or other issues, the Rams will be looking for people to step up on both sides of the field.
