Victorious Sunday Matinee of College Club Lacrosse! Texas Horns Roam over the Buffalos of Colorado.

 




March 1st, 2026 George Vance McGee in-person reporter. 

"Stunning" --Colorado visiting parent in reference to the Austin Texas face-off weather at 11am this Sunday morning. 

1st quarter action, Texas Horns get out to an excellent start. At the end of the 1st quarter. It's Texas 4 - Colorado Buffs 0. 

the 2nd quarter was a yellow penalty flag festival for both squads; man-up, man-down, hockey-esqe, ref laundry littered everywhere, 5 on 4, 4 on 5, 5 on 5, 6 on 4. It got discombobulated. The bleacher fans and I lost track.

In the 2nd quarter Colorado charges back to make it a game. Halftime Texas 6, The Visiting team from Boulder, Colorado 4. 

(sidenote GVM opinion = Boulder, Colorado is one of the coolest small towns in America, if you can ever visit for fun, go.)

3rd quarter our Texas Longhorns came out aggressive and trying to win! 3rd Quarter highlight was a "POLE GOAL". a Texas longpole dman/middie made it to the offensive side and let loose a joyous straight line-drive shot, that whizzed passed the CU goalie. A pulsating and energizing "POLE GOAL," for the Caven Field fans in attendance. Texas 8 Colorado 4.  

3rd and 4th quarter notepad scores: 
Texas 9 CU 4
Texas 9 CU 6
Texas 10-CU 6
Texas 11 CU 6
Texas 12 CU 6
Texas 13- CU 6. 

Overall general gameplay and Alumni weekend observations:
  • The Texas Defense is formidable and stout. Per the consensus alumni word of mouth the defense played "lights out, our goalie was On again."
  • Possible gameplay areas for Longhorn Lax improvement. the Man-Up offense was ineffective, had difficulty getting shots on cage and turned it over, often. So Man-Up needs some attention.
  • The Face-Offs at Midfield, Texas continually looses. This has been a multi-game issue.
  • Overall it was a feel-good Double WIN Victory weekend for Texas, inducing a jovial mood for all Texas Horn Alumni in Attendance
  • Special Thanks and Horns Way Up to Don Carnes for hosting a Saturday afternoon soiree with wine, food, refreshments and ice cold shiner bocks @ his stately classy Home in the Hemphill Park neighborhood of Central ATX.  Good casual fun, and talks with current players, Head Coach Lou, and the alumni.

Victory Slips Away at Home as Texas Horns Lose to Boston College 14-13 in Double Overtime

Victory Slips Away at Home as Texas Falls to Boston College, 14–13 in Double Overtime George Vance McGee, Alumni Reporter – In-Person Viewer georgevance@gmail.com February 13, 2026 There’s nothing like a Friday night at Caven Field, and as a proud Texas Lacrosse alumni, I was happy to be there in person, on a balmy early spring ATX weather night. Unfortunately, this game ended in heartbreak as our Horns lost to the visiting Boston College Eagles Club Team in double overtime, 14–13. Yes = Double Overtimes. A Sluggish Start — On and Off the Field The Horns started a little sluggish, but once they found their rhythm, they really got going. The scoreboard, however, never quite did. After three or four attempts to revive the malfunctioning Caven Field scoreboard, it officially got fired. From that point on, the on-field referees were responsible for keeping time, score, and order. A rare home-field bummer for the Texas Longhorn atmosphere — but the crowd stayed engaged and present.

The Scrimmage that Felt & Lived like a Game. Texas Longhorns emerge Victorious 10-8 over the Div. 3 Southwestern Pirates

 Cold Night, Hot Lacrosse Action.  January 30th 2026. On a chilly cold winter night, The Texas Men's Lacrosse team began their 2026 Spring season with a Scrimmage vs the Div. 3 Level Southwestern Pirates from Georgetown, TX. It was an abundant crowd, that was well-bundled up and coated for a cold evening. Those of us fans whom did show up in person, were gifted an intense match of legit dual-team effort, timely coach strategized time-outs and impressive lacrosse gameplay action.   The game in general was refereed fairly, as both teams were able to play aggressively and yellow flag penalties were only thrown when warranted. Some basic insights I gathered from Southwestern parents and alumni in the crowd. Southwestern is a small 1,200+/- person Methodist religion based, liberal arts college, with yearly tuition at an astronomical $60,000 per year. A Southwestern parent with a son playing on the Division 3 Level team informed me their active players usually get roughly ...

A Bonanza of Central Texas Youth Lacrosse; the Texas Longhorns Hosted Weekend Tournament. Dec. 6th & 7th, 2025

--Written By Alumni Texas Lacrosse Reporter; George Vance McGee (Austin Silent Market Real Estate Broker Associate 512.657.9281 georgevance@gmail.com)   After I acquired a legal & rare parking spot in the North Loop neighborhood in the morning, I took an easy stroll over to EPOCH for a smooth and calm morning drip coffee awakening. Post caffeination, it was now time for my Texas Longhorn Lax Shootout baptismal experience. Surprisingly, this was my 1st ever in-person Longhorn Youth Tournament Weekend Experience. Simply put; There's a lot going on! The Texas Intramural Fields circa 51 & Guadalupe street are looking pristine, upgraded, green, well-kept and ready for action. I witnessed a festival of lacrosse! Every field in sight my eyes could advance and venture to was brimming with Active Youth or High Lacrosse players, coaches, parents, volunteers, friends or family. I'd guesstimate there's roughly 2 thousand + physical humans in attendance at all times on site. Sat...
