Lacrosse is one the fastest growing sports in Minnesota.  The growth of the sport has also led to increased popularity of club travel teams. The Minnesota Loons are a club team that travels throughout the upper Midwest and the 2024 and 2025 teams were recently in Boyd, Maryland playing 5 games near our nation's capital.  Both teams finished 3-2 in the 5 games they played there.
