The 2002 U.S. Men’s Lacrosse Team, bound for Perth, Australia, July 5-15 for the International Lacrosse Federation (ILF) World Championship, continued its exhibition schedule Saturday against the Capital Lacrosse Club All-Stars at Georgetown Prep School in Rockville, Md. The U.S. team, coming off a 14-10 win over the New Jersey Pride of Major League Lacrosse in its exhibition opener Sunday dominated the assemblage of DC area stars 20-6.

The game was a part of the 2002 Sport Automotive Potomac Lacrosse Classic, hosted by the Potomac Chapter of US Lacrosse. At 12:30 p.m., Washington, D.C.-area senior boys high school all-stars will square off against their Baltimore-area counterparts. E-Lacrosse will post coverage of that event soon.
"We’re grateful to the Potomac Chapter of US Lacrosse for helping us bring a U.S. team exhibition game to the greater Washington, D.C., area," said Chris Hupfeldt, general manager of the 2002 U.S. Men’s Team. "We’re looking forward to being a part of the Potomac Classic. It should be a great day and a great opportunity for lacrosse fans to see their team that will go for gold in Australia."
The U.S. team, seeking its sixth straight ILF championship, will play six exhibition games through June 27 as final tuneups for the ILF tournament.
"The Potomac Chapter of US Lacrosse is happy to host and support the 2002 U.S. Men’s Team. We look forward to hosting future national teams, including the under-19 team and the women’s teams," said Homer Schwartz, secretary of the Potomac Chapter. "I’d like to thank Robert Fogarty of Sport Automotive for helping us put on the Potomac Lacrosse Classic."
Last weekend the U.S. was without four collegiate players who were competing for the NCAA Division I championship at Rutgers University over the weekend. Mike Powell, Josh Coffman, John Glatzel and Ryan Boyle joined the team this week. The Capital Lacrosse Club All-Stars feature former collegiate All-Americans Dudley Dixon (Johns Hopkins), Lindsey Dixon (Towson), Matt Rienzo (Georgetown), Kyle Sweeney (Georgetown) and Brian Zeller (Maryland).
