Lakers compete in opening weekend

The Lakers competed at the McHenry Tourney in the Chicago area this past weekend. They played three Top 20 nationally ranked teams. 

New Laker Coach; Mike Turnbull had this to say, "Not the way anyone wants to open up, but we will move forward with high aspirations. We competed pretty well for the most part. We do need to get off the mental and emotional rollercoaster. After our first 4 matches, we know we can compete in our division. We definitely found out what we need to do to be successful and we also found out what will get us beat. Right now we have to work on our mental toughness. There were too many times this weekend when we beat ourselves."

"Going forward, I am very excited about our potential to be successful this year. We just have to avoid taking ourselves out of tough moments," said Coach Turnbull.
