Lacrosse team committed or the long haul
By Bobby Lewis
Senior Staff Writer
The Mean Green lacrosse
team intended to practice
Tuesday night at Traditions
Field, but only a few of the
team's 18 players showed
up.
First-year head coach
Cosey Carlisle put a note
on the field's surrounding
fence saying practice was
cancelled because of lack of
commitment.
With the team already
sporting a thin roster, it
needs all the commitment
it can get from its players.
"Nobody was expecting
much from us, because we've
got a new coach and we lost
a lot of our senior players
from last year," Carlisle said.
"We've come out in our first
five games and really shocked
a lot of people, and they're
picking us to win our half of
our division now."
The Mean Green (3-2,
1-0) currently sits in second
place in the North Division
of the Lone Star Alliance

Conference.
"The season's gone real
well. We've got a good téam,"
said freshman midfielder
Ian Walton. "I think we can
go undefeated from here. I
really do."
The offense is led by senior
attackman Timothy Daniel,
who has a team-high 21
points. Juniors midfielder
Matt Reed and attackman
Sean Keeley are right behind
Daniel, with 19 and 14
points.
"We've proved to ourselves
and everyone else in the
conference that we can play
with the best of them," Daniel
said.
Senior goalie Mark Cantu
has become a defensive pillar
for the team, with 72 saves
through the first five games.
Cantu ranks second in the
conference with a 0.65 save
percentage.
"He's doing wonderful,"
Carlisle Said. "He played a
few years ago and then quit
and came back last year. His
improvements from last year
to this year are just phenom-
enal. He's looking like the
best goalie in the league right
now."
UNT has four games left
on the schedule, two which
will be home games at "Beer
Barn Field," located across
the Beer Barn on West Prairie
Street,
The team was supposed to
play road games at Virginia
Tech, North Carolina State
and Wake Forest* but the
team's budget — like most
other club sports — was
cut in half, so the trips
were deemed unaffordable,
Carlisle said.
The team will face the
Texas Christian Horned Frogs
March 25 on the road.
"The main thing we want
to do is try to make it to the
playoffs and try to win the
LSA North," Carlisle said.
"The good thing is we only
have two guys graduating,
so we're really just getting
everybody prepared for next
season. We're trying to get as
far as we can this season, but
we're really looking forward
to the 2012 season."

What you missed: Spring break sports
Opinion
By Sean Gorman
Sports Editor
While many UNT students
spent spring break relaxing, the
world of UNT athletics continued
without interruption.
If you ventured to a different
state of mind during last week's
break, here's an update on what
happened to the Mean Green in
the middle of March.
Men's golf team impresses
Competing in the 2011 Desert
Shootout in Arizona, the men's
golf team hit its lowest score in
13 years with a 21 -under par 843
and finished in fourth place,
U NT had three players place
in the Top 20, with sophomore
Rodolfo Cazaubon leading the
way with an 11th place finish.
The fourth place position was
the Mean Green's fifth-straight
Top 5 finish, as the team hasn't
finished lower than fourth place
all season.
Tennis team splits conference
matches
After falling to its rival, No.
61 Florida International, 1-6,
the tennis team rebounded and
defeated South Alabama 6-1.
Continuing her success
in singles play, junior Irina
Paraschiv defeatedher opponent
6-2,6-3. Paraschiv has won seven
of her last eight matches.
The Mean Green will try to
win two straight for the first
time this season when it hosts
Texas-El Paso at 3 p.m. Friday.
Softball team follows big win
with tough losses
The softball team notched
an impressive win over No.
17 Louisiana-Lafayette then
dropped four of its next five
games.
UNT split its doubleheader
with No. 18 B aylor at home, then
lost three straight games by less
than three runs to conference
foe Middle Tennessee.
The Mean Green returns to
action when it visits Oklahoma
State at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
