Total embarrassment to the Madlax team and program giving anyone playing and watching further evidence that Madlax is a total disaster led by a class A jerk. Throw in a few crazy Madlax parents arguing with the refs after the game was a new low for the Madlax program and bad for youth lacrosse in general.

So a team lost a game. This equals a club melt down. Ok got it. Madlax knows the 2020 team is weak. You can see by the number of none Capital players on this National team. Its hard to win big games when a team is made up of kids from 5 programs. As for parents yelling at Refs this is a youth sport common theme. This is not a one team problem. I saw a dad yelling at the ref at a soccer game on the way to the 3D tournament was that Madlaxs fault?
I saw this while waiting to take the field for the next game. Madlax scored two quick goals to tie the game for OT. The ref tried to hustle the teams to face off while players were trying to get water and get organized. The ref whistled Madlax for delay of game and the other team (forget team) scored in about 20 seconds or so. Very questionable call for OT in a semifinal game. I didn't hear any yelling from the parents but it looked like some went to ask the ref what had happened. Madlax coach was ticked but gathered his team and exited the field as we came on. Would have liked to see a braveheart!
