⏪ Looking Back at 2025...

Every championship has a defining player.

Shakti LC Captain Andrew Schaeffer led by example, helping guide his team to the National Championship while earning ECD Lacrosse Tournament MVP honors.

His leadership, toughness, and ability to rise in the biggest moments made him the heartbeat of a championship team—and his MVP performance is one fans won’t soon forget.

🏆 One year later, the question is...

Who will be the next player to lift the trophy and take home Tournament MVP in 2026?

The stage is set. History is waiting.

After weeks of competition, the ULAX summer season came down to its final matchup: the No. 1 seed Bronx Lacrosse versus the No. 2 seed Risk Takers. Two of the league's most talented and consistent teams faced off with the championship on the line. From the opening whistle, Bronx Lacrosse established control. Their ball movement, stick skills, and disciplined approach allowed them to dictate possession and keep the Risk Takers' defense under constant pressure. Bronx scored four consecutive goals to open the championship game, quickly building a commanding lead and putting the Risk Takers in an uphill battle. But the Risk Takers refused to fold. They continued to fight and battled their way back with a pair of goals, showing the same toughness and competitiveness that had carried them all the way to the championship. Every possession became a battle as both teams fought for ground balls, contested shots, and tried to seize momentum. Bronx Lacrosse, however, remained composed. Their discipline and execution continued to separate them as the game progressed. Strong stick work, smart passing, and relentless offensive pressure allowed Bronx to maintain control while their defense limited the Risk Takers' opportunities to complete the comeback. The Risk Takers continued to battle until the final whistle, but Bronx Lacrosse simply proved to be too much on championship night. With their combination of talent, discipline, and determination, Bronx closed out the game with a convincing 12-6 victory. Bronx Lacrosse are your 2026 ULAX Summer Champions. After finishing the regular season as the No. 1 seed and winning their way through the playoffs, Bronx Lacrosse completed the job when it mattered most. They entered the summer as one of the league's top teams and left as champions.

The second ULAX semifinal of the night featured a showdown between the No. 2 seed Risk Takers and No. 3 seed Lock Jaw, with a spot in the championship game on the line. The game started as a back-and-forth battle, with both teams trading possessions and matching each other's intensity. The score remained tied at 2-2 for an extended stretch, with neither team willing to give an inch in what quickly became a tense playoff battle. Then the Risk Takers took control. Their faceoff play became a major difference-maker as they consistently won possession and gave their offense additional opportunities. The Risk Takers' faceoff specialist put together a standout performance, including a perfectly placed top-corner rip that gave his team a major spark and helped shift the momentum firmly in their favor. From there, the Risk Takers' defense locked in. They held Lock Jaw to just one additional goal for the remainder of the game while their offense continued to find ways to finish. Four more goals from the Risk Takers created the separation they needed to close out the semifinal. When the final whistle sounded, the No. 2 seed Risk Takers secured a 6-3 victory over No. 3 seed Lock Jaw and punched their ticket to the ULAX championship game. After a season filled with strong performances, the Risk Takers now have one final game standing between them and a summer ULAX championship.

Win or go home. The ULAX summer season officially entered playoff mode, and the first game of the night featured the No. 1 seed Bronx Lacrosse taking on The Birds with a spot in the championship game on the line. Bronx Lacrosse came into the postseason looking every bit like the league's top seed. From the opening whistle, they controlled the pace, moved the ball with confidence, and quickly built a commanding lead. Their offensive pressure was relentless, while their defense made it difficult for The Birds to find any consistent rhythm. The Birds continued to battle and brought plenty of energy to the field, but they struggled to break through against Bronx's defense. Their lone goal came on an impressive long-pole rip from distance, giving the team a much-needed spark. Despite the effort, The Birds were unable to mount the comeback they needed. With the championship within reach, Bronx Lacrosse stayed focused and continued to handle business on both ends of the field. They never allowed The Birds to gain significant momentum and comfortably closed out the victory. The win sends Bronx Lacrosse into the ULAX championship game, keeping their championship hopes alive as the No. 1 seed continues its postseason run. One game remains between Bronx and a summer league title.
