The Gauchos are the defending champions of the WWLL and Lindenwoed are the defending champions of the WCLL. Four night games on the UCSB Rob Field turf wrap up the twelve Friday games that kick off the Shootout. Men's lacrosse fans even have something to look forward to on the weekend of the Shootout. The UCSB Men's Lacrosse team will host rival Cal Poly SLO at 1pm on Saturday at the UCSB Lacrosse Field (aka The Pit). Then on Monday both UCSB teams will take on BYU in a double header with the women squaring off at 11:00am and the men facing off at 1:00pm.

"If you're one of those people who can't get enough lacrosse," says SBCC head women's lacrosse coach Jillian Boyd, "then this is the weekend to be in Santa Barbara."

UCSB, SBCC and Brine are pleased to present the 22nd Annual Santa Barbara Shootout for the enjoyment of all.

Santa Barbara, CA - The SBCC women's lacrosse club is going to practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 7am to 9am at UCSB. Due to complications getting evening practice space at SBCC the team is taking advantage of a generous offer by UCSB to use their turf. The team will share the space, a twin field side by side turf complex, with the UCSB ROTC program cadets completing their daily fitness training. The majority of the team lives in nearby Isla Vista, either in one of the privately owned residence halls or an apartment, so the location for practice is more convenient for morning practices than the downtown location of the SBCC campus. Additional information about practice and playing opportunities is on the Team Member Info page of the SBCC women's lacrosse website.

Santa Barbara, CA - The SBCC women's lacrosse club starts practice on Tuesday, January 26th, with a 5 to 7pm fitness training session at LaPlaya Stadium at SBCC. Practices the first week of the spring semester are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 5 to 7pm.  All interested players should contact head coach Jillian Boyd and meet at LaPlaya Stadium at SBCC at 5pm dressed ready to work out. The first action for the team are pre-season 3 v. 3 scrimmages in the UCSB 3 v. 3 Tournament on Sunday, January 31st. The regular season starts with a home opener vs. Marymount College on Friday, February12th.

Santa Barbara, CA - The Santa Barbara City College women's lacrosse club released their Spring Schedule today. The program opens with small sided exhibition scrimmages in the UCSB 3 v. 3 Tournament on January 31st. After a weekend off the Vaqueros will open the regular season with Marymount College of Palos Verdes. SBCC hosts Marymount at La Playa Stadium in a 7pm match-up on Friday, February 12th. It is the first game all-time between community college women's lacrosse teams in California. The two teams end the season with each other as well with a 12 Noon game at Marymount on Saturday, April 24th.

Hundreds of four year schools and thousands of high schools have recently started playing women's lacrosse in the west but these two year school programs are the only known community college women's lacrosse teams west of the Mississippi. With all the preps playing the game it's only a matter of time before more two year school programs start but SBCC and Marymount will always be the first two programs in California.

Following the inaugural community college match-up with Marymount the Vaqueros play in the Santa Barbara Shootout at UCSB February 13th & 14th. Regular season games on four other weekends follow with the clubs from UNLV, Sonoma State, Cal Poly SLO 'B', Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Long Beach to make up the season. The schedule is set up so the SBCC team plays every other weekend and has multiple weekends off during the season. The Vaqueros will also not be playing during their spring break.

The complete schedule may be found on the Schedule & Results page on the team website.

Santa Barbara, CA - The SBCC women's lacrosse club played in the second annual Santa Barbara Fall Brawl at UCSB to get some experience together with a roster of mostly new faces. The event featured 22 teams at the high school, collegiate and post-collegiate levels. UCSB is turning Santa Barbara into a great middle of the state place for teams to meet and now offers three major events a year for teams at the middle school, high school, collegiate and post-collegiate levels. The Gauchos host the Fall Brawl, the UCSB 3 v. 3 Tournament and the Santa Barbara Shootout.

In their first game of the day SBCC fell 9-7 to Chapman University in a game that was close most of the way until the Tigers pulled ahead at the end. The short-handed SBCC squad lost 11-5 to a full UNLV team in their second game of the day. Overall it was good experience for the Vaqueros to play together during the non-traditional season. SBCC will be bolstered in the spring when additional players join the team for the regular season.

Scores from all the games may be found by clicking on Schedule & Results of the Fall Brawl page of the UCSB women's lacrosse website.
