The first half of the Vail Lacrosse Shootout completed on Wednesday with the final games of the U19 Boys tournament as newcomer Red Bandana defeated Colorado, 16-15, in double overtime in the U19 Boys Division 1 final.

The Red Bandanas – comprised of players from 10 states – won the title on a goal by Jeremy Magno (Bergen Catholic-NJ/Harvard), his third of the game. Anthony DeMaio (Coronado-CA/Boston University) led the Red Bandanas with five goals, and attack Ryan Graff (Bloomington Jefferson-MN/Harvard) also scored three, while Nicholas DeMaio (Coronado-CA, 2018/Boston University) scored two.
