June 11, 2008 Bear's Lacrosse Team Beats Lehman's

From Bloomberg:

Bear Stearns Cos.' lacrosse team beat Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. 11-4 last night, a rare piece of good news for workers at the now-defunct Wall Street firm.

Peter LeSueur, 25, scored four of Bear Stearns's goals, leading the team to victory at Baker Field in Manhattan three months after the firm collapsed and was forced to sell itself to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

"It's been something that we've been able to look forward to," said LeSueur, a former fixed-income analyst at Bear Stearns who played lacrosse at Johns Hopkins University from 2002 to 2005. "There were a lot of question marks surrounding the firm in the last couple of months, and just for fun we were able to keep our focus on this and know that we'd be able to play together and maintain our friendships."
