Pair Will Tryout For Shot At 2010 World Championships
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Two members of the Stony Brook men's lacrosse team will be headed to Canada for a weekend next month. Juniors Kevin Crowley (New Westminster, B.C.) and Jordan McBride (New Westminster, B.C.) are among the 55 players that have been invited to selection camp for Team Canada. The team that will represent Canada at the 2010 Federation of International Lacrosse World Championship will be chosen at the camp, which will take place from October 9-12 at St. Michaels College School in Toronto. In addition to the two current Seawolves, former SBU standout Rhys Duch '08 was also invited.
First team all-America East selections in 2009, Crowley and McBride were the backbone of a Stony Brook offense that averaged 11.2 goals per game to rank 9th in the nation. McBride, who finished with a team-high 42 goals, reached the 40-goal level for a second straight season and finished second in the nation in goals per game. Crowley led Stony Brook in points with 51 and was second on the team in both goals (28) and assists (23). He finished 13th in the nation in points per game.
One of Stony Brook's all-time leading scorers with 106 points, Duch was named the National Lacrosse League's Rookie of the Year in 2009 after an outstanding first season with the San Jose Stealth. The #3 overall pick in the 2008 NLL Entry Draft, he set a new rookie scoring record with 89 points (35g, 54a), breaking the previous mark of 82 points set in 2002.
