Crowley To Play With Philadelphia All-Stars vs. Team USA On Friday

Game will be played at 8 pm at Lehigh University

Philadelphia, Pa. - Junior Kevin Crowley (New Westminster, British Columbia) will be joining the Philadelphia All-Stars for an exhibition game against Team USA on Friday evening at Lehigh University. Face-off is scheduled for 8 pm.

Crowley, who was the 2010 recipient for the Enners Award, given to the USILA's most outstanding Division I player, had one of the best seasons ever by a Stony Brook men's lacrosse player, posting 51 goals and 26 assists in 17 games. His 51 goals are a single-season program record and he's the only player in school history in the top five in goals (101) and assists (75). Crowley is just 26 points shy of the all-time record of 201.

The 2010 unanimous America East Player of the Year and Tewaaraton Award finalist, Crowley recorded at least two points in every game, including a career-high nine (4g, 5a) against Siena. All five assists against the Saints came in the first half, a Stony Brook record.

Stony Brook finished the season 13-4 and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the first time in school history. The Seawolves won nine straight games en route to a #6 ranking, the highest ever in program history.

Friday's exhibition is the second of three games for Team USA before they leave for England. The squad will take on the Major League Lacrosse All-Stars on July 8 at Harvard. SBU head coach Rick Sowell is an assistant for Team USA.
