USA Lacrosse Announces Roster
After coming up short with a Silver Medal in 2014, the United States National Lacrosse team is out for blood this year. The U.S. has just named the roster for the 2018 Lacrosse World Championships and they did not disappoint. There are 8 guys returning from the 2014 team including Savage Paul Rabil, who has made the All-World Team in 2010 and 2014. The other seven returners include notable lacrosse demos like Rob Pannell, Ned Crotty and Jesse Bernhardt.
Another giant addition to the 2018 Roster will be face-off man, Trevor Baptiste, from Denver University. Baptiste has the NCAA record for best face-off record by a freshman; he also has been a First Team All-American two years, Big East Midfielder of the Year, named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team and won a National Championship. The kid's a work horse.
By college, Maryland has five selections, Duke has three, Hopkins has three, Hofstra and Syracuse have two. The tournament isn't until July, but by all measurements it looks like the USA has positioned themselves for a run at the Gold Medal. We will keep an eye on these Collegiate players during the NCAA Season and the strong Canadian team that will surly bring the heat.
