DURHAM, N.C.— The Duke Outdoor Lacrosse League (aka The D.O.L.L.) will make its debut this fall in Durham as the Blue Devil men's lacrosse program gets official practices underway. Head coach John Danowski and staff held the first official draft Monday evening via Zoom from the Duke men's lacrosse headquarters of John Danowski's garage.

Matt Danowski, the commissioner of the league, moderated the draft as the front offices of both the Blue and White teams sent in their picks. There were only a few boos for the commissioner as the top picks came off the board.

Graduate student transfer Michael Sowers was the first pick overall for White and graduate student defenseman JT Giles-Harris was the No. 1 choice for the Blue squad. While both teams feature a host of veterans, the Blue team will look to lead six of the seven freshmen, including the St. Anthony's trio of Brennan O'Neill, Aiden Danenza and Jake Naso.

The two teams squared off in the first intrasquad scrimmage of the fall this Friday. Blue came away with the victory, using a third-quarter run to pull away. The game got off to a bit of a slow start offensively with it tied 1-1 after the first quarter. Rookie Charlie O'Connor provided the opening goal to the DOLL season, and Cameron Badour added a hat trick to lead the way in the scoring column for Blue. All five goalies saw time between the pipes with Adler and Uppgren earning the respective starts.

All intrasquad scrimmages are closed to the public due to COVID19 restrictions.
