Host of Blue Devils Set for USA Fall Classic this Weekend
10/15/2021 1:30:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
DURHAM, N.C.—A host of former Blue Devils along with current head coach John Danowski and junior Dyson Williams will travel take part in an action-packed weekend of lacrosse in Baltimore as USA Lacrosse hosts the USA Fall Classic at USA Lacrosse headquarters.
The event features six teams in all, including the reigning gold (United States) and silver (Canada) medalists at the most recent World Lacrosse men's and women's championships along with the 2021 NCAA Division I champions — Boston College (women) and Virginia (men).
For fans unable to attend the games, every game will be streamed by Lax Sports Network.
Leading the way for the United States in his second term as the head coach – the first time in the history of the USA men's program – is Danowski. Former Blue Devils on the USA roster include Myles Jones, Patrick Resch, JT Giles-Harris, Brad Smith and Cade Van Raaphorst. Suiting up for Canada is Williams, one of a handful of collegiate players on the roster.
Giles-Harris will be making his return to play for the first time since suffering an injury in the NCAA semifinals. He missed his rookie season in the Premier Lacrosse League after being drafted third overall by Chrome. Resch, a one-year member of the Blue Devils as a graduate student transfer, is coming off a championship season with Chaos, excelling as a defensive midfielder.
Jones finished his third year in the PLL, ranking second in league in points with 32 from 14 goals, including one two-pointer, and 17 assists, in regular season play. He led all midfielders in the league in scoring and ranked second overall in points and assists behind Grant Ament.
Smith was a key reason Whipsnakes won their way to a third consecutive PLL title game as he finished his regular season with 21 points from 11 goals and 10 assists. He shined in the postseason, netting five goals and four assists en route to the runner-up finish.
An anchor for Atlas' defense, Van Raaphorst finished tied for second in nine regular season contests with 16 caused turnovers. He also picked up 26 ground balls, ranking 10th among non-faceoff specialists or goaltenders.
In addition to the Fall Classic, the Sunday games from the Brogden Cup, featuring the men's and women's USA Select U16 and U18 teams playing against teams representing the Haudenosaunee Nationals and Ontario will also be streamed on LSN.
Tickets are also on sale for the Fall Classic, with discounted pricing for USA Lacrosse members.
