Former Blue Devils to Play for USA Lacrosse in Lake Placid
7/30/2021 10:30:00 AM | Men's Lacrosse
DURHAM, N.C.—Former Duke men's lacrosse players Justin Guterding, Brad Smith, Michael Sowers and Patrick Resch have been named to the USA Lacrosse Sixes roster for an evaluation camp of the new Worlds Lacrosse Sixes discipline during the Lake Placid Summit Classic Aug. 2-4.
Guterding and Smith both participated in the first camp earlier in July at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md., and played an exhibition game at the USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals in Frederica, Del. A third event is planned for October at USA Lacrosse headquarters.
Sixes is a fast-paced version of the sport played on a smaller field (70 x 36 meters), with fewer players (6 v 6), a condensed game length (four 8-minute quarters) and a 30-second shot clock.
World Lacrosse will continue to use the traditional field game for its world championships, including the 2022 World Lacrosse Women's World Championship, which will be hosted by USA Lacrosse at
Towson University next summer. However, Sixes will be the format used for some designated events, including The World Games, a multi-sport Olympic-style event, in Birmingham, Ala., next summer.
Guterding started all 75 games at attack at Duke, amassing a then NCAA-record 212 career goals. A three-time All-American and 2018 Tewaaraton Award finalist, Guterding finished his Duke career ranked second in program history and fifth in NCAA history with 351 career points. The Garden City, N.Y., native currently plays for Chrome LC in the Premier Lacrosse League.
A versatile player for the Blue Devils, Smith played both midfield and attack in his four seasons at Duke. He finished his career with 175 points from 87 goals and 88 assists and graduated ranked 22nd in program history in points and 12th in career assists. A three-time All-American, Smith was drafted ninth in the inaugural PLL draft by the Whipsnakes.
Sowers played one season for Duke as a graduate student transfer after a stellar career at Princeton. The talented attackman led the Blue Devils in scoring in 2021 en route to earning USILA All-America first team honors. He was a Tewaaraton Award finalist for the second time and graduated ranked second in NCAA history in assists. He was the No. 2 pick in the PLL College Draft by the Waterdogs and played one game before suffering an injury.
Resch, like Sowers, played one season for Duke as a graduate student transfer after a career at Dartmouth. During his time in Durham, Resch played in 18 games as a defensive midfielder. He collected 24 ground balls and force five turnovers. For his career, Resch played in 62 games and posted 14 goals and 11 assists.
