Denver Ranked Among Inside Lacrosse’s Top-10

DENVER – The University of Denver grabbed the 10th spot on Inside Lacrosse’s Top-10 Men’s Recruiting Class Rankings released this week. The Pioneers’ incoming class placed Denver just behind Albany, whose top freshmen hail from the New York area.

Topping the list is Princeton and rounding out the top-5 are Virginia, defending National Champions Maryland, Syracuse and Penn State.

Following closely behind are North Carolina, Georgetown and Navy. Johns Hopkins, a nine-time NCAA Division I Lacrosse Champion, was added to the Honorable Mention list along with Ohio State, Notre Dame, Harvard, Rutgers and Towson.

Last season, the Pioneers capped-off one of the program’s most successful seasons by earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three years, finishing the season with a 10-7 overall mark.

In Great Western Lacrosse League play, the Pioneers went 4-1 and shared the regular season title with Notre Dame and Ohio State. The team also earned the No. 2 seed in the inaugural GWLL Tournament.

Erwin votes for all-day grunt work - Outlaws’ sharp defender takes on “unsung” roles

Hospital visits, fundraising lunches, meeting with first responders — before Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski hits the road, her logistical coordinator, Benson Erwin, plans travel routes, security details, and entrance and exit points. He’s part of a team, playing a key, yet unsung, role.

It is not unlike the lacrosse field, where Erwin, who plays defensive midfielder for the Denver Outlaws, rarely gets noticed, scooping up ground balls and step sliding in front of hard-charging ballcarriers.

“I’ve said it millions of times,” he said, “I think my best games are when I fly under the radar.”

The third-year Outlaws seek their first Major League Lacrosse title, but step one is slowing the Los Angeles transition game Saturday in the semifinals.
