Duke Lax Future On Display

Just a reminder that you can see four members of Duke's incoming freshman class of men's lax players in the Under Armour All-American game Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on ESPNU.

The girls' game, which is apparently not on TV, is at 5:00 p.m. and features five Duke recruits.

The Under Armour underclass tournament is going on all weekend, and features a small mob of rising high school seniors (and some rising juniors) who have verbally committed to Duke.

All of this stuff is taking place at or in the vicinity of Johnny Unitas Stadium on the campus of Towson University in suburban B'more. If you're in the neighborhood, I'm sure it would make for a fun afternoon or evening.

LG(future)D!

The most impressive performance of the day by a Duke recruit was turned in by midfielder Kelci Smesko. The former Ridgewood (NJ) Maroon scored five goals in the South girls' 25-13 win. Madison Acton from Lincoln-Sudbury (MA) and Emma Lazaroff from Centaurus HS in Lafayette, CO scored for the North.

On the boys side, midfielder Deemer Class from Loyola-Blakefield scored two goals and displayed a mature game, while goaltender Luke Aaron from Deerfield Academy made seven saves in a half of action, including one highlight-reel stuff at point-blank range, to help the South win 12-11. Attackman Case Mattheis from Darien (CT) HS rang up an assist for the North.

Welcome to Duke, lax class of 2016.
