FIFTH ANNUAL WARRIOR MAJOR LEAGUE CHALLENGE JUNE 1ST
February 28, 2005 - Top Senior Lacrosse Players Gather for All-Star Game, MLL Draft
Major League Lacrosse (MLL) announced today that the date and location for the fifth annual Warrior Major League Challenge has been set and tickets are now on sale, according to MLL Commissioner David Gross. The 2005 Warrior Major League Challenge returns to Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut on Wednesday June 1, 2005, with face-off set for 5:00 p.m. The event features the elite graduating college seniors playing in an all-star game under MLL rules, including a two-point goal line, 60-second shot clock and a limit of three long poles per team on the field. Immediately following the game, Major League Lacrosse will hold its 2005 Collegiate Draft, beginning at 8:00 p.m. The draft will be held at Sacred Heart’s Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets for the event cost $5.00 and include entry to watch the draft.
“We are delighted to have Sacred Heart hosting our Warrior Major League Challenge and Collegiate Draft for the second straight season,” said Gross. “The MLL is very appreciative for the support we receive from Sacred Heart Director of Athletic Marketing & Development Mark Adzigian and his staff. The school’s facilities are top-notch and provide the ideal location for two of our most important events. The 2005 graduating senior class is very strong and I expect another outstanding game. This will be one of our league’s most important drafts, one that all fans will want to see.”
"With our Division I men and women's lacrosse programs competing against quality opponents in the Colonial Athletic Association and Northeast Conference, respectively, we are pleased to once again partner with Major League Lacrosse,” said Adzigian. “Bringing the best college-age professional prospects to Sacred Heart to showcase their talents, our programs and ultimately, the widespread and rapid growth of top quality lacrosse being played at all levels in the state of Connecticut is truly exciting.”
