Reilly Walsh is scheduled to play in the 11th-annual Under Armour All-America Senior Lacrosse Game, hosted by Towson University on July 2 at 8:00 p.m. Walsh was also named an All-American by the organization. ESPNU will be broadcasting the game live.
To be named an Under Armour All-American, a player must be nominated by a coach or athletic director and then selected by a committee at Inside Lacrosse.
Walsh, bound for Duke University this fall, is one of 44 players selected for the event. The freshly-minted Brunswick graduate will play attack on the 22-member North team that will face-off against an equally numbered South squad.
The Bronxville, N.Y., resident finished his 2016 campaign with a career-high 67 points, including 42 goals.
While Walsh consistently drew the most attention from opposing defenses, his teammates benefitted. Walsh dished out a career-high 25 assists, helping his team to an impressive 15-3 record.
For his three years on the varsity squad, Walsh collected 182 points (133 goals, 49 assists).
According to his coach David Bruce, Walsh was a great leader as a co-captain as well as a team player. “He would be the first to recognize that much of his success came from the play of others,” said coach Bruce.
The 44 players in the all-star game represent a group of 2016 graduates from some of the best-known high school lacrosse programs in the country.
