MILWAUKEE - Former Marquette University attackmen Jordan Greenfield and Andy DeMichiei were selected in the 2018 Major League Lacrosse Supplemental Draft on Wednesday afternoon.
Greenfield, who played for MU as a graduate student in 2015, was selected by the Boston Cannons with the 64th overall selection in the eighth round, while DeMichiei was picked in the 10th round by the Florida Launch (88th overall).
DeMichiei, originally selected in the 2017 MLL Collegiate Draft by the Ohio Machine, was an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection as a senior in 2017 while posting 16 goals and a team-high 16 assists. The 2017 Senior CLASS Award nominee was a three-time BIG EAST All-Academic Team selection and sits fifth all-time in Marquette history with 41 career goals and 77 points. The 2017 team captain also holds the MU single-game program record with seven goals at St. John's as a junior. The Pittsburgh native was the recipient of the 2017 BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Award.
Greenfield, also a BIG EAST Scholar Athlete Sport Excellence Award winner for men's lacrosse in 2015, was an All-BIG EAST Second Team selection and held the MU single-game record for goals (six) before DeMichiei broke it in 2016. Despite playing just one season at Marquette, Greenfield ranks in MU's career top 10 in eight offensive statistical categories after recording 57 points, including 36 goals in 2015.
The 2018 MLL season begins the weekend of April 21 when Greenfield and DeMichiei hope to join the ranks of former MU players in the league. Former teammates Liam Byrnes, Conor Gately, B.J. Grill, Ryan McNamara and Jacob Richard all played in the MLL during the 2017 season.
The two-time reigning BIG EAST Tournament Champion Golden Eagles begin the spring season with three road scrimmages before the regular season starts against Jacksonville on Saturday, Feb. 17 at Valley Fields. MU will play its spring scrimmages at Cleveland State (Jan. 27), Johns Hopkins (Feb. 3) and Penn (Feb. 10).
