Brett Craig, former Seton Hill lacrosse standout, to play for Philadelphia Barrage
Former Seton Hill All-American Brett Craig is extending his lacrosse career.
Craig will play for the Philadelphia Barrage of Major League Lacrosse after spending the 2020 season with the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League.
Philadelphia announced its roster this week.
A defensive standout, Craig played in eight games with Colorado, tallying two goals and two assists. He was the 26th player picked in the 2019 NLL Draft.
He also played in the Western Lacrosse Association with the Victoria Shamrocks before his rights were traded to the Maple Ridge Burrards.
A native of Calgary, Alberta, he was the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Specialist of the Year after his final season at Seton Hill. He is a two-time United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Third Team All-American.
The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Craig has been in the MLL before, with the Atlanta Blaze, but was inactive before moving on with his career.
Each MLL team will have a 25-man active roster and a five-man reserves list. If anyone on the active roster tests positive for covid-19, he will be replaced by a player from the reserves list. The 2020 season will be run from July 18-26 in Annapolis, Md.
