Matt Striebel '01, Ryan Boyle '04, Ryan Mollett '01 and Trevor Tierney '01, all members of the winning 2002 U.S. team at the men's lacrosse World Championships, and Jesse Hubbard '98, who won with the U.S. team in 1998, are among 12 current and former Princeton players who will be trying out for the U.S. team for the 2006 championships.
Tryouts will be held June 13-16 at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. A total of 23 players will be selected for the U.S. team, which will compete in the 2006 World Championships in London, Ontario. The team will be coached by Syracuse head coach John Desko.
Princeton players will account for 12 of the 120 players at the tryouts. Of those 12, three will be players from the 2005 team, including captains Oliver Barry '05 and Jason Doneger '05. Zachary Jungers, who will be a junior next year, will be the only current Tiger at the tryouts.
In addition to those three and the five World Championship veterans, the other Princeton players will be Drew Casino '04, Damien Davis '03, Jesse Hubbard '98 and Josh Sims '00.
