Graduate student is first MU player ever selected for lacrosse's top league
Long-stick midfielder Liam Byrnes made history today, becoming the first Marquette Golden Eagle selected in the Major League Lacrosse draft. Byrnes was selected in the third round (21st overall) by the Florida Launch.
Brynes, a graduate student and team captain, is the program’s all-time leader in loose balls (158) and forced turnovers (69). He was named a Preseason Third-Team All-American by Inside Lacrosse last month. He has twice been a member of the All-BIG EAST team, including first-team honors last season.
