Oct 11 | Men's Lacrosse
PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers men's lacrosse team announced that it will be led by five captains during the 2019 season. Redshirt seniors Max Edelmann and Casey Rose, senior Kyle Pless, junior Kieran Mullins, and redshirt sophomore Adam Charalambides will captain the squad in 2019.
Edelmann enters his redshirt senior as a captain. The Middletown, Md. native was named Academic All-Big Ten last season and played every minute of the 2018 season as the starting goalkeeper with a .505 save percentage. A Second Team All-Big Ten selection in 2017, he holds a 9.27 goals-against-average for his career.
Pless is a senior long-stick midfielder from Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He played in all 15 games last season, compiling 28 ground balls and 11 caused turnovers. Named Rutgers' Junior Male Athlete of the Year last year, he has 35 career caused turnovers and 80 ground balls.
Rose started at midfield in all 15 games last season. The Utah native had 21 goals and 28 points on the season. Rose is a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree with 49 career goals in 45 career games.
Mullins is a two-year starter at attack. He was the second on the team with 31 goals, 17 assists and 48 points on the season. The junior from Islip, N.Y. was named Academic All-Big Ten and Distinguished Scholar by the Big Ten, and was a Second Team All-Big Ten selection in 2017.
Charalambides enters his redshirt sophomore season in 2019 after missing the last two seasons due to injury. The Georgetown, Ontario native was named the 2016 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, scoring 43 goals, tied for fifth most in a season in school history.
The program will host a fall tri-scrimmage this Saturday. RU will face UMass at 10 a.m. and Navy at 2 p.m, with the other two programs playing in between. The scrimmage will be free and open to the public. All fans should park in the Yellow Lot via Campus Road. As part of the scrimmage, RU is raising money for the Vs. Cancer Foundation to fight pediatric cancer. Donations to the team's fundraiser can be made here.
The tri-scrimmage this weekend kicks off a packed two-week stretch for the men's lacrosse program. The following weekend will be Alumni Weekend, with alumni welcomed back for a celebration that included the Hall of Fame Dinner on Friday, October 19, where John Howland will be inducted into the Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame. Saturday is the Homecoming football game, with the Hall of Fame honorees recognized at halftime. On Sunday, the team will host its annual Alumni Game.
