Grant, Hall lift Canada to world lacrosse title 9:41 a.m., July 24, 2006--Two University of Delaware lacrosse players, former Fightin' Blue Hens star John Grant Jr. and senior Jordan Hall, scored two goals each to help lead Canada to a 15-10 victory over the United States in the World Lacrosse Championships title game played Saturday in London, Ontario. Grant, who now plays for the Rochester Knighthawks in the National Lacrosse League and for the Rochester Rattlers in Major League Lacrosse, was one of the top lacrosse players in school history and was inducted into the UD Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005. A native of Peterborough, Ontario, Grant played for the Hens in 1998 and 1999. He scored 81 goals and recorded 96 assists in just 32 career games and was a two-time United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association All-American. In 1999, Grant led UD to one of the finest seasons in school history as the Hens went 14-3 and advanced to the NCAA Division I championship tournament quarterfinals. He received the prestigious Enner Award as the USILA National Player of the Year. Grant finished the world championship tournament with 21 goals and 21 assists. Hall, a midfielder from Surrey, British Columbia, had 17 goals and 19 assists for UD in 2006 and was named second team All-Colonial Athletic Association. In the title game, Hall scored Canada's first goal, on a power play. For Canada, it was the first world championship in 28 years. |
