Two former Retrievers, Brendan Mundorf and Drew Westervelt were recently selected to be apart of the 23-man roster to represent the United States in the Federation of International Lacrosse World Championship in Manchester, England from July 14-24, 2010.

After Mundorf graduated in 2006, and Westervelt graduated in 2007, the two were drafted in successive years by the Denver Outlaws to once again become teammates. The two are the third and fourth former Retrievers to be selected to the national team with the first being defender Gary Clipp (1976) in 182, and the second being defender George McGeeney (1982), who was selected in 1986 and 1990.

While at UMBC Mundorf earned All-America honors in 2005 and 2006 and was the America East Player of the Year in 2006. Hist 112 career goals is good for sixth in school history while his 73 assists rank ninth, and 195 points is also sixth.

In 2006 Mundorf was also selected to compete for Team Australia for the World Lacrosse Championships, in which he led them to third-place with 32 points off 24 goals and eight assists.

Westervelt however earned third-team all-American honors in 2007 and is UMBC’s third all-time leading scorer with 206 points off 112 goals (tied for sixth all-time with Mundorf) and 94 assists (third all-time). In 2007 he recorded 35-goals and 26 assists for 71 points, which was second all-time in UMBC’s Division I history.

Since playing at UMBC both have dominated the MLL and were both 2009 All-Star selections.
