PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers senior defensemen Chris O’Dougherty (Kinnelon, N.J.) has been selected to play in the 68th United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association North/South All-Star game. The contest will be played at Harvard Stadium on Friday, May 22 as part of a triple header.
O’Dougherty’s South team will take on the North in one of three games to be played on Memorial Day Weekend. The Division III all-star game will be played at 2 p.m., the Division I/II game will start at 4 p.m. and the Boston Cannons MLL game vs. the Denver Outlaws will wrap up the day at 7:30 p.m.
