More on Madigan:
Ashburn (July 24, 2007) – Broad Run High School rising senior Eric Madigan has made an early commitment to play Division I lacrosse at Sacred Heart starting in 2008.
Madigan, who scored 62 goals and had 41 assists and was the AA Dulles District Player of the Year in 2007, will join former teammate, Evan Morgan, who was named the AA Dulles District co-Player of the Year in 2006.
Morgan, with 13 goals and 11 assists, was named the Pioneers Rookie of the Year after his just-completed freshman season and was named to the Colonial Athletic Association’s All Rookie team. Morgan and Madigan teamed to help the Spartans capture the AA Region II title in 2006 and make a trip to the state playoffs. In 2007 Madigan helped the team repeat as regular season district champions but the Spartans were upset by Heritage in the district tournament finals and then fell just short in the regional playoffs.
Mark Madigan, Eric’s father, is president of Eastern Loudoun Lacrosse and he says Eric is the first player from the league, which started five years ago, to earn a Division I scholarship and he is also the first player to be named All-American, with official word from US Lacrosse expected to come in several weeks.
“It is pretty cool,” said Mark Madigan. “After attending camps, Eric had about 10 to 12 offers with four or five from Division I schools and the rest from top Division III schools. Sacred Heart is only going to take two attack guys so he will have a great chance to play.”
Madigan plays club lacrosse for FuZe Team Blue and in three years for the Spartans he has scored 122 goals with 75 assists in three high school seasons.
Sacred Heart with about 5,800 students is located in Fairfield, Conn. The Pioneers play in the competitive CAA which had four Top 20 teams this past year, Towson, Drexel, Delaware and Hofstra. Coach Tom Mariano will be entering his 12th season at the school next year.
