Our groundbreaking, imitated, but never duplicated Recruiting Rundown, launched in 2009.
Get caught up on the latest news right here, right now by visiting LaxLessons.com’s groundbreaking, imitated, but never duplicated Lacrosse Insider. It’s the No. 1 source for recruiting news, analysis and objective information in the NY/NJ/CT tristate hotspot and the entire lax galaxy, featuring nationally respected, award-winning multimedia news and sports director, manager, producer and editor Joe Lombardi, the author of the latest edition of “Lacrosse for Dummies.”
Memorial services for former Garden City (NY) lacrosse standout Eddie Blatz, a junior on the Georgetown University men’s lacrosse team who died suddenly Sunday morning, have been announced.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Blatz family and our players and Eddie’s friends as we begin to go through the grieving process,” Georgetown Head Coach Kevin Warne said. “Eddie was a great young man who was well-respected and well-liked by his teammates and the Georgetown lacrosse family. He was a very bright student and a talented player and words cannot express the loss we are feeling right now.”
A defenseman who appeared in 25 games and started 19 during his career, Blatz Jr. was enrolled in the McDonough School of Business and was a management major.
A 2013 Garden City graduate, Blatz also played football and basketball.
“Our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies go to Eddie’s family as together we mourn his sudden passing,” Georgetown Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Lee Reed said. “This is a tragic loss not only for our Georgetown athletics family but for our entire university. He will be greatly missed by his teammates and coaches and friends on campus. The University community will provide campus resources to our student-athletes and coaches during this difficult time.”
Georgetown fell to Virginia 9-8 on Saturday night in a home contest. The 6-foot-5, 213-pound Blatz started the game.
