via Under Armour Lacrosse web site   The third wave of lacrosse announcements by Under Armour has brought the number of Florida-based high school graduates nominated to the Boy’s and Girl’s High School Senior games to 4, as Connor Alexander of Jupiter has joined Marc-Antoine Pion of IMG, Olivia Ferrucci of Barron Collier and Abby Shields of Vero Beach in being invited to play in the games held July 3rd.  

  From the UA web site: “The 10th annual Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Game is gearing up for another exciting event set to take place on July 3 at Towson University’s Johnny Unitas Stadium. The best-of-the-best high school lacrosse players, 88 of them to be exact, will earn the sports’ most prestigious honor as Under Armour All-American and below are the rosters including the third wave of talented athletes named to the 2015 teams. The Top 44 senior boys and girls are selected by a committee made up of the nation’s most knowledgeable figures in high school lacrosse. Seniors in good academic standing are considered for participation. The players will compete in separate boys’ and girls’ North vs. South All-Star Games during the event. The 2015 Under Armour All-America rosters are selected by INSIDE LACROSSE and the selection committee. The 2015 Senior Games will take place Friday, July 3rd at Johnny Unitas Stadium at Towson University. The girls game will face-off at 5:30pm, with the boys game live on ESPNU at 8pm.”   For those who wonder about the quality of the game, just take a look back at the 2011 Boy’s rosters and you’ll see many of the top players you watched this season in college:

  (Author’s Note: there will be a last wave of picks on the Boy’s side as it looks like the Girl’s roster is now set.  For Florida to have 2 of the 33 already picked and 2 of the final 44 on the Girl’s side is a great accomplishment; this marks the first time we have had a Florida male player picked in a number of years, while Vero’s Olivia Blakeman and Katy Pridemore were selected for last year’s game) Set your DVR for summer watching if you can’t watch it live!
