DU Lax Signs Top 40 Recruit From Baltimore

Gilman School [Baltimore, MD] senior lacrosse standout Gordie Koerber, who helped lead the Greyhounds to the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championship last spring, has committed to play at the University of Denver.

An emerging national power, Denver reached the national semifinals this past spring.

"I had a great time on my visit, and the coaches made me feel very welcome and part of the team," Koerber said Thursday. "They're a great team, and with the success they had last year, I'm grateful to have the chance to be a part of it and build on last year."

As a junior, Koerber scored four goals in Gilman's 13-8 championship victory over Calvert Hall, earning the Greyhounds the area's No. 1 ranking with a 13-5 mark. It was his first year as a starter and second on varsity, and he finished with 31 goals and seven assists.

In July, Koerber was selected to participate in the prestigious Warrior 40 national camp at Harvard, which features the top 40 high school players in the country.

At the time, he said he had gotten only limited interest from Division-I teams, but he held out hope that a major program would recruit him.

Denver finished last season ranked No. 4 in the country with a 15-3 record. The Pioneers had their second straight perfect season in the Eastern College Athletic Conference and also won the inaugural ECAC tournament title.

Jesus, why can't people understand that this is NOT a hockey blog? It's a DU blog. If you don't like it, move on.

Hey ,I'm not Jesus but here is the real deal on this site. It is mainly a Hockey site but not exclusively. It was developed by D.G. from his hockey interests and aimed at other D.U. hockey fanatics-like me, Miller, Swami( come on back Swam)etc. But that does not exclude it from mentioning other D.U. sport events like Lacrosse. After all, many of us as Alums pull for all D.U. achievments while admitting to a strong bias for our hockey program. So, in summary, the site is strongly biased towards our hockey team but still includes other D.U. sports.

I agree. Stick with hockey! Also, show mexico the respect he deserves!!!

Aluum, you are absolutely correct. I enjoy hearing anything connected with DU, whether it's hockey, lax, b-ball, whatever. DG and his staff do an tremendous job and should be congratulated. If you don't like the content, you might consider Donald's site, it's always good for a few laughs.

Don't forget to save me a beer Aluum!!!

This is the dumbest argument going. Scratch that, the Super Conference going down the tubes on USCHO is the dumbest argument going. This is the second dumbest argument.

Keep the LAX and all things DU converage going DG.

You guys can have him. We don't really want him and I think he would fit in better with you.

@ mexico

I do agree, it's probably a good idea to have the doctor check first if your gerbil scratches are all healed before playing butt pirate again so soon...
