SECAUCUS, N.J. (April 11, 2001) - Today's MLL Supplemental Draft began with the first trade in the history of the league as All-World goalie Sal LoCascio was traded from the Bridgeport Barrage to the Long Island Lizards. In all, 90 players were selected in today's supplemental draft from a pool of over 500 eligible players.

Each team had up to three minutes per draft choice in the 15 Round draft. The drafted players will join the 20 players per team who were previously chosen at the MLL Inaugural Draft, at their respective team's preseason training sessions, which begin the first week in May.

"The lacrosse talent pool in this country is phenomenal. Never have so many skilled players been assembled to play lacrosse at the same time," said Jake Steinfeld, CEO, Body by Jake Enterprises and Founder of Major League Lacrosse. "Now, with the supplemental draft, along with players who were drafted in January, and the upcoming collegiate draft, everything we promised our fans will come to fruition in June. The best lacrosse players in the world will be competing head to head for the first time ever this summer. You don't want to miss this!"

The Bridgeport Barrage received the first pick of the draft, with which they selected former Hofstra University midfielder Brian Langtry. With the second pick, the Rochester Rattlers chose midfielder Steven Toll from Rochester Institute of Technology. The Long Island Lizards, selecting third, traded their first round pick and attackman Joe Brock to Bridgeport for goaltender Sal LoCascio. With their second pick of the 1st Round, Bridgeport then selected attackman Scott Hochstadt from the University of Maryland. The fourth pick went to the New Jersey Pride, who chose Johns Hopkins alumni Jeffrey Wills. Dan Radebaugh, a former University of Maryland defenseman was chosen by the Boston Cannons with the fifth pick. The final pick of the first round was taken by the Baltimore Bayhawks, who selected midfielder Scott Diggs from Duke University.

"To be chosen first is certainly an honor. However, the opportunity to play on the Bridgeport Barrage against the best players in the world is the real thrill," said Langtry.

The inaugural MLL season begins Thursday, June 7th at Homewood Field in Baltimore, between the Baltimore Bayhawks and the Long Island Lizards. Tickets are on sale at www.majorleaguelacrosse.com.
