Megill, Marasco chosen in 2013 MLL Draft

Brian Megill and JoJo Marasco were both selected in the 2013 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft Friday night.

Megill, an Inside Lacrosse preseason first-team All-American defenseman, was the No. 7 overall selection in the first round to the Denver Outlaws. Marasco, a Yorktown Heights, N.Y., native, was a fourth round pick, 37th overall, by the New York Lizards. The midfielder was named a preseason All-American honorable mention by Inside Lacrosse.

The two selections were the fewest for Syracuse since Chris Daniello and Cody Jamieson were the lone SU players selected in the 2010 Draft.

The Orange is expected to receive large contributions from non-seniors this season, including preseason All-American honorable mentions juniors Derek Maltz and Nicky Galasso. Only seniors are eligible for the MLL Collegiate Draft.

Syracuse and its two draftees open the season Feb. 17 against Albany in the Carrier Dome, but preseason action begins Jan. 26 with a doubleheader against Hofstra and Holy Cross.
