Brown's Jordan Burke and Brady Williams have been selected to compete in the 68th United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Associations North/South Senior All-Star Game to be played at Harvard Stadium on Friday as part of a tripleheader.

The Division III game will be played at 2 p.m., and the Division I/II game will be played at 4 pm., followed by the Boston Cannons game vs. the Denver Outlaws at 7:30.

Burke and Williams helped the Bears to a 12-4 overall record and a berth in the NCAA Playoffs for the first time since 1997. The Bears were ranked first in New England and finished the regular season ranked 11th nationally.

Burke, the Ivy League and New England Player of the Year for the second straight season, is a finalist for both the Tewaarton Award as the National Player of the Year, and the Lowe's Senior Class Award for achievement on the field, in the classroom and in the community. He is the first player in the history of Ivy League men's lacrosse to win back-to-back Player of the Year awards.

An honorable mention All-Ivy selection as a midfielder, Williams was Brown's fifth-leading scorer with 31 points (17 goals, 14 assists).

The Division I/II North team will be coached by Mike Pressler of Bryant University.
