Merrick Thomson

He was co-captain of the Great Danes, alongside Frank Resetarits, and helped lead his team to the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament as a senior.

As a freshman, he equaled the NCAA single game record of playoff goals scored, with six, in a contest against the Syracuse Orangemen, earning America East Conference Rookie of the Year in 2004.

In limited playing time as a rookie, Thomson impressed, and has proved himself a valuable asset in the future to the Pride.

Thomson was selected in the first round (second overall) by the Philadelphia Wings of the National Lacrosse League in the 2007 NLL Entry Draft.

A consensus first round draft pick, the Wings chose Thomson to strengthen their left-handed offensive attack.
