ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- Elizabethtown College head men's lacrosse coach Terry Corcoran will be one of 13 selectors for the United States men's national team which will compete at the 2010 World Games at Manchester, England. Tryouts will be held at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I. from Monday, June 8 through Wednesday, June 10.

Corcoran, an assistant coach on the 1990 US team that won the World Championship at Perth, Australia, will help choose the team that will look to regain the championship after its streak of six straight gold medals was snapped by Canada in 2006.

Corcoran recently completed his fourth season as head coach at Elizabethtown, having led the Blue Jays to a school-record 12 victories and a berth in the Middle Atlantic Conference semifinals. In 27 years as a collegiate head coach, Corcoran has accumulated 224 victories to rank among the top 10 in Division III history.

Under his tutelage in 2009, Elizabethtown led 151 Division III programs in scoring defense by allowing just 5.63 goals per game. The Blue Jays allowed three or fewer goals in seven of their 16 games, and surrendered more than eight goals just three times.

The Blue Jays, who lose just four seniors to graduation, also ranked eighth in scoring margin at plus 6.44 goals per game, scoring 193 goals while allowing just 90 over 16 games.

Individually, junior attack Aaron Weber ranked 13th in points per game (4.56) and 18th in goals per game (3.0) and sophomore midfielder Brent Campbell was 11th in faceoff win percentage at 65.1 percent, winning 123 of 189 draws.
