Colin Massa Selected by Denver Outlaws in 2017 MLL Draft

BOSTON – Former Mercer defenseman Colin Massa became the program's first draftee as he was selected 81st overall (ninth round) Sunday by the Denver Outlaws in the 2017 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft Sunday.

Massa joins fellow Bears alumnus and current Outlaws goalie Mike Nugent, who was selected in last year's MLL Supplemental Draft and earned a spot on Denver's 25-man roster last month. The duo represent Mercer's two current professional players.

A Suwanee, Georgia native and four-year starter, Massa was named to three all-conference teams in his career (All-Southern Conference Second Team twice and All-Atlantic Sun Second Team once). He rounded out his career among Mercer's all-time leaders in caused turnovers (33, third), ground balls (77, seventh) and caused turnovers per game (0.66, ninth).

Massa joins a Denver organization that is off to a hot start in the 2017 season, owning a 4-1 record while sitting atop the MLL standings.
