High-scoring attackman Byrne to make season debut for Bayhawks

High-scoring attackman Josh Byrne will be back in the starting lineup when the Chesapeake Bayhawks face the Denver Outlaws on Sunday afternoon (5 p.m.) at Sports Authority Field.

Byrne burst on the scene last season by setting a Major League Lacrosse rookie record by scoring 39 goals. That surpassed the previous mark by a first-year player of 34 that was set by Kieran McArdle of the Florida Launch in 2014.

Byrne was named MLL Rookie of the Year after leading the league in goals scored and finished tied for 10th with 46 points despite playing in just nine of 14 games.
