Navy men's lacrosse sustained a significant loss recently when standout midfielder Casey Rees suffered a knee injury that will force him to miss the entire 2017 season.
nonRees, an honorable mention All-American last season, suffered a knee injury during a non-contact workout and will undergo surgery in early January. While the exact nature of the ligament damage has not been determined, the rehabilitation period following surgery will prevent the Boys' Latin graduate from playing at all in 2017.
"We feel very badly for Casey. It's a tough loss because he's a great player and an outstanding leader," Navy head coach Rick Sowell said.
