How many D1 lacrosse players can you name from Alabama? Not many names rolling off your tongue but the sport is gaining in popularity and is on a growth spurt like 6’7” defenseman Pierce Dalton who grew up in Homewood, Alabama and has committed to play for Drexel starting this fall ((2020)). Nick Fields, who played for Hopkins was one of Pierce’s favorite players to watch growing up. Admired his athleticism, stick skills and insane checks. Pierce will no doubt leave his mark at the D1 level as he’s mentally, physically and academically prepared himself to be collegiate athlete. His advice to rising lacrosse players: Wall ball and stick work. Study the game. Take care of yourself as an athlete. Do BIG things Pierce!
