Article is new enough and long enough. Inline citations are used everywhere save for the lead section, which is summarizing other parts of the article and these are sourced; acceptable under WP:LEAD and WP:DYKSG. I am not seeing any close paraphrasing or plagiarism of any kind. Hook is longish but moderately interesting, and is sourced. I have some concerns about the sourcing of the article though: a) I can't find the statement of "junior year in 2001" in the cited source, b) The source linked for "fourth nationally in career goals" to me says "fifth",c) I can't find "17-0" in the source given, d)the weight in the source is "204" no "203" pounds,and e) "winner of the Major League Lacrosse MVP Award" - where in the source does it say so?; and f) I assume these sources are WP:RS; are they? I am not too familiar with the subject matter. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- Template:U, sources were added to more explicitly and unequivocally address issues a and c. In terms of e, regarding MVP status, see this source, in the article, which states "2010: Played in all 12 games for the Cannons...Named 2010 Bud Light MLL Most Valuable Player". Let me know if you have any other questions about the article. Alansohn (talk) 19:57, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
