Two Terps Named to USA U-19 Roster

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland men's lacrosse freshman Austin Henningsen and 2016 commit Jared Bernhardt have been named to the final 25-man United States Men's National Under-19 Team roster.

The team will travel to the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championship in Coquitlam, British Columbia, from July 7-16.

Henningsen was rated as one of the top faceoff specialists in the country, leading Northport High School (Northport, N.Y.) to a Suffolk Division I Championship while claiming Suffolk Country All-America honors. Bernahrdt is one of the top rated midfielders in the 2016 class and is the brother of former Terrapin lacrosse players Jesse Bernahrdt and Jake Bernhardt. He will join Maryland as a freshman in 2016-17.

The 25 players were selected from a 30-man squad that attended Team USA training camps in November (Columbus, Ohio) and January (Bradenton, Fla.). The 30 players were originally narrowed from a pool of 51 athletes that attended an August training camp in Baltimore, Md., following a 105-player tryout in June, also in Baltimore. Two of the 25 will be named alternates in the lead-up to the World Championship, at which point 23 players will be eligible to compete for Team USA.

The 2016 U.S. men's U-19 team will convene for training June 4-5 in the Baltimore area, followed by another training camp July 2-5 in Seattle before crossing the border for Canada and the FIL World Championship.
