GENEVA, N.Y.—Hobart goalie Max Silberlicht (New Hartford/New Hartford, N.Y.) is one of three collegiate players to merit an invitation to participate in the tryouts for the United States team that will compete in the 2008 International Lacrosse Federation Under-19 World Championship, July 3-12, in British Columbia, Canada.
In his first season as a Statesman, Silberlicht played in nine games, starting five. He won his first collegiate start, making a season-high 17 saves in an 11-10 victory over Fairfield. The performance earned Silberlicht the ECAC Lacrosse League Rookie of the Week award. He finished the season with 60 saves.
At New Hartford High School, Silberlicht led the Spartans to the 2006 Section III Championship, finishing his career with a save percentage of 71 percent. He also played goalie for the school’s soccer team that won the state championship.
In all, 120 players from across the country were invited to the tryouts from a pool of 235 nominations. The tryouts will be held July 12-15, 2007, at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. A panel of coaches will whittle the field down to a roster of 23.
