Duke U. LAX Goalie from Huntington Bay Suspended for 2010 Season

When Duke University's regular season begins Saturday, Feb. 20 vs. Notre Dame, junior goalkeeper from Huntington Bay Sean Brady will not be part of the team.

Brady has been suspended for the season for conduct unbecoming of a member of the program, according to a press release issued by Duke.

Reasons for the suspension were not outlined in the school's press release but comments in a Lacrosse Magazine reader's forum noted that it was due to academic ineligibility.

"It's an unfortunate situation," Coach John Danowski said in that magazine. "Our hope is that Sean can return after the year, but for now, it's not possible. We never give up on anybody."

Brady played 45 minutes in goal last season and finished with 10 saves. He did not see game action in 2008. He was expected to compete with freshman Dan Wigrizer for the Blue Devils' starting goalie position, according to the press release.
