OTTAWA, Ontario – Two cogs of the University of Delaware lacrosse's future were honored this week when Reed Kurtz and Matt Acchione were named to the 2020 Team Canada U19 team.

Kurtz, a freshman on this year's team, and Acchione, an incoming recruit next fall, were among 23 athletes selected to the final roster, which will represent Canada in the 2020 World Lacrosse Men's U19 Championship next July in Limerick, Ireland.

The duo was a part of a group of 73 athletes from across Canada that went through two evaluation periods before the final group was announced this week.

Kurtz (Punslinch, Ontario) and Acchione (Barrie, Ontaro) are both midfielders and join a lineage of Blue Hens who hail from Canada including Tye Kurtz (Reed's brother), who was named 2019 CAA Rookie of the Year and All-Americans Jordan Hall, Curtis Dickson and John Grant Jr, among many others.
