Matt Danowski (born August 12, 1985) is a professional lacrosse player for the Chesapeake Bayhawks of Major League Lacrosse. He has played for the Charlotte Hounds, New York Lizards, and The New Jersey Pride. He also played professional indoor lacrosse in the National Lacrosse League for the Rochester Knighthawks and Philadelphia Wings. He was a four-time college All-American at Duke University, and is currently second all-time NCAA Division I in total points in a career. ==Collegiate career== Danowski was a starter at Duke throughout his entire college career. As a sophomore in 2005, he won the Jack Turnbull Award, given to the nation's top collegiate attackman. Danowski was a member of Duke squad during the 2006 Duke University lacrosse team scandal, cutting short his junior campaign to eight games after the University prematurely ended the season. Following the forced resignation of long-time Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler, Danowski's father, John Danowski, became the head coach of the team. Due to the shortened season, resulting from "unusual circumstance," the NCAA granted 33 Duke lacrosse players, including Danowski, a rare fifth year of eligibility.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NCAA to allow Duke players to reclaim lost season )〕 Danowski, and teammate Zack Greer, led the Blue Devils high-powered attack to the 2007 NCAA Final Four. Duke faced Johns Hopkins University in the final, but lost despite mounting a strong comeback at the end of the game,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Johns Hopkins 12, Duke 11 )〕 This match-up was a repeat of the 2005 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship game. In 2007, Danowski won the Tewaaraton Trophy, awarded to the nation's most outstanding collegiate lacrosse player.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2007 Tewaaraton Trophy Winners Presented by Warrior )〕 That year, he also won the USILA's Lt. Raymond Enners Award as the national player of the year, and his second Jack Turnbull Award as attackman of the year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USILA Announces Player of the Year Awards for 2007 )〕 In the first round of the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship, in a victory over Loyola, Danowski broke the NCAA career points record, eclipsing Joe Vasta's mark. However, in the 2008 NCAA semifinals, Duke was again defeated by Johns Hopkins, ending Danowski's collegiate career without winning a NCAA championship. In 2008, he was again awarded the Lt. Raymond Enners Award as national player of the year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matt Danowski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
