Team USA's Westervelt Signs with Warrior

from press release

Denver Outlaws, Philadelphia Wings and U.S. team standout Drew Westervelt has signed an endorsement deal with Warrior Sports.

WARREN, Mich. -- Warrior Sports announced Monday the signing of Drew Westervelt to a multi- year endorsement contract. Drew is one of the top offensive players in the game today and will be used in a variety of marketing and advertising initiatives at the company. In addition, Drew will play a role in the development of new products at Warrior.

“Warrior is all about performance and giving lacrosse players the edge to play at the top of their game” said Westervelt. “I have always used Warrior and am fortunate to have the advantage of competing with Warrior products in both the MLL and FIL World Lacrosse Championships with Team USA.  I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue to grow the game with the sports premier brand."

Westervelt was recently named to the 23-man roster of the U.S. team that will compete in the FIL World Championship in Manchester, England from July 14-24, 2010. A former first-round pick (fourth overall) of the Denver Outlaws of Major League Lacrosse, Westervelt was the league's third-leading scorer and an All-Star in 2009. He plays in the National Lacrosse League (NLL) with the Philadelphia Wings, where in 2009 he was an NLL All-Star and a top-10 goal scorer in the league. Drew is a graduate of tUMBC, where he was an All-American and the school's No. 3 all-time scorer.

 “There’s no question Drew is one of the most dominant offensive players in the sport today, but he’s also a guy that genuinely loves the game and wants to be out there with young players in the community. That to me is what separates him and makes him a perfect guy to represent our brand and support new initiatives going forward” said Mark Millon, sports marketing director at Warrior.
