Two Quakers selected in Major League Lacrosse draft

Two 2011 Penn graduates were drafted in the Major League Lacrosse supplemental draft yesterday. Midfielder Al Kohart was selected in the ninth round by the Chesapeake Bayhawks, and defenseman Brett Hughes was chosen in the 17th round by the Denver Outlaws.

During his time at Penn, Kohart tallied 72 goals and 20 asssits in 54 games, and he was named second-team All-Ivy twice — in 2008 and 2011. Hughes was a two-time captain and named first-team All-Ivy in 2011.

The eight-team league is set to open up its season on April 28.
