Two Jaspers Will Represent Team Ireland at 2006 World Games
Manhattan head coach Tim McIntee
was with Team Ireland at the 2002 World
Lacrosse Games in Australia, where the Irish
participated in the international event for the
first time in the country’s history. Four years
later, McIntee once again will be on Team
Ireland’s sideline as the offensive coordinator,
but this time he will have another Jasper
there with him. Junior attackman Brian
Murray has made the team’s final cut and
will be in uniform for the 2006 World Games
in London, Ontario.
Murray tried out with more than 125 other
athletes attempting to make the squad, and
he wound up being one of the top 23 players
on the roster. Murray’s selection is not a surprise
to McIntee, who has coached Murray the past
two years at Manhattan.
“Brian’s a great voice on our team and just a true competitor,”
McIntee says. “More than anything, he has a great understanding
for the game.”
Murray, who tallied 12 goals and 12 assists during the 2005
campaign, also has a great understanding of the type of offense
McIntee runs, which should benefit him as Team Ireland begins
preparation for the games at training camp from July 6-12 at
Cornell University.

Participates in NCAA YES Clinic
“I’m excited to see Brian on the field with me and honored to
be part of the whole process for a second time,” McIntee says.
“It is just an absolute unbelievable experience to be involved
with the World Games.”
McIntee also sees excitement in the advancement of
Irish lacrosse.
“One of the most rewarding things about the games is to
see the growth of Irish lacrosse and the sport as a whole in the
international community,” McIntee says. “It will be a responsibility
of both Brian and me to spread the game of lacrosse throughout
the world and help it grow.”
Manhattan Volleyball head coach Ray Green is one of only eight coaches nationwide who was selected
to serve as an advisor for the NCAA Youth Education through Sports Clinic (YES). The program was held
on December 17 in San Antonio, Texas, in conjunction with the Division I NCAA Volleyball Championships.
Green, who served at the clinic for the second time in his career, enjoys participating in the event.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the experience the first time around, and I was honored and elated to be a part
of the program again,” Green says.
The program is designed to teach boys and girls the “fun” in fundamentals of sports and life.
The recruitment effort for the clinic heavily involves ethnic minority populations, in addition to those
youth who are underserved in the area of sports participation.
Joining Green at the clinic were Lady Jasper seniors setter Lori Bambauer and libero Ashley Davis.
Under the guidance of Green and the other selected coaches, Bambauer and Davis, along with several
other student-athletes, completed the task of instructing the YES participants. In previous years, a majority
of the instruction came from the coaches, but with this academic year being the 100th anniversary of
the NCAA and the “Year of the Student-Athlete,” the NCAA has increased the instructional involvement
of the student-athletes.
“Not only is this a tremendous opportunity for myself, Ashley and Lori, but it is great that the youth
got a chance to work with and learn from such high-level student-athletes,” Green says.
