Coquitlam lacrosse product Challen Rogers has become the fifth player in Stony Brook University men’s lacrosse history to reach 200 career points.
The 21-year-old Dr. Charles Best secondary alum racked up 22 goals and 37 assists in 16 games with the Seawolves this year, his best season since joining the NCAA club in 2013. Over the course of four seasons, he has scored 92 goals and 116 assists in 66 games.
Rogers is better known around these parts as the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs forward who is expected to debut with the senior club when the Western Lacrosse Association season gets underway next week. The 6’4”, 215 lb. runner was selected third overall by the Sr. A’s in the WLA entry draft last February.
That wrapped up a five-year stint in the B.C. Jr. ‘A’ Lacrosse League, where he spent every season with the Jr. Adanacs, tallying 31 goals and 55 assists in 60 regular season games. He was also an important part of Coquitlam’s Minto Cup runs in 2014 and 2015.
The Adanacs will have their season home-opener at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex against the New Westminster Salmonbellies at 7 p.m. on May 21. For more information go to www.wlalacrosse.com.
