From the Capital-Journal:
Former Loyola-Maryland lacrosse star Pat Spencer has committed to
play basketball at Northwestern of the
Big Ten Conference.
Bruce Spencer told The Capital of
his son’s decision on Thursday afternoon. Bruce and Pat Spencer traveled to
Chicago together to visit the school and meet with head coach Chris Collins.
Pat Spencer, who won the Tewaaraton Award as
college lacrosse’s best player last month, is expected to sign his national
letter-of-intent later today. Northwestern cannot announce Spencer’s decision
and Collins cannot comment until the letter-of-intent has been processed.
Because he completed four years of
eligibility in lacrosse and graduated, Spencer can play another year in a
different sport as a graduate transfer, according to NCAA rules.
Northwestern plays Maryland twice next season,
meaning Spencer will get a chance to go against the program he grew up rooting
for.
Spencer was a two-year member of the varsity
basketball team at Boys’ Latin School in Baltimore. The Davidsonville resident
helped the Lakers capture their first MIAA B
Conference championship in 25 years and earned All-State recognition.
Spencer was named second
team All-Metro by The Sun after averaging 14.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.1
assists. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder played point guard for Boys’ Latin and
totaled 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the B Conference
championship game victory over Annapolis Area Christian School.
