Bergey_AllStarNominee
Iannucci and Bergey Headline 2008 NLL All-Star Ballot
Thursday, February 7, 2008

Six members of the undefeated (3-0) Philadelphia Wings have been placed on the 2008 Nll All-Star Ballot.  Wings’ forwards Athan Iannucci, Jake Bergey, Merrick Thomson; transition player Geoff Snider; defender Taylor Wray; and goalie Rob Blasdell are all nominees on the Eastern Division ballot.  The 2008 NLL All-Star Game will be played on Sunday, March 16 at Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta.

Fans will have the opportunity to help select the starting line-ups for both the East and West Division Teams.  Voting will take place at www.nll.com/community through Sunday, February 24.  Fans may submit one ballot per day.  The fans’ votes will be combined with those of league media and team General Managers and Head Coaches, with each counting for one-third of the total vote.  The All-Star Game coaches will select all remaining positions on the team.

Iannucci is in his second season with the Wings and leads the team in scoring with 21 points (14G, 7A).  The 6’4”, 215-pound, Hofstra University graduate also ranks second in the National Lacrosse League in goal scoring. 

Bergey, now playing in his eleventh season with the Wings, currently ranks third in goal scoring in the National Lacrosse League with 12 goals.  The Salisbury State product has recorded 17 total points (12G, 5A) in his first three games played in the 2008 season.  Bergey scored the game-winning overtime goal in the Wings last home game versus the Buffalo Bandits on Saturday, January 26.

Thomson is in his rookie season with the Wings and currently is tied for the league lead in rookie goal scoring with eight goals.  The University at Albany standout was the second overall pick in this year’s NLL Entry Draft.

Snider was the Wings first pick (third overall) in the 2006 NLL Entry Draft.  The 5’11”, 200-pound transition player has eight points (2G, 6A) and has 30 groundballs.  The Calgary, AB native has won 71% of all face-offs he has taken this season (55 of 77).

Wray is in his fifth year out of Duke University.  The 6’2”, 230-pound defender has collected 27 loose balls and has three points (2G, 1A) in his first three games played.

Blasdell is currently second in the NLL in wins with three and ranks sixth in the league in saves with 123.  Blasdell was acquired from the Arizona Sting in the first round of the 2007 National Lacrosse League Dispersal Draft.
