With five picks in the first three rounds, and nine picks total, the team will have ample opportunities to bolster its roster. The Collegiate draft comes on the heels of the MLL Supplemental Draft in December which saw the Launch pick up some notable MLL veterans that, when added with some of the nation's top college players in this draft, will have the Launch roster chock full of talent heading into the upcoming season.

The event will take place in conjunction with the 2016 US Lacrosse National Convention being held at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD. The draft is free and open to the public while space permits.

The Collegiate Draft will be streamed LIVE on Lax Sports Network beginning with a special announcement made by Commissioner David Gross at the start of the draft.
