UNCASVILLE, CT. - The New England Black Wolves announced today the signing of Andrew Kew, the 3rd overall draft pick of the 2019 NLL Draft. The highest pick for New England since 2011, Kew adds an offensive weapon to the Black Wolves' left side.

Most recently, Kew scored the game winning goal of the Major League Lacrosse Championship for the Chesapeake Bayhawks.

In my opinion he has the package to keep developing into an elite offensive player in this league for many years. I am excited to get Andrew on the floor and even more excited for the fans of New England to get to know him."
