ANNAPOLIS, MD - In its 13th year, the Major League Lacrosse (MLL) All-Star Game presented by Moe's Southwest Grill will be held at American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, NC on Saturday, July 13th, 2013. Of the 38 MLL players chosen to the 2013 All-Star rosters, 8 were selected from Chesapeake's roster, the most of any other team in the league. This year's All-Star teams will be selected the night before the game by the two winners of the MLL Ultimate Fan Fantasy Contest.
Representing the Bayhawks for selection in the 2013 All-Star game are attackmen Ben Rubeor and Drew Westervelt, defensemen Barney Ehrmann and Michael Evans, goalie Kip Turner, and midfielders Matt Abbott, Steven Brooks, and Kyle Dixon.
On offense, Westervelt (5th nomination) leads the team in goals with 18 and tallies a total 24 points with 6 assists while Dixon (5th nomination) follows with a total 24 points on 5 goals, 4 two-pointers, and 15 assists. Rubeor (1st nomination) has also been a stand out this season with 23 points on 18 goals and 5 assists.

The All-Stars will also be wearing specially designed jerseys that will be auctioned off following the game to benefit JDRF, the 2013 All-Star Game's charity.

It is home to the league's skills competition, in which players showcase specialty skills that wouldn't be seen during regular games.
