The 2007 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft is underway at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. The to-be-named Boston expansion franchise held the first overall selection heading into the draft, but traded the pick to the New York Titans, along with the 29th overall selection, in exchange for defenseman Matt Alrich and the third overall selection. The Titans then used the first overall pick to select Jordan Hall, a transition player out of the University of Delaware.
Hall, a Surrey, British Columbia native (Fleetwood Park High School) was the University of Delaware's second leading scorer with 38 points on 26 goals and 12 assists in 2007. Hall also ranked second on the team with 54 ground balls. He scored at least one point in each of his final 31 career games and ended the season as the leading career scorer among all active NCAA Division I midfielders. Hall played in 66 career games with 61 starts and recorded 140 points on 85 goals and 55 assists and scooped up 184 ground balls. He ranks No. 13 on the all-time UD list for assists and points and No. 17 for goals and his goal just three seconds into a 2006 game vs. Albany is an NCAA record for fastest goal to start a game. He also recorded six career hat tricks, including four in 2007.
