EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY â First-year New Jersey Storm forward Marc Morley has been named to the National Lacrosse League's 2002-2003 All-Rookie Team, it was announced today. Morley played in eleven games for the Storm this year amassing 20 goals and 9 assists, while picking up 35 loose balls.

The Hoboken, New Jersey resident was drafted by the Albany Attack in the third round of the 2002 Entry Draft and was subsequently traded to New Jersey for a third round pick in the 2003 Entry Draft. Collegiately, Morley was an All-American and First Team All-League performer at the University of Massachusetts.
"Once Marc got accustomed to the indoor game he really took off and became one of the best rookies in the League in the last several years," said Storm General Manager Jim Brady. "As he continues to develop, we expect Marc to become one of the top players in the NLL."
The 23-year old southpaw joins Rookie of the Year Brian Langtry (28 G, 34 A â Colorado), Lewis Ratcliff (24 G, 21 A â Calgary), Chris Schiller (16 G, 8 A â Rochester), Cam Sedgwick (16 G, 32 A â Vancouver), and Aaron Wilson (21 G, 16 A â Toronto) on the All-Rookie Team.

New Jersey (3-13) recently finished its second season in the 18-year old indoor National Lacrosse League.
