Biography

The USA team in the 1948 lacrosse demonstration was from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), which was coached by Ned Harkness, later a head coach in the NHL. Alan Myers was on the RPI team and was chosen to play in the game. He played right attack in the game against England. Myers scored two goals in the first period and then a third in the final period with three minutes to play, which was the American’s final goal and eventually preserved the tie.
