Sunday Signs with MLL’s Atlanta Blaze

ATLANTA -- For a second time this week, a former Towson University men's lacrosse player has signed a professional contract with the Atlanta Blaze of Major League Lacrosse.

On Thursday afternoon, attackman Brendan Sunday signed the first contract of his pro career with the Blaze after the organization drafted him 13th overall in the 2019 MLL Collegiate Draft back in March.

Sunday is the fourth Tiger to sign an athlete deal with the Blaze, joining classmate Alex Woodall, who signed on Wednesday, and former teammate Sid Ewell, who was selected by the Blaze in the dispersal draft in late April. After nine years out of the league, Brian Vetter is listed on the Blaze roster as an attackman as well. Additionally, another former Tiger works in the front office of the organization, with Spencer Ford serving as the vice president for player personnel.

In 2019, Sunday had a breakout year as he was named Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Co-Offensive Player of the Year. Sunday scored a career-best 74 points, which ranks fourth all-time for a single season in Towson history. The 6-foot, 5-inch attackman tagged opponents for 49 goals and had 25 assists. Five of Sunday's 2019 goals came from next-level teammate Woodall, including two against No. 7 Johns Hopkins and two at No. 2 Duke.

Sunday's 49 points this season led the CAA while ranking second in goals per game in the league. During the 2019 CAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament, Sunday racked 11 points on six goals and five assists en route to CAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors. In the CAA Semifinal, Sunday scored three goals against third-seeded Delaware while handing out five assist. His five assists tied a CAA Tournament record while his eight points did likewise. In that game, Towson scored 18 goals which also tied a CAA Tournament record. For the Tournament, Sunday's contributions helped the Tigers set a CAA Tournament record with 34 combined goals.

During the 2019 campaign, Sunday logged 10 hat tricks, including a sock trick with six goals in the season opener against Hopkins. The Poughquag, New Yorker had 13 multi-goal games while finishing his Tiger career with a 23-game scoring streak that included 54 goals and 29 assists.

In addition to serving as team co-captain this year, Sunday was named as the CAA Player of the Week on Feb. 26, earned a spot on the USILA Division I Team of the Week (Feb. 26) and was the Baltimore Sun National Player of the Week (March 1).

The Atlanta Blaze open the 2019 season on June 2 with a 4 p.m. game against the Denver Outlaws. The Blaze will play at Grady Stadium in Atlanta.
