(November 14, 2012)… Hamilton Nationals midfielder David Earl re-signed with his professional indoor team on Tuesday. The 25-year-old agreed to a one-year deal with the Minnesota Swarm.

Last season, Earl notched six points (3+3), grabbed 37 loose balls and forced 13 turnovers in 11 games as a rookie in 2012. Minnesota acquired the University of Notre Dame product in the third round (No. 27 overall) of the 2011 NLL Entry Draft.

“David was a guy that continued to get better all year long,” Swarm associate general manager and head coach Joe Sullivan said on mnswarm.com. “He added a dynamic to his game with his ability to score on the breakaway. I see David getting better and better as we go. He’s smart and really athletic, so there’s tons of upside for him. I look forward to seeing big things from him this year.”

Earl completed his second season in Major League Lacrosse in 2012. In 11 games, he recorded 27 points to rank fourth on the team. In two seasons with the Hamilton Nationals, he has 35 goals, including two two-pointers, and 12 assists for 49 points.

The Simsbury, Conn. Native was Hamilton’s third-round selection (13th overall) in the 2011 MLL Collegiate Draft. He finished his college career with Notre Dame in 2011. He collected 51 goals, 22 assists for 73 points at the collegiate level. In 2011, he was named a First Team All-American. Earl was named the BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year in addition to being named to the USILA Scholar All-American Team. It was the second All-American citation for Earl, who received honorable mention accolades in 2010.
