The University of Denver kicked three players off its men’s lacrosse team, coach Jamie Munro said Tuesday.
Senior Brad Richardson, junior Ilija Gajic and sophomore Jamie Lincoln were dismissed from the team after “violations of team policies.” Because of student confidentiality, schools are often not allowed to specify why players are released.
Gajic is the younger brother of Colorado Mammoth player Nenad Gajic and the older brother of DU freshman forward Alex Gajic.
